Last night we went over how Youtube has influenced the world. Ordinary people can post their own home videos and basically become famous over night. I think it is incredible how many people actually post videos. It also is a great marketing scheme for companies to have customers post their own videos using their product. That way their name gets out to the public and they are involving their customers. That is a great marketing strategy. One of my most favorite videos is "dave after dentist".
A father and a son visited the dentist office. However the son was a little "high" from his dentist visit. Needless to say the father video recorded his son freaking out to the way he was feeling. A little insensitive, maybe. But the outcome of the product is priceless. Not only did the two become famous for their video post, but recently when watching Tosh.O on Comedy Central they were give a Web Redemption. This basically means the son is now in charge and going to video tape his dad doing stupid stuff. Youtube is a great way for anyone to get their name out to the public, and it also is a great way to pass the time, whether you are at work, in school, or just bored at home.

This video is a classic! We should have shown this in class, too. Did you notice that there was a Super Bowl ad for an Internet TV (I forget the company), that showed Twitter, Facebook, and a bunch of other popular sites -- and there was a clip from David -- so, this video even made it's way to a super bowl ad!
