Why Do You Tube? - Video Contest - Blackberry Giveaway!

I got a lot of response from one of my recent videos titled iPhone vs. Blackberry.

Most of you wanted to know what I was doing with my Blackberry Curve that I had just bought in January.

Well… I am giving it away… that’s right… completely free.

I am doing a little contest on Youtube entitled… “Why Do You Tube?”

Check out the video below…

So, if you would like a chance to win my Blackberry Curve, then let me know “Why Do You Tube?”

You can respond one of 3 ways…

1. Post a comment on this blog
2. Post a comment to the video above
3. Post a Youtube video response

Then, once that video reaches 100,000 views… I will pick the best response, and ship you my Blackberry Curve for free!

I hope you enjoy the contest!

Have a wonderful day,

Ryan

Learn how to do X..its the collective conscious..how each person does something..whether its covering a band, skiing, running, climbing..each person has a unique way of showing how they do X activity..its seeing it from their point of view that is great..the days of one expert is over..there are many experts now..

Thanks Ryan for the reminder that U-Tube is here and that it is a good way to advertise. If I get a lot of traffic to my site, [removed for spam] then, I will start using it more often to advertise. Have a nice spring and summer vacation…

Hi Ryan,

Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed and learned from your 3DayList.com videos. They were enjoyable and useful. That shows one of the reasons I use YouTube–for education, for either business, pleasure, or travel, since lots of people have educational videos on YouTube. I also use it for entertainment–there are some really funny videos there. It’s also a great way to get exposure for your business message and bring visitors to your site.

#6 Rob on 04.04.08 at 1:48 pm

I youtube because i like to watch funny videos, keep in contact with freinds and listen to my favorite composer/pianist Randy Newman

#7 Trent Wells on 04.04.08 at 3:17 pm

You Tube is used to promote and communicate my business. It also allows the viewer to put the face with a name and this is very important in business today. Good Day.

It’s really simple - to post videos of various things we do here @thebeach, on vacation, and just whatever I feel like sharing with family and friends. And I don’t have to take up mega space to host the videos, I let YouTube do it for me. I just use their embedded code and it looks like I posted the videos directly to my website. How amazing is that? And, I get to use their bandwidth. There’s no coding, a bunch of flexible options, and a veritible plethora of ways to share. And, IT’S ALL FREE! It don’t get no better.

#9 Joe on 04.04.08 at 10:30 pm

Hey Ryan You tube has alot of usefull vids on it
plus all the funny stuff onit.

I use you tube to learn about mlm
making videos to promote my business
guitar lessons
just seeing whats going on!

#14 cheryl on 04.05.08 at 9:27 pm

I Love watching music videos on Youtube of my favorite music artists and groups. More recently I have discovered alot of educational videos about some of my personal topics of interest. YouTube is my favorite Web 2.0 site as I am not a big fan of sites such as My Space.
I love to read and make comments on the videos I watch. I find it amusing how opinionated myself and others are when making these comments on Youtube. It provides some good entertainment, good laughs, and lots of good debating! I think Youtube is here to stay!
I also like that I have my own webpage that I can advertise on and save my favorite videos to share.

Take Care,

Cheryl

#15 Roger on 04.06.08 at 5:43 am

Hey Ryan,

I tube because you told me to!

I did tube before I met you actually. I enjoy watching for entertainment and I’m amazed at some of the great videos people put together. Soem of the videos really crack me up!

I also see it as an opportunity to drive some traffic to my firefighter testing website.

Have a good one Ryan,

Roger

#16 Alvin on 04.06.08 at 2:25 pm

Hey Ryan I basically got a You Tube account because of your guidance, so I use it for business. I have since then ran across some neat stuff and I am getting some stuff together for my first video

#17 Linda J on 04.06.08 at 5:33 pm

Hey Ryan,
I am a baby boomer, but life is a learning process everyday. And I want to be able to keep up with you guys even when I get to be 90! After watching all the
videos, I signed up for a YouTube account and sent my son a birthday wish…today’s his birthday and he is overseas in the military! I want to be able to say that I know a little bit about the technology that is being used today, so I’ll try it at least once! IF I can do it, anyone can!! Have a great day!

