We received this video via email from a user and I'mpretty sure it hit the homepage the next day. My favorite scene is a toss-up between when they are dancing on top of the Goodwill building and when they are dancing on the billboards. Excellent way to turn your small townboredom into something unique, productive and well…big. Nice job, guys.color=navy>

Ourears were sent tingling by the playing of href="http://youtube.com/user/DukeRightious" target="_blank">style='color:windowtext'>DukeRightious when we heard his"color=black>C minor Etude". This original composition evoked emotion and was a perfect way to start theday. Duke actually emailed us himself to nominate his videoand when I reviewed it, I knew it had to find its place on the homepage. He's got some othergreat material as well; I'd recommend checking out his short version of href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_i3fQ2yQpA" target="_blank">color=black>"Things".

Thegreat thing about a holiday like Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is that it not only inspires progressive thought but also (hopefully) progressive action (hint hint… make your video response,like this color=black>one). color=black>Daniel Stringerbrought a strong target="_blank">messageto YouTube. What's your dream?
Thereis a great story behind target="_blank">DrawingYouTube. target="_blank">Marcoseijicontacted our video target="_blank">Czarinastyle='color:windowtext'>Mia about his channel. It wasa simple message that said he felt his channel could make a lot of YouTube users happy. When Mia checked it out, she was in awe and asked Marco to make a compilation video for a possible feature. This all happened yesterday within about three hours (despite the Brazil-San Francisco time difference) and the video made it to the homepage the same day.
Keep on Tubin',
