you can be a star on YouTube
YouTube has changed the viewing habits of millions. Are you a part of the YouTube revolution?
I’ll admit that I watch videos on YouTube almost daily. You know how that works; your friends send you links, you want to see what Paris Hilton said about John McCain or what Barack Obama said about Paris Hilton. It never ends.
A new book, 15 Minutes of Fame - Becoming a Star in the YouTube Revolution (Alpha) by Frederick Levy claims to be a primer that will give you the chops that might make you a star on YouTube.
This book proposes ideas for the content that works best on YouTube and what to avoid. It provides instruction on uploading your videos from your cell phones and webcams. It even tries to help you to understand what Hollywood agents look for on YouTube that could lead to that big discovery: you on the tube.
I’m reading it now. Heady stuff indeed. I’m not positive that my 15 minutes hasn’t already passed but hey, I’m still learning. Are you?

You ask me this question just after I was informed by my computer that I didn’t have the correct version of Flash to see something. I went through the motions of downloading the proper version, but am still told that I don’t have the latest version of Flash - even though the Flash website says my computer has it! Yeah, I’m still learning!
