As per a U.S. based terrorism monitor, the extremists are authoring step-by-step instructions on the use of YouTube to publicize their propaganda videos. Infact, postings from other Islamic forums on the web are triggering the militants to make use of the site as a user-friendly tool. "I say that the YouTube site is one of the easiest sites to record and upload the clips. I ask you, by Allah, as soon as you read this subject, to start recording on YouTube, and to start cutting and uploading and posting clips on the jihadist, Islamic, and general forums," the posting states. The SITE Intelligence Group also pinpointed that the posts also guides the readers to the software they might need to publish on the Internet and includes several screenshots showing step by step instructions on how to create a YouTube account and to upload material.
