Youtube is one of my favorite products.

If you think of Youtube a couple of years ago it was as simple video platform. Now we host incredible content, you can watch live concerts or you can create playlist with your favs! You can share, comment, embed, advertise, create, upload and the list goes on and on.

And if you don’t believe me, just have a look at The Royal Channel.

The Royal Wedding YouTube

Here I am… waiting for my plane to get to the gate and board for my flight. Grab my laptop, headphones and… where’s my music??

Oh yeah, I forgot… I don’t have music anymore because I listen to everything online!
I desperately search for my Rogers stick while I’m checking all the available wi-fi connections.
Finally I connect. I prepare a quick playlist on YouTube and start working on the presentation I’ll be delivering when I get to my destination.

This happened to me 3 days ago. Isn’t is amazing? I used to have 26gb of music on my computer and now what? YouTube, Pandora, Grooveshark, Spotify…. they’re spoiling us!
And what about keeping all your music on the cloud if I can’t reach that cloud?

Fortunately I had my iPod but I experienced a couple of seconds of a “Noooo!!!!” feeling.
I’m Internetaholic. I think I should go to rehab…

It’s funny how this conversation started the other day.

I’m a sales person but working at Google it’s easy to make friends with engineers.
I was talking to one of my engineer friends about social relationships in the company and how different sales people are from engineers.

We both agreed. Yes, we are different.

The funniest part was when we got to touch the different ways of communicating through instant messaging.
He immediately said: I hate when people just say…

People: hello!
My friend: hi!
People: I have a quick question
My friend: yes
…..

He wanted the conversation to be:
People: hello, I have this issue and I need….
My friend: Oh yes!, we could….

I partially agreed on that practical approach but on the other hand I understand that people want to be friendly!
Saying hello and waiting for the other person to respond is the way to check that everyone is ready to have a conversation!

We couldn’t come to an end for this…
