What have you done since 2005?

Food for thought: Youtube did not exist in 2004. I consider myself to be pretty young but even that was just yesterday for me. Courage Fail or any of the other 400+ videos on fail blog have me laughing at humanity and wondering how God watched this stuff all by himself until now. Two stats about youtube have jumped out at me in the last month. First, Youtube hit one billion videos downloaded in the month of July for the first time. Second, they recently broke the one billion videos watched per day mark.

One Billion per day. with a B. 24 hrs.

January 1st 2005 they had roughly 0,000,000,000,000 videos per day.

In late 2005 I was starting to think about getting a dance studio off the ground. I was 22 and thought I was pretty cool and a go getter. Today we have 182 "users", not exactly a billion but doing ok.

Lets say you did not have a blog in 2005, you would have been in the same shape as Youtube. Lets say you did not have strong online social community in 2005, you would have beaten youtube which had none. Let's say January 1st 2005 you were not even a senator in the United States, well now you are President and Nobel prize winner.

What have you done since 2005?

More importantly, what do you plan on doing by 2013, because just maybe the next President has not been in the national spotlight yet, just maybe there are a billion somethings waiting for you to give them an outlet.
