I did not realize that YouTube was searched more than any other search engine (besides Google of course). I agree though, every company should find a way to get onto YouTube and at least start up a channel to represent their brand in some way.

@Nick & Chris… agreed. I had no idea. It didn’t even come to mind as a “search engine” but it makes perfect sense.

Fair enough. But my opinion is that people are using it to search for media, not to find a business service.

But if you’re in a business that has how-to stuff, then take advantage of Youtube ASAP!
