2008 Project For Awesome

I'm gonna write this blog assuming you know what the Project For Awesome is. If you don't, go to www.projectforawesome.com and then read this.

I'm feeling really overwhelmed by the sheer amount of involvement people are having. Thousands upon thousands of people coming together to promote charities. They don't get anything out of it personally; it's totally selfless. Like, I go on the YouTube Most Discussed and about 20 of the videos are Project For Awesome videos. It's just incredible. People are taking up their own time leaving comments and comments and comments, refreshing for ages on ends to bump up the views and going and rating tens of videos 5 stars. I just can't believe how close knit the YouTube community really is. We don't all know eachother. Most of us will never speak to eachother. But there's still so many people uniting to help others. It's actually like, the best thing ever.

And let's face it; it's just YouTube. We all have lives outside of the internet that as a rule, takes up the majority of our time. But despite this, people have made the community such a MASSIVE part of who they are. I know I have.

There's so many people who's evenings have been spent commenting, rating and refreshing.

To be honest I think we've down ourselves proud.

I'll definitely make a vlog about this soon.
