I love YouTube. Not because of all the worthless, unentertaining drivel posted there, but for the technology that allows a person to create something interesting, timely and worthwhile and publish it--immediately.
Saturday night, I shot some interviews with some young people attending the Global Night Commute in support of Invisible Children, an organization led by American youth seeking to help Uganda's youth. (See the video here.)
The filming took about 30 minutes at 10:00 PM. Editing took about an hour. By 1:00 AM the film was uploaded and playing on YouTube. No satellite uplink, no sound stage, no production crew.
YouTube may not be the leading consumer driven video site in a few years or even a few months, but the innovation it leads will change the web. Soon.
Only to make the point that things are moving quickly, I share a video clip posted by venture capitalist Fred Wilson:
