A story last week about a Cheshire teen who met his prom date via You Tube got me to thinking about whether I might become a YouTube star. The young woman, from Georgia, has become popular on YouTube by talking about fashion and makeup.
I do a daily video for MyRecordJournal on the top stories for the next day’s newspaper. I was surprised to learn we don’t offer it to YouTube. Apparently someone in the online department doesn’t think anyone would be interested. When I asked about the decision, an online employee pointed out to me that the young lady You-Tube star is 17 and since I am in my 40s (I am not!) I probably wouldn’t be a popular YouTube commodity.
Take a look at my daily video and let me know if you think it should be posted on YouTube. If not, what might I do differently to make the video more YouTube friendly?
I am open to suggestions. For example, maybe I should also talk about fashion. I don’t require makeup. But I could start using some. It doesn’t show in the video, but I do have bags under my eyes and a few wrinkles. I could sample creams for these problems and report on them instead of the news? Maybe the MyRecordJournal hierarchy would then put my video on YouTube.
Let me know what you think.

Ralph I think you should sing the news. Glee is very popular and I think the kids would watch. Or you could do your preview in costume, heck it works for Mayor Dickinson. Maybe you could do you update as a puppet show. Just some ideas.
Although currently I don't watch YouTube, I would become a regular viewer if you were to become a YouTube star. I think it would be highly entertaining and trend-setting.
I think both anonymous and Elizabeth are pulling my leg.
By the way, I have brought up the YouTube issue with online department several times since I wrote the blog and they continue to ignore and/or insult me.
Today when I asked about possibly appearing on YouTube, one of them actually said:
"Are you trying to get a prom date?"
