In Case You Missed It - Get Your 15 Minutes of Fame

Yes you heard it we now can all get our 15 minutes of fame. YouTube has increased the 10 minute cap to 15 minutes. the reason:
> Well, we’ve spent significant resources on creating and improving our state-of-the-art Content ID system and many other powerful tools for copyright owners. Now, all of the major U.S. movie studios, music labels and over 1,000 other global partners use Content ID to manage their content on YouTube. Because of the success of these ongoing technological efforts, we are able to increase the upload limit today.

This actually is great news for those long form video providers. We now will be able to create content that is a bit more plot driven... OR we may see 15 minutes of lame video. I hope not! As a part of this announcement YouTube has said
> Tag your video with “yt15minutes,” upload it by Wednesday, August 4, and we’ll select a handful of people to truly gain their 15 minutes of fame by featuring them on the YouTube homepage in a future spotlight.

So let's go all get our 15 minutes of fame.
