…and The Gurus of YouTube, collectively worth a cool USD1.65 billion (one more is probably cursing in Stanford grad school now, for ditching the enterprise early on 
).
Time also provided a window into their humble enterprise with their photo essay here.
Of course, a post on YouTube will not be complete if it’s missing…addictive VIDEOS!
Here are the viral ones:
Numa Numa
Eepybird = Diet Coke + Mentos (the precision of a Yale mathematician helped make this possible)

P.S.: Some has complained that this ‘people-power’ has not led to greater things other than things like self-indulgence and entertainment such as eradication of poverty, global warming and so forth. For one, the power that has passed to the masses is considerble, and I would also agree that not much has been done for the greater good. However, I remain an optimist that perhaps this is still the ‘discovery and experimentation’ phase, and the time of communal initiatives has yet to arrive. Hopefully, this advantage is realised in time, because we could really need it like right now, and not squandered into useless decadence.
