14 DAY TRIAL // Tony Blair, the British Prime Minister, is now an important celebrity that attracts YouTube users because John O'Farrell published an interesting interview on Google's video service. Using the interview, O'Farrell aimed to make the Prime Minister answer four questions asked by YouTube's users and create an interactive discussion between Tony Blair and Google's clients. Although the interview was quite fun, the two celebrities talked about important topics such as the war in Iraq and Saddam Hussein. The entire discussion was split in three parts and posted on YouTube, recording an impressive number of users and comments. As you can see in the clip attached to the article, the video is hosted by Labor Vision, a special channel designed to host interviews and clips with the most important faces of our times.
"Blair, who marks 10 years in power on 2 May, answered four questions from YouTube users, listing what he considered to be the party's greatest achievements in the last decade but refusing to mention his biggest mistake. On Iraq, he offered a fresh defence of Britain's involvement in removing president Saddam Hussein and said it would have been a resigning matter if he and the government had deliberately deceived the public about the reasons for war," iAfrica tries to describe the interview.
However, the Google online video sharing service is attracting various types of users because it provides clips from numerous categories. Take for example of the sports domain where YouTube is quite powerful. A clip showing Werder Bremen's Diego scoring an amazing goal lure a huge number of users in less than 24 hours. On the other hand, YouTube tries to improve the political domain by taking YouTubers closer to the upcoming 2008 US Presidential Campaign and allow them to communicate with the candidates.
