Want to have you speech delivered? Well simply win the elections and then get yourself a good speech writer and a good Internet collection. YouTube will do the rest. President-Elect Barack Obama has delivered its first weekly YouTube message. Unemployment insurance, Congress and people’s involvement in coping with the current economic reality are just some of the points of the three-minute speech.

YouTube is the smart way to go. Any president could use it to address its country and the world. Current smartphones can play YouTube videos. Which means that future smartphones will also be able to do it. And leaving presidential messages aside, we’re waiting for faster network to appear so we can make the most of YouTube and other similar video websites.
