The Beginning and Purpose of YouTube Nirvana

Welcome one and all to my blog, YouTube Nirvana, the guide to YouTube.

What exactly is a guide to YouTube? Well, let's not think of guide as in TV Guide. In order to define what this guide is, I must tell you what exactly YouTube is (at least what I think it is).

YouTube is a growing online community of millions of people around the world who share themselves with the world. These people range from comedians, musicians, and artists to people who just want to express themselves and share ideas to reviewers and critics to huge corporations selling their product to athletes and sports... and the list goes on and on. It's a microphone that everyone is given and they're allowed to say what the wish in hope that someone is listening.

Well, at least that's the heart of YouTube. The casual YouTube browser of today will use it to replay Family Guy clips, watch parts of their favorite movie, or see a video of a recent phenomena. However, this blog will steer away from those and focus much more on user-provided and created contented and introduce you to the users behind them.

So, about this guide. While YouTube is made up of channels, it's not like a TV where every channel is defined and a diverse set of shows are set in time slots. YouTube channels provide you with whatever the creator of the channel creates and uploads. Unlike a TV channel, you get videos whenever the user posts them. However, with the entire network of YouTube, you can endlessly get lost with the hundreds of thousands of content uploaded daily! This guide will help you find some of the more interesting and consistent channels along with some very interesting videos to check out throughout the day.

This is a rough first post, but I just wanted to get out a bit of a "mission statement". Don't think of me like a "Trendy Tuesday" or one of the people who promote videos on the site who don't really have a name. At the moment, this is a one man operation. Feel free to address me as Nirvana!

Also, I will more than likely be posting live videos on my channel TubeNirvana, which is empty at the moment, giving more personal videos that will explain what's going on in the week and hopefully with interviews of really YouTubers!
