I have a brief note on the power of youtube. My father in law set up a computer monitor in front of his tred mill for the sole purpose of watching youtube videos during his workouts. He is in his early 60's and completely hooked. I will pass this along to him. This was a well put together video. I have a brief note on the power of youtube.

The concept of community in the western world is certainly different. Many tend to isolate themselves on purpose. Great lecture, like the guy previously said it seemed shorter.

The insight into the fact that most of us in the western world lack community and are truly isolated despite being surrounded by thousands of people is quite profound. As marketers and copywriters we tend to look at YouTube as an avenue to create traffic, conversion and profits. But that's a bit like looking at the ability to write as only being good to sell in print. YouTube gives us instant access to a keldeidoscope of living breathing, loving people in a way that's never happened before in the history of the planet. The potential is mind blowing. Kindest regards, Andrew Cavanagh This really is a brilliant video.

We love how he showed The Charlies video and how many times it has been remixed and I learned something new today - that whole Soulja Boy song....I had NO idea it derived from user generated content on YouTube... that's beyond interesting. You Tube really does make stars and it has far more uses than just uploading photos -- once you get viral, the opportunities truly are endless. Favoriting this video for later viewing.. thanks!
