Official YouTube Blog: How Can the Internet Make the World a Better Place?
So share your questions and ideas on YouTube now! Visit the OECD's "Future of the Internet" channel and tell the world what you think by submitting a video to it.
Trying to remember what life was like before the Internet gets a little bit harder every day. How did I buy a plane ticket again? We wrote letters by hand and sent them in the mail, you say? What did I do when I needed driving directions?
The Internet has become a necessity in the daily lives of people all around the world, and on June 17 and 18, ministers from more than 40 countries will meet with global business leaders, technical experts, and academics in Seoul, Korea, at the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)'s meeting on the "Future of the Internet Economy." Here they will discuss how the World Wide Web can make the world a better place, and they want to hear from you.
Similar to YouTube's Davos Question framed around the World Economic Forum back in January, the OECD wants to give you the opportunity to ask questions and share your ideas with global leaders about the future of the Internet and how it can be used for good. The best videos will be shown during the meeting in Seoul, and responses from the ministers will be posted on YouTube during the event.
A brilliant question - is a brilliant question...why waste bandwidth. Perhaps some people may not want to be that elaborate. They want the question to be the center of attention, not the video image.......let's be flexible and practical so that this become a truly democratic collaboration!!!
I am having a real issue. I can't upload .wmv files. The file is, I swear, a .wmv file. It is even under 100 mb and definitely under 10 min. The first time, I used the single file uploader, and it told me the file was too large. Which is a lie because the file is only 58 mb. When I used the multi-uploader, it told me it was complete. I waited all day, over 12 hours, and it hasn't shown up on 'my videos' page. This is ridiculous!!! FIX!!!
before the internet i use to go outside what a waste of time!!! why aren't there thumbs up and down on these comments? i think there ought to be. my annotations dont work anymore, please help. wanted to post video with them.
when people villify me I am prevented from responding and strangely posts from only a few minutes ago which should be on the next page ..dissapear..

I don't know why I expected anything else...!
youtube = cowards I don't know why I expected anything else...!
That's good. Especially if it is an economic discussion. This is a cooperative effort? Maybe there is promise for me yet.
I am an artist with no digital camcorder. Will this help me?
I think youtube could make the world a better place by fixing this hanging/never loading problem that occurs on nearly every mac in our office. And all over the world.
How about actually doing something about the spam, hate speech and cyber-bullying? Maybe, I don't know, PERMANENTLY BAN THE PEOPLE WHO DO THIS.
