If you listen to any of the Billboard Top 100 songs over the past couple of years, you know who Katy Perry is.
She started out with her most controversial song, “I Kissed A Girl” and has been a superstar musician ever since.
One of the inspiring things about Katy is that many of her videos tell a great story about whatever the song is trying to convey.
Seven years ago, YouTube was born!
That was before tabbed browsing and Google Chrome.
Yeah.
Those where the days.
To commemorate the occasion, YouTube has posted a video, naturally:
When I think of people who make a YouTube video dancing to one of the Billboard top 10 songs, my mind instantly goes to teenagers or women who have some extra time on their hands.
What I don’t expect is college athletes.
That might be way this video has gone viral (7.5+ million) so quickly and will make you smile.
I have to admit that I was taken back by the sheer dedication of the college students, they committed to it. This must be the result of a long car ride at the end of the season because they are polished.
With iPhones, webcams, and cheaper video cameras as well as larger and larger online video communities, it should not come as a surprise that teens are doing and using a lot more video stuff online.
Teenagers are always on the front lines of using the latest technology and finding creative ways to personalize these tools. The fact that there are now several free and online video editing tools out there to help them create better products is only adding fuel to the fire.
With the release of Google+ Hangout On Air to everyone, ministries need to be taking note of how they can use this amazing tool!
For some people, this could be a game changer. Yet, with a new medium of communication, people need to come up with ways to use it. We have a few idea for you here, but we want to hear how you would use it too.
A common term around our home is,
“YouTube hates us.”
We now wait until YouTube videos are nearly completely buffered before playing videos. I’ve begun to think it happens because we’re International.
I guess not:
We’ve all wondered what the secret is to a viral video. Kevin Allocca who works for Google on YouTube has some ideas. This should help your videos, as you help spread the big idea that God wants to forgive us if we’ll let Him.
How could we spread that important idea? I wonder if there’s something to how the guy on the bicycle spread his idea that could help us. Notice that he didn’t make a spoof video to do it; it was an original idea.
Watch:
This is a South American weed frog that ended up in Ireland somehow.
But that doesn’t have anything to do with the post.
Hit play and follow the keypad sequence for you to make this frog sing the Star Wars Imperial March:
In the 150 years, America and the world have come a long way, gaining new ground over science, math, and the world. Inventors, dreamers, and scientists have been able to completely change how we live life, work, and enjoy ourselves.
But there has been a new revolution since the Industrial Revolution that is now impacting us more than before: the Internet, social media, and ecommerce.
These concepts have shrank the world we live in, forever changed how we communicate and do business, and brought out both good and bad qualities within ourselves.
Have you tried The Artistifier?
The concept is simple. The concept is fun. The concept is awesome!
You can take just about any YouTube video and turn it into an award-winning classic ;-)
