This is definitely an improved changed, but do we really need a “Christian” Youtube?
I was one of the ones who originally laughed and cringed at it, but I have been thinking about it? Why not?

I don’t really have a problem with it as long as they market it as a site to view Christian themed videos. A one-stop shop if you’re looking for just the right video to play during a church service or to embed into your blog to offer a little inspiration to your readers. And that seems to be the direction they’re going with at first glance. What do you think?

Here is a promo video that explains the new name and vision:

There is a lot of controversy over the overuse of the popular music studio plugin known as Auto-tune. If the name doesn’t sound familiar watch this video to hear the sound. You’ll immediately think of 20 songs that use it. Hat Tip: Digg http://tinyurl.com/cq9xlg

He was letting all of us know about his new book of poetry and art and about the redesign of his website.

I couldn’t help but think about how easy simple it is for niche markets and interests to come together and build a community. Being a poet and a poetry podcaster these last two years I discovered how tight our community is. Those of you who have no interest in poetry are oblivious to this…and that’s ok.

Social media is about discovering and getting involved with what interests you and your group of friends, artists, etc. Its about building your niche community online and offline and connecting with others who have yet to join, but are looking for that connection.

Thank you, Marcus, for reminding me of this. Check out this video of Marcus performing his poem “Jazz”, and…oh…buy his book!
