Here are a collection of some cool youtube videos to view:



And for those who like the Transformers...



and for all our singstar fans out there




and you know what they say... no pain, no gain!



and finally for something that is remotely useful...

online videos are the new revolution

I was reading mediaexplosions blog tonight and came across some really interesting stats about online media:

• U.S. Internet users viewed 11.5 billion online videos during March, 2008, representing a 13% gain from February, 2008 and a 64% gain from March, 2007.
• 139 million U.S. Internet users watched an average of 83 videos per viewer in March, 2008.
• 73.7% of the total U.S. Internet audience viewed online video.
• 84.8 million viewers watched 4.3 billion videos on YouTube.com (50.4 videos per viewer).
• The average online video duration was 2.8 minutes.
• The average online video viewer watched 235 minutes of video.

So how are we 'Christians' using this new media form to share our story and the Good News with the world.

See below for a great random video:



The good news is that you don't need heaps of fancy equipment... just creativity and to have heaps of fun along the way.

How has your church or ministry used youtube and other online media?
I'd love your comments : )

To Godtube or not to Godtube

The world has been swept by the Youtube craze which allows anyone to post videos about just about anything. It has led to many people becoming 'world famous' with 1 000's of people viewing their videos each week.

By posting a video you can create a craze across our global village... some for good (like Bono's message on taking responsibility for the poor... and some that aren't so good (like the teens who record themselves boosting cars and beating up other kids, etc)

But there is set to be a new craze in the Christian community... Godtube. I first logged on when they had just 5 videos...
but I logged in just a week later and their have been over 900 video posts. Check out this amesome video

But here is my question... should we have a separate community... or should Christians focus on being salt in the 'world's' communities? Check out this video that tells us why Godtube is Stupid

So what do you think?

But before you make up your mind lets heed Proverbs 18:17 which says:

The first to present his case seems right,
till another comes forward and questions him.
