YouTube! - you rule!

There is a revolution going on! We all are touched by it, we experience it but very few of us have grasped what change is happening and have a name for it. Thomas L. Friedman calls it Uploading and Tim O'Reilly calls it "architecture of participating". Other hyped terms are Web 2.0!

YouTube is a great example of this. I have heard about it a couple of months ago but never took the time to check it out. Well, today while I was creating my LavaLife profile - another story - I also started playing around on YouTube. YouTube is a site which allows everyone to upload their videos and share them with the world. You might say, why would I do this? Well, there are thousands posted. And it's another way of sharing your life and experiences with the world. Connect with the world!

It didn't take long for me to create an account, listen to some professional music clips - small groups but very professional made - and subscribe to them. Didn't take long and I posted comments and filled out my profile with all my details! It literally was drawing me into participating. This is what is happening all around - individuals participating, creating and sharing content - not just consuming it. There are millions out there who create content every hour, every day. This is going to change the media companies, how we inform ourselves, how we share our experiences. And this is just the beginning. What a overwhelming and exciting world to come!

Visit my profile @ http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=ksalchner. Go and check it out yourself. Go and sign up and if you have any video clips - upload them. The world wants to see them and know about you :). I am certain it won't take long and this will become a platform for new artists to get attention or even for the big music studios to test drive new talent they found. I can't wait for it!
