I read a small CNN.com article on YouTube.com's most viewed videos for 2009.
Would you be suprised if you knew Susan Boyle was the #1 winner?
Probably not. Her memorable video from Britain's Got Talent has been viewed over 120 million times. Not only is that amazing but this year (2009) has also been the biggest for online video according to YouTube.
Just like when we first discovered those dangerous site: MySpace and Facebook. YouTube was also part of that list. Teens ran these sites, everyone else was afraid. But for some reason it seems that everyone has converted and adjusted since 2004.

Susan Boyle is a perfect example of how far YouTube reaches people. She was already a star on Britain's Got Talent. Without YouTube, she would have only been known to Britain. YouTube is a brilliant site and has probably been the core foundation of ditching the television.

I agree. With the world going digital and Youtube being the face of watching videos, there might not be any TV soon.
ReplyDeleteI have to say when I first saw that video I was shocked just like Simon Cowel was and everyone else there that night. Look at her now she has the #1 selling record for the last month or so since he CD was released...unbelievable, I give her a lot of credit
