Tom Guarriello got accepted to give a 12-minute TED-U talk on video blogging with YouTube. He's asking viewers what key points he should cover to convince an audience of CEOs and students to start making videos themselves.
Hey guys, it's Tom Guarriello. Every year for the last 8 years or so, I've gone to a conference that I really enjoy, a conference called the TED conference. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, and Design, and I'll put a link to the TED website in the description. It's a terrific conference. There are amazing speakers and really, really terrific people attending the conference, and it's always a very stimulating event every year. Last year, for the first time, there was something called the TED University, TED U, in which attendees got to present little short 12-minute presentations about anything that they wanted to. Present about to fellow attendees. And so this year the call went out for volunteers for TED-U, and I volunteered to do a session on video blogging with YouTube, and that was accepted as one of the TED-U sessions. So I'm going to be presenting this session at TED, which takes place starting, I think, on on March 7th. So the question I have for you today, I'm writing my presentation, my little 12-minute presentation about why people— now these are, I would probably, I would venture to say that most of the people who have been, who are going to be in these sessions have most likely seen videos on YouTube and I'm going to venture to say most of them have not posted videos on YouTube. Now, these are people who, you know, they range all the way from, you know, the CEOs of very famous companies to, um, you know, just really interesting students. And a lot of— I mean, there are a lot of very interesting people at the TED Conference. So the question that I have for you today is, if you had 12 minutes to tell people why they should use YouTube to video blog, what would you say to them? What would be the key points that you would want to be sure that people understood about the value of being a video blogger on YouTube? So that's the question that I'm thinking about, and I, you know, you know how I am when I think about questions, I put them out there for for you guys to think about. So what do you think? What would you say to people about why you should begin video blogging on YouTube? So take care and I'll see you again soon. Bye.
