And I'll be sure to answer them in one of my Youtube videos or here on this Livejournal. So please keep watching or reading... and I'm sure I'll answer any questions you might have.
Please go to my "intro" tag to get a better understanding of this Livejournal OR go to My Youtube Channel's Introductions Playlist to get a better idea on the topics I will cover and of how I will conduct my channel.
Below is an important list (also under the "intro" tag) I would like you to read, in order to understand my Livejournal:
Why I started my Livejournal? (aka "Let's just start this thing") Please bare in mind I explain over multiple posts.
Things I will like you to keep in mind.
Post to all of my Blog's table of contents (aka "What you can expect from this blog") ie. All of the posts I have ever written for this blog.
(or you can start from the very beginning by clicking here, scroll down for the earliest post. Or alternatively, click on the "Table of Contents" tag, to get a quick overview on what I have written.)

Below is all of the Playlists (and the subsequent videos in that Playlists) on My Youtube Channel :
Separated and organized into sub-categories (with related LJ post) so that navigating this blog can be more user-friendly.
**NOTE: To all of you LiveJournal blog newbies, below is where the most recent entry is posted. . . .
I will take the advice of the Google employee and try this out by replying in a forum. I asked him if Youtube takes any suggestions, like what if someone had an idea that Youtube could use, where would I go to tell them? He said, "they read the forums..."
Well, since I don't know where else to go, and I know Youtube does ask for feedback, it's a good place to start as any... so we'll start here for now, if it fails, we'll see how to better do this later.
Now what do I say to convince them? . . . .( Read more... )
(It's now May 17th, started this around April 12th, after I posted my latest video)
Spent more than a month on trying to figure out how to prove the best context, where Youtube would read my post and go "hmm, let's hear her out, and provide the meeting she is asking for. Let is what she has to say?"
And I'm at a roadblock, I still can't find the right words, the right phrases, where to start, the best way to convince them, to instantly get them to see what I'm trying to get at, the minute they start reading my post. This must be the wrong way to go about things, maybe trying to tell them EVERYTHING up front, will make them more confused, than instantly get me.
I might just have to find a different opening/ Or a different way to get my foot in the door. . . Guess I'm gonna have to spend more time thinking....
- Mood:
mentally empty
Time to re-access and change gears. Coming back from Arizona to SF, and into this new house, I don't think I can do this anymore. I thought there was still some kind of possibility of still continuing to do videos. But doing my most recent video above, I don't think that's going to be possible. This house is not a great place to make videos.
Honestly, 6 years down, after I 1st came to SF, and I think I'm just tired. I'm actually over it, I'm way over it, I'm so over it, I can't do this anymore. I want a change. I honestly think I'm stagnating. 6 years down, and I have gotten all that I can get from this endeavor. I'm starting to repeat and I can feel it. I definitely need a change.
My mom will never change and so there's no hope for things to get better. Her lifestyle is not mine and vice versa. I'm starting to have a hard time doing anything and inspiration is... Nothing seems to work, I keep feeling really empty. And no matter what I do, this doesn't change. This seems to be a reoccurring conversation, isn't?
That's why I need to STOP baring through the conditions of my environment and instead leave. I NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE! So instead of doing more video until I can get the google/youtube job. I need the job 1st.
I desperately need the inspiration, and there's nothing to get here. I need to surround myself with people that want something out of there lives, instead of just passing it day by day, existing. I really can't do this anymore. I really do not want to anymore. Every year passes, while nothing changes. I want this to stop being so hard. Chasing after dreams should not be this hard. Bare knuckling through, until you get were you want to go, is NOT the way this should be. I'm tired of having this repeat so much. Every time things get better, it's only a matter of time before it isn't again.
So things needs to change. I am going to try to figure out how to get the Youtube job as my next step, instead of just waiting for things to happen. These videos are not my ticket out. I think I've done enough of them for them to speak for themselves now, doing more is just extra that by now, I think if the videos already there won't prove anything to them, doing more won't change that.
Let's see if a change of pace, a change of venue, a change of just something will make me feel better. Because I know that this right now, is not working. I need something different and new to get me motivated again. And see if my effort is actually proving to go anywhere, instead of seeing things not changing.
I need to stop getting on this perpetual research phase of things and start doing... 1st step, the Youtube job needs to done. I won't be able to progress on my list of goals, if I don't get it soon. Hopeful I can make it happen.

