YouTube… the good submitters

Posted by MrPowers under IPTV, Internet, People, Technology

It isn’t very often that I see somebody talented and make good use of the miracle that is YouTube. There is so much nonsense out there with a crap ton of videos taken from less than impressive camera phones…. like my LG U8110. There are times when I wish we could remove such things or at least put more restrictions on…. but them I am forgetting the freedom to upload and share any video you want is what makes YouTube so great!! Even if its a simple 20 second video you just want a friend to see, YouTube a great way of sharing it. Perhaps I don’t like a lot of the content thats there, but its not like I am being forced to watch anything on it.

However there are few out there that I have found, that create and share something really wonderful with people.

Sumfight (a.k.a. Cody Rapol)

The first is Cody Rapol(sumfight at gmail dot com) creator of sumfight.com. Here is somebody that really has a passion for creating entertaining videos and sharing them with friends and who ever else may be interested. One of the best things is that this is all his own work - OMG at production quality.

This particular video is called YAQMA: May 2008, where Cody answers user submitted questions in his usual half hearted manner. You won’t find more wierd questions anywhere else to be honest! However Cody answers them pretty damn well. As well as YAQMA he covers a great many topics and is always entertaining.

You can follow his updates be either go to his YouTube channel and clicking the Subscribe button, or subscribe to his blog’s RSS feed.

Some of my other fav’s of his are How Do You Want That, Nice Vagina Pants Bro, and the video that could not be more true: Anti Movie Piracy - man does that one hit home for me!!

At the moments I am also loving the videos entitled “Totally Random”…. as thats exactly what they are. Cody is also one of the top most subsricbed to Comedians on YouTube.  Also don’t forget to buy a shirt! - http://www.sumfight.com/shop/

Chris Pirillo

Ah yes! Chris was a favorite on Tech TV’s “Call for Help” and today still continues to share his wealth of tech knowledge with a loyal following on YouTube and Lockergnome. He runs a very popular personal blog where he published his YouTube videos on all that is tech.

This particular  video is Chris’s take on the nonsense going on at Comcast. I personally call it the “Pirillo pwns Comcast video”. It took them a few months but Comcast eventually admitted they were “shaping traffic” - which basically means if they found customers downloading torrents even if the content was LEGAL!

Of course Chris being the very intelligent person he is totally summed up how crazy the situation is by “pwning” this guys calling from Comcast. It really shows how poor Comcast is. This is amongst some 1,300 other videos he has posted. He gives amazing information on tech and how to use it even if you arent one who is tech savvy.
