YouTube

I love YouTube. It is entertaining to watch the funny videos that are out there. People do some crazy things. I remember one of the first ones I watched was a girl lip sinking some song (sorry, I can’t remember which one it was). It wasn’t the song so much as it was how she was singing it. It was hilarious. I was hooked after that.

I also like how it is being used more and more by politicians this year. This is the most fun I have ever had during a political campaign. I love seeing the jokes about Hillary and Obama, all the new music and support for Obama that has come out of YouTube, and just the new feel of how campaigning has become. People are doing things because they want to help. It is more real than having all the rich people and other politicians buy who they want to win. It seems to be more about what the people want this time. We can see this in all the new music videos out there that musicians were not paid to make or asked by any politician. They just did it to get the message across about who they want to win. Then they put it up on YouTube for everyone to view. I don’t know, it just seems to be less of “whoever has more money will win” and more of “look what I think about this politician” which, for me, makes it more about the public deciding.

I think businesses could use it more and this is an area that seems to be untapped so far. I know I would try to use it to my benefit if I were a business owner or consultant. I think I would try to make it funny so it would grab peoples attention and get spread around. The comical ones are what I enjoy and seek out the most. It’s kind of like the funny commercials during the Super Bowl; it’s half the reason some of us watch the game.
