"People will pay for content if it is so unique they can't get it anywhere else, so fast they benefit from getting it before anyone else, or so related to their tribe that paying for it brings them closer to other people. We'll always be willing to pay for souvenirs of news, as well, things to go on a shelf or badges of honor to share."

"One of the most show-stopping presentations at this year's Personal Democracy Forum was undoubtedly Kansas State University Professor Michael Wesch's presentation entitled "The Machine is (Changing) Us: YouTube Culture and the Politics of Authenticity". The presentation was so moving and powerful that attendees were brought to tears over the power online video has given us to literally change lives and change our society."

"YouTube added a feature that could enable non-profits to easily raise money or call actions using video. The Call-To-Action Overlay creates a semi-transparent pop-up at the bottom of a Youtube video screen with a hyperlink to any external website. You could link to a donation page, your non-profit’s blog, a petition, or even a volunteer sign-up page."