The below conversation needs to be shared, because what went down with this Youtube commenter was CRAaaaaaaaaaAZY!
It was so crazy, it happened over daaaays, this is how much this kid would NOT let it go, and then I kept replying (expanding the conversation) because I wasn't going to let this kid think spamming my inbox was something that was Ok.
& I'll be damned if I was going to let someone think they can bully me into silence.
Sometimes the best way to deal with a hater, is to ignore them.... and sometimes.. the best way to deal with a hater, is by taking them to task and calling them out on their B*llSh*t!
Thinking he can vent his frustrations on life out on me, when KID, YOU DON'T KNOW ME! So don't think you can bully me into thinking, I'm doing anything wrong!
Evil Exist when good people do nothing. and I ABSOLUTELY REFUSE, to let you think I have no right to tell truth.

Subject: I CHALLENGE YOU!
Saw your comment on my profile only now (through my email box), so will reply back to you by personal messaging, I haven't a clue how to reply back otherwise.... Youtube & their new changes... confusing.
Yes, you are right, my parents did a crappy job in bringing me up, and I have spent the last 10 years of my life trying to heal the damage.
But your assumption of "You looked very young so the damage can be recovered." is a naive POV... I never want to get married, I never want to have children, and I still want to die at 50.... Yes, that might be the stupidity of the young saying things You of an older age might think petulantly crazy, but this is the damage, no amount of time will ever heal.
My parents never made me care, they never gave me heart, they never showed me love. And the BIGGEST thing I HATE in life is lying, so I will not lie to you and tell you that I'm not bitter enough about this to want to "forgive" my parents and live a "normal, happy, good" life and change the goals I want out of MY life, just so I can be like everyone else and not have people think me crazy.
Like you, it took me the time when I went to college before I ever STARTED learning how to live in the Real world and gained the skills on how to navigate through it. So Sinnielee, you too should know how much of a difficult task it is to want to change your life and yet you were only given it only AFTER you left the influence of your parents' control.
I am in America, where I get the choice to live my own life... but back in China, I know that would have never been an option. I have cried many a HUGE tears choosing to want to live my life while knowing fully well that I was going against my parent's wishes, And my bravery only came bcuz America TOLD me that I was not a bad person for CHOOSING my own type of happiness. THIS type of culture stems from deep seeded control hundreds of years in the making. The communist and the cultural revolution might have exasperated it, but China has ALWAYS been this way.
Parents OWN their children, we are their "retirement plan," we are to respect them, we are here to listen and obey them. We are to think them wise, knowledgeable, and know that they do this out of love and the well being of their children.
BUT I know that is a LIE, bcuz I have met way too many people who suffer from unhappiness and stagnation their parents put upon them thinking that was the "best" for their children.
Sinnielee, I CHALLENGE you to PROVE. ME. WRONG! Upload a video and tell me how much you think I AM WRONG. And I will respond. You seem to have much to say about this subject, so do what so many of the comments on my video didn't do and Show Your Face, Prove how stupid, naive, ignorant, and DEAD wrong I am to think the way that I do.
Good Luck :)

