YouTube. Pretty much everyone knows what you're talking about when you mention YouTube. But does everyone really know how interactive it is? Every day thousands of videos are uploaded and shared via YouTube. People post their original music there, some people make short films, a lot of people simply make Video logs (it's called a vlog, yo!) about their daily lives. YouTube is a great way to interact with other members of an online community. Almost everyone and their mother has a YouTube account these days.
Some people have even made YouTube their sole source of income though YouTubes partnership program. Michael Buckley (known as whatthebuck on YouTube) quit his day job because "his online profits had greatly surpassed his salary as an administrative assistant for a music promotion company." Even celebrities like Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus, and Katy Perry have jumped on the YouTube train because of how easy it makes communicating with fans.
YouTube might just change the world, and if it doesn't it's at least making it a lot more fun for the time being.
