Is It Me Or Is It YouTube?

Yesterday, a friend of ours e-mailed a link to a video of her new kitchen. I decided to send her back a video of our own kitchen. So I shot a quick video, uploaded it to YouTube, and sent out the link.

Then the weird thing happened. About 30 minutes after I uploaded the video, it disappeared off my YouTube account. Poof. Gone. No notice, no nothing. I have no idea why. The video is about 45 seconds of me talking as I walk through my kitchen; I didn’t add any music or graphics or do any editing at all, so there’s no possible copyright issues.

I don’t upload stuff to YouTube very often so maybe this is normal and I just don’t know it. Or maybe I’m the victim of some unfortunate glitch. Either way, it’s a little annoying.

At any rate, I signed up for a Vimeo account and re-uploaded the video there. If you’re really curious, you can see it (but I warn you, it’s kind of boring):

UPDATE 8:30PM: And now it’s back on YouTube. Go figure.

  1. This is the kitchen, where I’ll be learning how to make yummy Apple pie, right? …I’ll leave for vacation this friday and will be back on the 9th. I’ll call you as soon as I’m back.

  2. Not biased or nuthin, but Yahoo Video just relaunched. It’s got a bigger on-screen player than YouTube. I use it for all my family videos. (But Vimeo’s pretty good, too.)

  3. My prep table is not much smaller than your kitchen (4.5 x 9), however since we have three cats we need the space.
