Jimmy0010’s Weblog

This morning has been surreal. So surreal in fact, I need to write it down; and I have only 6 minutes to do so; So this ‘aint gonna’ be nothing fancy.  

Today I got an e-mail. This e-mail to be precise -  

Jimmy! Hello. Just dropping you a line to see if you’d be up to talk to the press about the User Partner Programme at any point.Well.. I say “at any point”, but in reality I mean THIS AFTERNOON. We have reporters lined up — all you’ll need to do is talk.Fancy it? If so, drop me a line pronto (preferably with a contact phone number) and I’ll feed your details to our PR team. Time is of the essence, sir! Jamie  

It’s from Jamie, the editor of UK YouTube. I of course replied excitedly, proclaiming “yes!” and thoughtlessly throwing him all the contact details I have. 

Within a few minutes I was chatting with ‘Ollie’ the PR guy of UK YT, then the Daily Mirror, then the BBC who I did a recorded webcam-chat with; then The Guardian and finally The Telgraph.   So by this time tomorrow, my name will be in print all across the UK. My God. YouTube is a wonderful thing.
