YouTube, the popular video marketing site, recently added a vuvuzela button to its best clips.
The vuvuzela button has been installed by the video sharing website and this button will play a distinctive buzzing soundtrack over its videos. This button is in the shape of a football on the bottom right hand corner below the video screen.
From in.news.yahoo.com:
However, many technology blogs have condemned the video sharing website’s popularising move, which almost fades out the original sound of the clips, reports The Telegraph.
“YouTube always has had a way with pranks,” Tech Crunch’s Jason Kincaid wrote in his blog.
“Clicking it will activate an endless, incredibly annoying sound that sounds vaguely like a swarm of insects,” he added.
“As if we haven’t been hearing the buzzing sound of vuvuzelas enough in the last couple of days,” Stan Schroeder wrote on social media blog Mashable.
“If you haven’t been following the football World Cup and you’re not familiar with the term, vuvuzela is a plastic horn that produces a loud monotone which starts getting on your nerves in about five seconds,” he added.
When a viewer will click on the vuvuzela button, he will hear sounds vaguely resembling a swarm of insects.