And then this is when sh*t started to get crazy:
(Screenshot of my Youtube Personal Messages Inbox)
See how long this conversation lasted? And this is only my side of the responses. As you can see from the above, the conversation below happened over 3(!) days.
Read below how ridiculous this hater got:
Notes: In purple, is sinnieleeonUtube's comments, who I will refer to as Sid. In green is my comments and in blue is my additional commentary comments. The conversation speaks for itself, but since this event doesn't happen very often, to provide context, I have more to say. In blue, is what I was really thinking and how I was reading his replies.
To all you haters that think you can take me on. . . This is my warning: I Back Down From No Fight.
2nd note, I can't guarantee that the rest of this post will make sense to you. This post was mostly to show how much I was utter OFFENDED by how much a person can believe in their own stupidity. And then blame me for it.
This was aaaaaaalllll So insulting. I really can't deal with Stupid people. I just can't.
........
( Read the complete inane INSANITY! )
Lest sum up, because this sh*t made me soooooo mad, we need to talk about this. This Bullsh*t was so f'ing egregious, I'm disappointed that I'm not articulate enough to make this more coherent. I wish I had the wit to explain this better. But either way, here goes... but know this is more for me to get this off my chest than for you to read. . .
He's so the guy that got he's feelings hurt and then won't admit it, but instead starts hating the world, blaming other people, instead of looking in the mirror and seeing it's he who's the problem. I'm mostly mad that some random idiot thought he had any right to attack my character, my motives, and plain outright judge me with NO Right! None, Who the F does this guy think he is? I can't tell you how mad I got over this. This happened back in January and then I took a month to cool off, but this being March should tell you how mad I'm still about this. I feel wronged, and Insulted by the Stupidity of this kid, the audacity to NOT. Let. *sh. GO! and how he kept attacking me, for I know, has nothing to do with me.
He comforted himself in how many ninja mind tricks he used to think what he had to say to me, wasn't completely OFFENSIVE. It was so Blatantly Disrespectful. How dare he use Alexandra Wallace to go and judge me.
He has absolutely NO idea of who I am, NONE. How dare he lump me with every other girl that ever did wrong by him. And I'm guessing he provoked it, basing on this Crazy exchange.
But mostly I'm completely and utterly mad over how much hate he was perpetuating in this world. How much he was trying to silence me from speaking truth. I criticize China because they deserve it! And just because you don't want to talk about it, doesn't me I don't.
I'm going to talk about this, and there is nothing you can do to stop me. Because we are only as sick as our secrets. So let the truth set you free.
aka "guy that won't let it go"
OR "guy that won't let it go w/girl problems"
who then is "guy that won't let it go and still won't show his face, but keeps trolling my inbox...."
What a coward. Prove me wrong instead of attacking my video you CLEARLY didn't fully watch, nor understand.
I am so OFFENDED by people like you. You are the type of people that is part of the culture that holds China back.
You grudge filled, victim playing, pity party, dumb sh*t. And that's who you are, your actions shows that's who you are.
STOP blaming me for your problems.
DUDE, I have NOTHING to do with your life, why won't you get that? People that you don't agree with have nothing to do with your life, so why do you let them affect you? Why do you give yourself every excuse to never change your life, instead of standing up to people that misunderstand you?
I AM NOT the person you need to be mad at! I AM NOT the person that holds you down. I AM NOT the person that made you weak.
It's you, Sid, You're the one that took all the negativity in your life and believed them, instead of Proving. Them. Wrong.
Sid, we will see what kind a life a person lives and how that allows them to win, I Back Down From No Fight. So don't think you can foolishly tell me I had no right to tell truth.
....
How I criticize China?
Your just mad that it's true. And then that an Asian like me, conformed that it was. Acknowledge that the problems non-Asians know about us, actually do exist. And that some of their assumptions about us actually are true.
I don't think China will ever beat America, And I meant what I said about how the culture holds them back. Everyone is so focused on the Chinese Economy, while I focused on the culture because I know that's the real indicator to China's future. I don't get influenced by hype, I look at facts. And I don't think China's people can achieve the economic grow, people that are threaten by China's growing power, keep saying they will.
China's future is not based on their economy, it's based on their culture and that's their people, and I don't think their people dream enough to beat America, because the Chinese culture won't let them.
Now that I have spelled all it out for you, because apparently my video was so vague that you weren't smart enough to read into it, that YES, I meant every word I had to say in that video. And the other videos you watched should have showed you what in the Chinese culture I thought prevented them from dreaming.
But your ego and pride won't allow you to admit that you are wrong. Or how watching more of my videos, you got how much you judged me wrong and I wasn't the person to thought me to be, you kept refusing to apologize, the last thing you said to me was not an apology, it was your excuse to justify your hateful words towards me. Don't think your last line erases all that you said to me, because there's no taking that back. Don't think you can throw shade at me and not know that's what you were doing. You showed your true face, and that face was ugly. Your not going to Ninja mind trick me into thinking otherwise. Dude, I see through all your BS and all you are is Hater that trolled my channel.
Dude, get a life, and stop spreading more hate in this world. You are so one of those people in the culture that holds Asians back. You feed so much into the negativity, you don't tell truth to power, to just go along with what they have to say. You won't lay down your life to fight what's right, you'll just complain about how you didn't get what you wanted.
America is the only country that let's me dream, and I believe that. It's because they were the ones that taught me to speak truth and make no apologies for it, while Asians like you always kept wanting me to keep lying. I will fulfill the American dream that tells me I can be anything that I want to be, because American gives me the opportunity to. And I will be an example of those people that did everything to deserve that right. Sid, you won't succeed because you waste time complaining, instead of rising above the tide. You go and get washed out by the raging tide, I'll know to just fight that much hard to prove them wrong.

