Check out the CR4_News channel on YouTube sometime.

More videos are coming soon, too. Do you have any CR4-worthy videos of your own that you'd like to share? If so, send Moose a message.

Smart technology companies like engineering firm Albany Engineering in Upstate, New York have been using it for some time to successfully drive business their way: See my earlier blog entry that includes a YouTube video.

I'm looking at technology company web sites daily, and am seeing more and more of them dedicating resources to this and cleverly getting their message out using social media like YouTube, CR4, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter.

For example, Microsoft has smartly started doing this too, for their important new product offering: I just became a Facebook "fan" of Windows 7 last night, to stay up-to-date with latest technical developments via my Facebook newsfeed.

Weekend project will keep a lot of hard working people happy when they have a project outside of work. Keeps the mind sharp too.
