YouTube Partner Program now available in Ireland

youtube

Good news for Sophie Merry and other Irish YouTube stars - the YouTube partner program launched yesterday for Ireland, meaning that big-views grabbing Irish people can now get some monetary compensation for their work. This is fantastic news. From the YouTube blog:

What do Japan, Australia, and Ireland all have in common?

They are the newest countries from which users can now apply to become partners in the YouTube Partner Programme. Now open in six countries, the YouTube Partner Programme is our way of recognising the most popular and prolific original content creators in the YouTube community worldwide. It’s only been four months since we first expanded in December, but the results have already exceeded our expectations: we’ve paid out more than $1,000,000 in total revenue to user partners as part of the Partner Programme. The programme continues to grow every day, and we are excited to welcome tokyomimecity and Hughsnews as two of our newest partners.

Bonus: South Park kills 10 YouTube memes for good. (Warning, contains typical South Park ultra-violence.)
