Hi,

Just think about this: this one woman was involved in the introduction, via her first televised annual message: live television speech, Colour Tv transmitted live via satellite around the world and Now this -All within about 50 years.

How sometimes with the constant stream of media and PR, we don’t realise the giants who’s shoulders we stand on.

One issue I have with all these public figures is the way they’re playing googles game in making Youtube the only site for all dis-intermediated media from the presidents to the BBC, when they should, by virtue of taxpayers paying the bills and competitive fairness, be neutral and agnostic, by multi-loading their youtube content onto it’s competitors.

Yours kindly,

Shakir Razak

I am interested to know how alexa collected statistics on who reads TechCrunch, I am from Australia, and though I take absolutely no offence, because it is statistics, and you can’t argue with that, I would like to know what the Percentage of Australians that read TechCrunch are.

though the lack of Australians probably explains the passivity of the comments on this article :). I am sure there are many Australians who have a lot to say about the monarchy, and I can understand why comments are not allowed on the video. I really don’t care wether we have her as a Queen or not, but I feel it is a bit hurtful that she does not even have a holiday house here

I think the alternative speech is being broadcast at the same time a little more interesting. Here it is leaked on their website.

Found it! I guessed it would be http://www.youtube.com/nicolassarkozy and it is. He also has his own website http://www.sarkozy.fr .

UK Prime Minister has a Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/10DowningStreet
and France’s president Nicolas Sarkozy has one but I haven’t found it yet - there are so many anti-Sarko sites I can’t find his own one!

Hi.

It was good to ad a link for Americans. You know most of us probably couldn’t pick her out of a lineup. Now SpongeBob on the other hand…

PS. Great site.

monarchic mashups at public expense are a problem Marc

anyone know if there any other Heads of State who have a channel on youtube as this development could start a trend.

Desik you can hardly compare internet commenting to a democratic vote. I say the commenting should be disabled to stop braindead flamers, you say that is the same as not having an election, stop looking for problems…

@ marc

Right, lets disable voting in the UK too to prevent anything but mindless flagwaving…

Nah it makes sense to disable comments, it would be used for flaming.

Hey @Marc:
I did not mean that I felt, that he intended to, either. My comment had a funny tone. Maybe I wasn’t obvious enough

Oh well, we Indians _are_ like that.

@Preshit

I agree that it probably wasn’t that clever to say “Americans read here” but I am sure he didn’t mean insult to anyone and would probably change it if he saw your comment. The bloggers at TechCrunch are probably very aware of their international community.

P.s Alexa says TechCrunch viewers come from

United States 44.1%
United Kingdom 5.9%
Canada 5.1%
France 5.1%
Germany 4.1%