Haters are going to hate, and that's just the way of the internet. When you put yourself out there, get ready for the backlash. This is a post of all the hate I have received from doing my Youtube channel, but especially from doing my "America, China Will Never Beat You." Read the comment section to see for yourself. All excepts below are from that page. This post is to show you what you will be up against when you try to change the status quo. People either will tear you down or you will be misunderstood for it.
( Haters gonna Hate. )
It's funny how I thought that my video was going to offend white people the most, specifically when I said, "white people (the media) stop telling my stories." The below comment from a 27 y.o. American shows this reaction:
( But don't let them get to you. )
- Mood:
Bring it
To vent and assess what I needed to learn, ultimately that's what I'm always trying to figure out. And sometimes it takes me a while to get to the point and/or find it. . .
So what's this post for and about? I have a few more things that I wanted to include in my last post, but couldn't shoehorn it in without making it messy. So that's why I decided to cut the tangents and put it in this post instead.
This is take 2:
Start of a new year and it's time to set new goals.
Before I can set my sight on the new year, and move onto this new cycle, let's recount these last 9 years.
So what have I learned? What are the things that in these last-long-arduous years I've experienced, do I need to remember, so that the next few won't be just as painful.
But 1st let's start with a little song. . .
Kelly Clarkson - Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)
"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
Stand a little taller.
...
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter.
Footsteps even lighter."
Source: http://www.directlyrics.com/kelly-clarkson-what-doesnt-kill-you-l
Kelly summed it up better than I could. That the last 9 years was for the experience. It made me Stronger.
I want to stop numbing, I need to stop fearing life, and all I want to do is heal. 9 years of trying to figure myself out, 10 of trying to heal my soul. That is what of come to know about myself. I have to get over my fear of failure. Because if I don't overcome that obstacle, I'll never succeed and all I'll keep doing is be miserable. Challenge life, take the risk, test my limits to know that there really isn't any, because if I fail, I can always try again. Again and again, until I succeed. "Get Over Fear and Failure." And that's the only way to succeed. You try again.
You are only as sick as your secrets (Dr. Drew), let the truth set you free (Jesus), and I only know what I know because I wrote it down (JK Rowling, Oprah interview). The above is the summation, the rest of this post is me rambling about what those 3 phrase taught me.
Let life challenge you, because it's going to regardless, so might as well do it on your own terms.
( rambling. . . )

But 1st, what do I mean by the #9? Now that, has everything to do with numerology. Below is a short overview of what I'm referring to:
http://www.astrology-numerology.com/num-
- Breaks down all personal year numbers from 1- 9.
- Read the very last paragraph. Speaks specifically about the transition from 9 to 1 personal year.
Read to understand what I mean, numerology is too large a subject for me to nicely sum it up, so know that I mostly do this post for me and only me. This will be another one of my talking to myself post.
. . . And now onto the reflections, ( Read more... )
So this wasn't going to be anything new, this instead was going to happen like before, but this time around, it was going to happen on MY terms. Instead of me being forced into uncomfortable, Painful situations, where I constantly found myself in dead-end corners... This time around, I was going to do it willing and with an open mind. I was going to STOP(!) wasting time.
This was a test. It was going to be like China, where the tougher your life was going to get, the more it was going to be bearable, if you did it with a friend. ( Read more... )
. . . This was going to make me prove how much I wanted it. This was going to be like Las Vegas. Arizona was going to be similar to Las Vegas in that it was going to test my endurance, my tolerance. In a word: Heat. ( Read more... )
. . . This was going to be a test run and additional confirmation. This was going to be like Washington. How much was I willing to give up the luxuries of relaxation to focus on work. How much was I willing to give up tv, distractions, napping, blog reading, researching... but ultimately all time wasters. Because starting this year, time is something I can not waste anymore. This year, I have to concentrate more than any other year before, because for this year... If I do not get the Google job, and if I do not get it SOON, then that messes up my timeline and my 25 year plan, the one that I have laid out for the rest of my life.
I have to achieve something this year, ( Read more... )I want to stop the waiting. I just want to see the finish product.
This is the Goal I'm going to be working on for this year. Seeing fruition... finish product. I want to see accomplishment. No more dreams, but actual product. Google Job, this year you will be my goal. And I promise to work my best to attain you.

