What's our word for today? Engage. Don't just use new media, engage through new media. Shall I keep spelling it out? OK...don't just post videos on YouTube, engage with your audience (or the community) on YouTube.
Now there's more than one way to cook and egg and there's more than one way to engage. But for today we'll focus on that great little feature on YouTube - the comments.
One of the quickest ways to see if a video is really engaging is to see how many comments it generates. The quickest way to see whether the video owner wants to engage is to see if they acknowledge their viewers comments.
Now there are constraints of time; not every YouTuber can, or wants to, dedicate hours engaging online. But there's no excuse for those who never respond to comments left on their videos.
So here's an engaging little video, with plenty of comments on comments.
And here's me saying pretty much what I've said in this blog - just incase you weren't paying attention!

Great thoughts Matt. When you get a ton of comments, it's hard to keep up. But the whole beauty of this medium is the interaction between creators, viewers and commenters.
