I don't know how many of you also post videos to YouTube.
It's an interesting way to share events with friends and family. Mine are mostly about my community or feature a certain waggy tailed black and white dog. So of limited general interest. Outside the 'stream mine have only been viewed by one or two other sad souls who wandered in unaware. Usually my videos only get seen by about 20-30 people.
Although when one memorable video got over 100 hits, delusions of grandeur sored through my brain!
Until I realized what a far cry that is from the popular YouTube videos that get viewed by tens of thousands, and in some cases by millions.
Happily that level of popularity has never been my ambition and a lot of those popular videos seem to be of teenage girls making off the top of their head observations about life.
Still there are also some brilliant videos out there produced by some very talented people (Mouse, Misty, Major Danes and Souls Denounce come to mind) and this year the major YouTube Gathering is being held right here in Toronto at the Toronto Science Centre.
If anyone is posting to YouTube and planning to attend on the 8th of the 8th 08, you can find out more about it
HEREand even get free tickets.
Linda and I are planning to go and I'm trying to persuade my brother and his wife to come as well.
I was unaware that some of our streamers were famous Youtube creators. I will have to go and look for them

Those that I know of can be found in the subscription section of my YouTube page at: http://www.youtube.com/user/anexplor
I have to agree with you. YouTube is an amazing resource. Pick a topic, any topic, and there will be a video on YouTube (and maybe 10)
Need to get a camera that will do this.
And you keep mispelling center.
It's a totally different way to appreciate parts of the world,
personal views, and creative sparks.
I have to go over and see your rain vid.
Each time I log in, the site lets me know you
have another vid for me to view.
Love that.
I will also agree that it weirds-me-out to have my vids viewed
at some number that seems too high to be real Because of that
I set all the "reply comments"
and "rate-my-vid" settings
to "ixnay on the comments-ay."
Just easier that way.
The youtube.com conference sounds AWESOME!
I can't wait to see what you discover there!
Yep, Sinann, I do. And I misspell "favourite", "honour", "theatre" and a host of other words as well. It causes spell check to go into overdrive and it threaten to collapse from nervous exhaustion.
They insist on teaching us the English spelling of words here in Canada. And we pronounce the last letter of the alphabet "Zed"
Strange people we are.
I picture people clicking on it and going "What?"