Simplified Chinese used is used in Mainland China.

What's the main difference between the two form of writing? Simplified Chinese uses/ has less strokes to write and memorize.

"All Chinese characters are logograms, but there are several derivative types. These include a handful which derive from pictograms (象形 pinyin: xiàngxíng) and a number which are ideographic (指事 zhǐshì) in origin, but the vast majority originated as phono-semantic compounds (形聲 xíngshēng)."
Pictograms: "Roughly 600 Chinese characters are pictograms (象形 xiàng xíng, "form imitation") — stylised drawings of the objects they represent. These are generally among the oldest characters."

What was the information that I needed?
I needed:
1. The who = the youtuber and their name.
2. The what = the title of the video.
3. The when = what time it was posted.
4. and the youtube address with embedding code.
This is to show you that sometimes doing these post, it's VERY time consuming. A LOT of information needs to be collected. If you want to do things proper, it requires a lot of work.
This is the RAW info that I had to collect, before I even started on the actual post.

( Watch some videos.... )
And this whole long conversation / opinions is why I think Youtube can do better and how they aren't going for greatness, that I think I can help them with this issue.
- Mood: blah
3 months ago, I saw Ddonq and gunnarolla talk about their feelings and what they think about Youtube. And since I'm trying to get a Google job, with my objective of trying to help Youtube be GREAT, I saw how I wasn't alone in thinking that Youtube just isn't the same anymore.
Watch both of their videos below:
( Watch Ddonq and Gunnarolla's vid.s )
In the long run, when your business is built on people doing videos.... how in the end, will you be successful, if the same people don't want to do videos anymore?
And if you see this and your response is to be like a video site for the computer, since you have the Movies / TV section, then don't you know that you're missing a HUGE opportunity to cultivate a great creative resource.
Youtube, I want to show you how much you are lacking vision, and problem solving this whole monetization / copy right infringement issue the wrong way.
You don't play by the rules of the past, or bend to the will of Corporations, you prove them wrong and help them step into the New Age of Technology. By showing them the potential they aren't using.
Help People Dream!
And focus your energies on having heart, that's people... and not on money, which is soulless.
Youtube, do you want to be known for cats, silly videos, and copy right infringement material OR do you want to want to step up your game and concentrate on your brand? . . . How much do you want to be Great!?
That's why you need to cultivate your community, and I'm here to prove it to you.
Be known for a service that allows people to achieve dreams, and that's how Youtube you'll be GREAT!
Over the years, I think you've forgotten how to be great. I've seen you aim for monetization, because at the end of the day, I understand that you are a business. But I think you can do it better. How? By remembering the Youtube Community. Because without them, Youtube, you're nothing. So I do this post to let you understand what some of the Community thinks of you.
So I want to end with this, I would like to highlight something that you might already know.
Youtube, You posted the question "How can we improve the YouTube Community?"
( Read the comment... )
Coming here reinforced to me how much I was in my own little 'community' on YouTube, as so much goes on here that I never come across, just as happens in the real world. But at the moment that element is dead."
Youtube can you see the element that made you great? sunni said it better than I can. That I use to come to Youtube because I was able to find people like me, hanging out together. And if you take that away, I have little incentive to hang around Youtube. I can spend my time elsewhere.
Google, don't you understand that this is called "SOCIAL NETWORKING?" And once you took over Youtube, you took / are taking that away. Stop wasting time on Google +, because Youtube use to be this and had the potential to beat FaceBook, but you never ended up cultivating it. It almost seems like you are killing it.
But Google, it's not too late and we all make mistakes. You can have both the social aspects and the revenue, if only you cultivate the Youtube community in the right way. I can help you beat FaceBook, And I'm telling you that you can do it by using Youtube.
Exactly how? I'll tell you over time in my Google / Youtube Playlist. (Because it's gonna be a VERY long conversation, which a meeting would help fix, Google.)
But know that as for myself, I Want to Help Make Youtube Be Great! Because My life's goal is to help poor people dream (through teaching and education), & to tell azns that you suffer from trauma and that's why you never chose to dream or you always fail when you want to try. So you need to heal from the trauma for you to ever get the chance to do great things in your life.
I want to change the world.
I want to be the person I never had growing up.
I want to help poor people dream, and help Azns get over trauma.
And Youtube I want to prove to you that My goals for my life can be achieved by using Youtube. I want to prove to you that you can do great things, you just have to remember what made you great and I can help you out by you helping me out and together we can achieve ExtraOrdinary things. Youtube, you just have to remember that people change the world, it's your community that made you great. It was never the technology.

