Welcome Tom
Our Guest today is Tom Guarriello who aptly is deeply involved in the YouTube world. Here are a remarkable trio of clips showing the power of Video as realized by YouTube to build community. We start with YouTube's senior member who is 80 making his first video - over 2,700,000 views! We see how this novel event is taken up by a star of the YouTube system and then how it builds further.
Tom's selection has been a revelation for Johnnie and I - we had no idea how powerful video can be - Johnnie described the power as being "Human Bandwidth". Tom's selection and Podcast tells me that personal video may become the most powerful influence on the web.
What might this mean I think local TV?
Here's the podcast: 3 Tom Guarriello’s Phoric
Tom expands on his ideas here in an early video of his own: The Power of the Banal!
Thank you Tom for a great show.
Tom's comments, about past, present, and future, are all right on point. Great podcast.

Seesmic is also a video app that you could describe as human bandwith, as it is basically specifically meant for videoblogging personal items (and not so much other types of video movies)
Great initiative guys!

Fully appreciated the honest reflection on YouTube, civility and safety.
Misuse does not argue for non-use, it argues for correct use.
It will take time to discover how to promote correct use but I am confident that with pioneers like Tom we will get there.
Thanks for creating this new venue!
Keep creating...a daring adventure,
Mike