Linda J.

#18 JJ on 04.06.08 at 6:25 pm

I DON’T

#19 Trent Smith on 04.06.08 at 10:10 pm

I mainly use YouTube to share my opinions on smartphones and other tech gadgets. For a long while I have always had a strong interest in electronic devices and seemed to have a lot to say. Since many of my friends and coworkers don’t share that same interest, YouTube is a great way to get my message across to other people who care to listen.

Besides, winning a free ANYTHING when it comes to tech toys is what I’m always open for!

I actually started a contest myself to trade my Nokia N810 that didn’t go over too well, so I figured I’d help spread the word on your contest as a fellow YouTuber.

Good Luck on reaching 100,000 views.

#20 Matthew on 04.10.08 at 3:46 pm

Hey Ryan Wade,

I have been dewing your videos for quite a while now
I youtube to learn. You see, people put reviews of items for a reason. Just like you put your videos for your reasons. I mean you could learn EVERYTHING from youtube. You can learn how to unlock an iPhone. You can learn how to change a filter in a car. Hey, you can even learn the aspects of driving a plane!

I think youtube is a very neat and useful site

Keep up with the excellent videos, I’ll keep in touch Ryan

Thanks,
Matthew

#21 Kamair on 04.11.08 at 4:54 am

*sigh* okay lets see here,the reason that i youtube i would say is because i live a very boring life and youtube in some way cheers me up because of the millions of videos that are there i mean i could watch funny stuff and laugh i could watch all the new music videos that are out and i could even watch movies in parts or tv episodes in parts its like it takes away the fact that my life is boring while i watch the videos i mean i even watch tutorials on everything from how to play the piano to the guitar how to cook so not only do i watch it to entertain me and keep me from boredom but i also watch it to better educate myself on things that i would have no idea how to do so yea youtube is just great to me overall…..now idk if thats a good reason or not but its my reason to tube the you

yours truly,kamair

#22 john conradi on 04.11.08 at 7:23 pm

I love youtube because it is a human network. I get to post videos to friends and family and I like to put random funny videos. I have an iPod touch and I think the mobile youtube is very useful. I wish you could upload your videos into iTunes onto your iPod touch and onto the mobile youtube. Youtube is amazing

#23 Matthew Hwang on 04.12.08 at 2:54 am

i’m not going to concieve myself with this whole “use it for educational purposes” or put together some thought out reason, as if i was trying to impress you, or brag about how big of a fan i am, cuz honesty ive only seen 2 of ur vids, the one about you, getting your iphone and the vid aboout this contest. and in all honesty, we generally know why most average viewers log on to youtube, and thats to entertain ourselves when we’re bored. i like to just get on whenever im bored and having nothing to do, and wide awake on those 3am nights lol, and just view videos to get a good laugh, and get more of a laugh when i show a vid to my friend or vice versa. I dont get on to view other peoples opinions in their vlogs, about world issues or just anything in general (unless theres a comedic influence lol). In the future i hope to use the account i have to post up short films, and random videos of my friends and i, but till then its just another website to browse whenever i need some entertaining.

#24 patrick on 04.12.08 at 11:15 pm

i youtube to research tech products like the iphone and blackberry. it is way more fun watching vids then reading reviews. I have always wanted a bb. All my friends have one and say its awesome. (I call them crackberries, haha) who knows, maybe ill be one someday.

#26 Shahzada Ashraf on 04.16.08 at 8:26 pm

I use You Tube because it has become part of American culture like Facebook, Hot Dogs, Baseball games, divorce (lol), and etc. It has revolutionized the way people interact with each other. I strongly believe that YouTube is the main reason why many TV stations like NBC, ABC, Fox are offering TV shows like Heroes, Lost, 24, and etc online becuase it has revolutionized the entertainment industry. Also, YouTube has revolutinized internet marketing because it is useful for small artists to get their name out. Also, it is an excellent way know what is going on in the world, since the world we live in has become strongly inpredictible.

#27 stefan on 05.01.08 at 8:38 pm

i go to youtube everyday because i really like watching stuff that other people posted, whether they’re trying to be funny, serious, or depressed. its fun watching what stupid vids other people make.