Ready for Battle
Google, You don't beat Facebook by doing the exact or similar things like Facebook, you beat them by being you, "Do you, Google." And you do you, by focusing on Youtube. Youtube has it's own community, it's own loyal viewers and users. Why are you starting from scratch starting endeavors that some other company already mastered? I mean you'll lose, you don't beat them by beating them at their own game, they already got the headstart for you to ever catch up... you beat them by being different.
Google, you don't need to feel threatened by Facebook.... WHY? because you have Youtube, that's how you will beat Facebook. I literally don't understand why you bought Youtube, and then decided to let Youtube do their own thing and then you focus your efforts on Google+, GoogleWave, and GoogleBuzz, when you already have Youtube...
I think Google, you don't believe in Youtube because, as of now it's mostly known for cats and silly videos. But if people like Salman Khan (of khanacademy.org / read what I had to say about him, here) is any indication, Youtube can be used for SO MANY better purposes then what you think it can be use for right now.
So my mission statement to you Google is this: Youtube, I want to help you be great by showing you the potential you aren't using, the ability to tell a unique story, a personal one. I will prove to you how much there's more to you than what you are presently using yourself for. You got it right the 1st time. Your tagline of "Broadcast Yourself." had the implied meaning that you were helping people with their dreams, but once you focused on monetization, you forgot what made you great. People, Youtube, it was the people that made you great, it wasn't the technology.
Google you might think that getting into the Facebook game is an opportunity to provide an alternative to the people that are getting annoyed by Facebook, like the below video shows:

On how Facebook keeps changing and annoying people with their supposed "improvements." But Google while you are expanding your energies on beating Facebook at their own game, don't you know that you're missing better opportunities?
Youtube can represent dreams if you want it to, something Facebook falls short on. Facebook is more about connecting with people. And that's why it's hard to make money on that. But dreams, Google, dreams can be very profitable, as long as know how to help dreams come true.
At the end, it's all about Revenue. And Google, you already beat Facebook on that.
Taken from: Wikipedia
"Facebook generally has a lower clickthrough rate (CTR) for advertisements than most major websites. Banner advertisements on Facebook have generally received one-fifth the number of clicks compared to those on the Web as a whole. This means that a smaller percentage of Facebook's users click on advertisements than many other large websites. For example, while Google users click on the first advertisement for search results an average of 8% of the time (80,000 clicks for every one million searches), Facebook's users click on advertisements an average of 0.04% of the time (400 clicks for every one million pages)."
So I don't understand why you're scared (or even threaten) by them, when you're the one that's more successful. Facebook gets more hype, yes, but that's all it is... What they use with all that hype, falls significantly short to what their potential could be used for.
Google, if you really want to beat Facebook, then focus on Youtube. And stop defusing your energies on a "new social networking site" NO ONE needs to have. It's already annoying enough to have all these usernames and passwords to different and a lot of site, I'm not going to use a different version of Facebook, when there's already a Facebook. Google you HAVE to do something DIFFERENT. And not the same thing with only your take on it. NO ONE needs that.
But we all could use a better version of Youtube. Google, with Youtube, you have something Facebook doesn't have. It's not about collecting random data, Youtube can give you Exact and Engaged data. Let people tell you exactly what they want from your site, and more than any random people, Youtube people will care enough to do the time consuming task of editing a video to tell you it.
And if you don't think that's more valuable than analyzing pages of comments giving their uninformed opinion, then that's why I'm here to tell you of the potential you don't know you have (in your hands). You just don't know how to use it yet. The future is Youtube, it's not going to be Facebook.
So Google, I REPEAT: Why are you trying to have a Facebook? Focus on Youtube and you'll have your social network.
For the rest of my Google / Youtube Series this is what I will try to prove to you.
But as for now, if you don't believe me, know that I say all of this because I've done my homework. (Note: Below is all the backstory and "behind the scene" information that I based the video that's at the top, on. And some links are only examples of what I noticed about you Google.)....
