YouTube, I tube, we'll soon all tube!

Fortune magazine mentioned YouTube.com as the success story of Web video-sharing. Chad Hurley and Steve Chen, in their late 20s, built a company based on allowing people to share, for free, their video clips with anyone in the world.

They haven't made profits yet, even though they received $11M from a VC firm.

But what a concept. There are tons of business models that can run on this kind of free-for-all video platform.

Ordinary people like you and I can (finally) showcase ourselves, our products and our services to the world!

(www.thisishowyoudoit.com tried something similar, but it is just not easy enough to use).

I mentioned the Dot Pro Revolution before, it's when professionals use the Web (hence, "dot pro") to market themselves, their intellectual capital, their know-how.

More on this later.