Plus it wastes time.

#28 Linda on 05.18.08 at 11:13 am

This is amazing how I found you today. I was just checking out the sprint blackberry curve and found your
You Tube. I really appreciated your sharing the difference between IPhone and Curve. Then I went to your website and discovered your mentormeetings. I have a home based business and I am trying to find the most effective way of getting the word out to alot of people as quickly as I can. Internet marketing is like a foreign word to me. So I am sorry to say I have limited exposure to YouTube. I am a baby boomer and want to market to both the younger and older generations. Thanks for any advice. This was a divine connection.
You are very inspiring!!! Blessings to you.
Linda

#29 Chris (clee290) on 05.21.08 at 10:10 pm

I was having trouble posting this on youtube. Anyways, I use youtube to entertain myself when I am absolutely bored. I search for videos that inform me on the latest sports events, hockey, soccer, basketball etc. I also search for funny videos because some people are really funny and the videos are really enjoyable (nigahiga videos :D) I also watch videos that inform me of the latest in technology, such as cell phones, laptops, mp3s etc. Some videos are really useful such as tutorials. And thats why I use youtube. :)

#30 Ali on 05.23.08 at 4:30 pm

Hey Ryan!

I was just browsing through You Tube and searching stuff about the iPhone. I was glad to come across your video about comparing the iPhone to the Blackberry. This is why I You Tube because you never know what you can learn in a few minutes while in another way it can take you forever to compare two products side by side. I honestly think that you’ve done a brilliant job at it. Besides that I like to You Tube because it is extreme informational platform, in a way it is an encyclopedia of numerous things. It is definitely one of the fastest ways to share technology and learn about different people and their ideas. You Tube has made my world so much more informational and entertaining. Thank you for giving me this opportunity.

Regards

#31 Sonja T Ray on 05.25.08 at 10:07 pm

I use YouTube for 3 Different Reason:
1- For a Good Laugh (boxman / old greg, fainting sheep; etc)
2- For Learning (so much great information)
3- For Traffic & Sharing

Make it a Great One…

#32 Daniel Francis on 05.29.08 at 9:24 pm

I youtube to watch all the latest info on all the top t.v shows. if i have missed anything, youtube will have it on there.

I Hope I Win The Curve

#33 Neil on 05.30.08 at 5:51 pm

Hey whats up?
Different people “Tube” for different resons. I know people that “tube” to talk/blog about things that they find controversial, and i also know people that use youtube solely for funny videos.
I have a few different reasons i like to tube.
1.) the first reason i like to tube is to get behind the scenes of things. I really like watching behind the scenes clips and special interviews on topics that i enjoy. For example, i enjoy the video game gears of war very much, so to delve deeper into the creation process of that game, i will go on youtube and search gears of war interviews, or gears of war behind the scenes. It gives me insite to the game.
2.) Another reason i like to “tube” is to help other people. I enjoy making video tutorials for software such as UE3 or some other things along the lines of that. You can check out my youtube account. youtube name - jwrell
3.) I also like tubing to get other peoples point of views on things, and watching people review a product im thinking about buying. For example, I was thinking about buying a blackberry pearl, (but i have a chance to win a curve!! ;)) so i searched blackberry pearl review, and whala! I now have over 100 videos at my disposal to see what people think about the phone! That is actually how i found you video. lol.
well i hope you enjoy hearing why i “tube”. Good luck reading all the responses

#34 Neil on 05.30.08 at 5:53 pm

just tried running over the idea about buying a pearl with my mom, shes not to pumped about it:( maybe i could get one for my 16th b day if i don’t with this. thanks again

#35 Oscar Villalobos on 05.30.08 at 6:52 pm

Hey Ryan Wade, how are you? I hope ok.
Why do I You Tube? I youtube because one of the best reason’s is that I’m a big fan of BLACKBERRY cell phones, and I always say, “what is to be rich men(not referring to you Ryan) and buy something” if you will never be satified with the things you buy, or want. And will keep on going, and going, but at the end, you never get to joy the things you buy, why? because the only thing thinking is that O well I’ll get something more expensive. And what I’m trying to say is that not all the people (Don’t think I’m telling it to you Ray, not even) you are a cool guy because who would give away a good cell phone, but like i was saying not everyone has the money to buy a good cell, and this has nothing to do with what you asked, but is just something that i wanted to say, and like I’m not a Middle Class guy, I’m lower than that, and I would like to have something like that to see what It feels to have something with a good value. Thanks RYAN. And I YouTube to see what’s going on, how the things that we make and do are going to affect us, and I’m like a person who like’s to take care of the enviroment, and see how we could change some things. And to know how technology has improved. And like I say, THANK YOU VERY MUCH RYAN!! for hearing this and reading it.

