Using YouTube to find the owner of a lost camcorder

written by admin on February 27th, 2010

I live in Vancouver where of course the 2010 Winter Olympics are happening right now.  It’s an exciting place to be with lots going on and tons of people everywhere.  During the Opening Ceremonies I tried to get into a big outdoor venue to watch the show with a few thousand of my closest friends on the big screens, but the lineup was the longest I’ve ever seen in my life – it went on for many city blocks.

I was with Craig and as we were walking back he noticed a red case on the ground.  I didn’t think much of it, but he opened it up and there was an HD video camera inside!  We decided to use my YouTube channel to help us find the owner of the camera.  By using YouTube and Social Media sites like Twitter and Facebook we figured we’d have a good chance of finding the owner and a great additional benefit would of course be the exposure the video would give me and my YouTube channel.

I’ve already seen it being posted on our friend’s Facebook Walls and found it being shared on Twitter by people neither of us even know!  So it’s definitely making its rounds online – please help spread it through yours as well!
