Very cool topic idea Ben. Looks like this post isn't even a day old so I"m sure folks will see it as the week progresses and jump in You can reply to the thread to give it a "bump" to the front page topic list and I think you should as this could be loads of fun to talk about this week.
As for me, I too was a big fan of drawing as a youngster. I actually stopped doing it once I got my first electric guitar. All my spare time just got soaked up it by learning to shred! Also, I guess you could say "computers" are something of a hobby of mine so imagine my glee as hardware continued to get cheaper and software continued to get better. I also got in to "Web Development" along the way then in to "Social Media" which remains a hobby. For me now, other than music, I"m in to "Analytics", or the information related to what folks do on the web. This goes hand in hand with my YouTube hobby! If anyone hasn't jumped on to youtube, and started sharing videos, do it! Here is a link to the youtube blog announcing INSIGHT tools for everyone, not just those with Youtube "Partner" accounts. Just click on INSIGHT and you can see where your vieweres are coming from, what they are watching, how old they are etc. Understanding your audience is important. This is a great way to do it http://youtube-global.blogspot.com/2008/03...ytics-tool.html Also, here is a link to YOUTUBE TRENDS which is a great way to track videos that are trending up all over the world. It's like a mini social barometer for all the video traffic on earth. Fascinating to see what videos go viral in various parts of the world but not in other parts. It reveals just a small sliver about national character/culture (imho) as it reveals what folks find funny, cool, etc. Some videos go viral and cross borders, some videos stay put but are wildly popular in a single country. http://youtube-trends.blogspot.com/ This post has been edited by Todd Simpson: Aug 15 2011, 01:59 PM |

I've seen some of your Yotube promo advice before and I was impressed. I really should start doing it myself !!! I'm pretty good football actually. I have played my town's football team called Bagcılar about 5 years. I have started when I was 14. And When I was 17 I have started to play A team. But when I started to university I decited to quit football. Cool.. I also used to play football for the school teams but gave up when I found ROCK N ROLL !! Do you do any other active sports ? |

I used to pretty much do nothing but draw in school. Don't too much of it anymore as most of my inspiration is geared towards music now. |

Man, I love doing lots of things, I like creating stuff from wood, doing fine repairs, drawing was my big thing too, I have some great drawings when I was a kid.
But, I think my general talent is geared towards technology, devices, machines and computers. It was always very very natural for me to understand how these things work, and I was always curious about it, unscrewing devices just to see how they look inside.. I know a lot about computers, it's the only "hobby" that stuck around. Video and audio production, programming, communications, networking, hardware.. I'm all good at that, and watch closely all trends. My masters degree was in multimedia production and mobile networking. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