#36 David on 06.02.08 at 10:58 pm

hey Ryan, I want to share why people youtube.
I believe people youtube, because it lets them express themselves on the internet. It will show the world who they are, and what there personality is like. I use youtube to be entertained, as well as it can be used for obtaining information.
My youtube account is davidrmckay.
ps. I would really enjoy that blackberry, Id appreciate it a lot if you gave that too me! :)

#37 agwall on 06.12.08 at 1:12 am

i youtube 4 the entertaining videos…… wait!!! that wasn’t entertaining….i just got rickrolled….damn i’ll never get that song out of my head……hhmmmmm catchy…NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP NEVER GONNA LET YOU DOWN!!!…NO STOP THE TORMENT!!!! maybe a bberry will get my mind off of Rick Astley

#38 harold on 06.23.08 at 1:52 pm

Hi Ryan, I YOUTUBE mostly for learning and educational purposes. If a person no matter their age can not use a computer or the internet for whatever reason they should learn. OK, maybe it’s not for everyone. I’m 60 yrs. old and still learning every day. I have a home based business and YOUTUBE is teaching me to promote my business. Thanks for your videos.

#40 david on 07.29.08 at 11:02 pm

Why do I tube
i use youtube because it has every single video in the world practicallyI. use it for entertainment comedy or just some entertaining videos , I use it to watch lots of product reviews , when I have problems with my computer I can almost always find the answer on youtube or with any other piece of electronic I can find out how to fix it or how to prevent it or even hooking up the right wires, since I am a big apple fan and I am still waiting until I have enough cash to buy a macbook pro I can learn how to use it and see the fell of it without going to the apple store every day trust me they don’t like it when you come in every day. I also watch tons of music vids or music on youtube if not I would have never of heard or bought tons of bands and albums. I can find out what is happening in the world and without switching sites I can listen to some music. And well finally I post videos on youtube because im just adding to something good like if someone needs help I can make a video to help and I make videos of my things so my friends can see what I live like even if they live in other countries so that is why I youtube.

#41 Josh on 08.19.08 at 12:36 pm

I browse YouTube mainly for user-demonstrations and comparisons of considerably expensive items that I consider purchasing, hence why I came across your “iPhone vs. Blackberry” video. Other than that, I browse YouTube for the sharing of information/knowledge among people and, being a 16-year old, good humor every now and then; it tends to be fascinating to see the variation in people and their viewpoints/ideas, not to mention intelligence and values. Quite honestly, I can buy my own Blackberry and I’m not very comfortable with those pay-as-you-go plans though I don’t speak from personal experience, I answered for your knowledge’s sake; have fun with the contest and I hope you don’t get overly harrassed. =P (As you can tell from my YouTube account, I’m not a very active Tuber.)

#42 Royce on 08.31.08 at 7:55 am

I Tube to check out information such as Cell Phones, Motorcycle Maintenance and any other helpful item. Thanks for the information on the iPhone.
I hope I win. I could use a new phone.

#43 michaelstenson on 09.01.08 at 10:32 am

why do i youtube their is alot of reason one reason is i can get the latest info on stuff around me like the election how to do flips and how to win stuff like this contest.but sometimes i tube for more important stuff like my math homework algbra equations and stuff.i also tube when i not feeling great and i want a good laugh.another reason is i can see how to fix, build and make stuff.like i know how to fix a cake for my moms b day.and i lerned how to prperly fix the hole on my bike tire.and the last reason is because it is just fun where else can you go and watch the latest vid and make a comment and see what other people thought of it to.
