What's Noo?
A blog for noobies by Patric Welch, techie and all around fun guy.
Last week I wrote about a free Perpetual Traffic Report Ryan Deiss is giving away detailing how Google is Broken. I intended that blog post to be the only post on the subject but Ryan has made it too difficult for me to resist a second post. Namely because since that time Ryan has announced two other freebies that are equally as good. The first freebie is what Ryan refers to as his Cherry Picker software. It's a free downloadable piece of software that allows you to find the easiest spots on Google for free traffic. Use it to research… Continue reading...
I never thought I'd say anything bad about Google but I guess all good things must come to an end. Albeit this is only a minor infraction as far as I'm concerned. I think Google is messing too much with their logo.

I recently agreed to teach a YouTube for Beginners class at a local library in August. I'm excited about the class because there are so many people out there that still don't "get" YouTube. And although I'll never convince everyone, I'm at least making it my personal goal to get everyone taking the class to understand the power of YouTube. But today, I'm just going to have a little fun by sharing some of my favorite YouTube videos that I have discovered recently along with a short reason why I love the video.
