^ YouTube guest editor MADDOGZA (Trevor) - from Ithaca, New York
"I lived in South Africa for 4 years. This was where my dad ran Habitat for Humanity's human resource efforts for Africa and the Middle-East, and also where my mother was born. This has shaped who I am. I really just stumbled upon Avaaz, but it is exactly what I am about. TAKING ACTION. Taking action on global issues is so important to me. When I have the time, grassroots campaigns are totally my thing. One day I would like to make a difference, on a much grander scale, like Avaaz is doing currently. Let us all join together, forget our differences, and make some positive change!"
Trevor would like to quote some lyrics from "Union," by the Black Eyed Peas:
"
It takes one, just one
And then one follows the other one
And then another follows another one
Next thing you know you got a billion
People doing some wonderful things
People doing some powerful things
Let's change and do some powerful things
then you could be a wonderful thing.
"
Trevor has a video channel on YouTube, just like Avaaz does, and he was selected to be guest editor of the YT front page. This meant that he had the power to feature videos on the front page of one of the most popular websites in the world - he selected what millions of global viewers would see.
He found Avaaz's "Stop the Clash of Civilizations" video, which he loved. That video was then featured by him on the homepage, and received about 700,000 new views due to this.
*UPDATE ON THE "STOP THE CLASH" VIDEO*
Avaaz's vid has now become a YouTube viral! Here are some of the honors rolling in:
#2 Most discussed News and Politics video on YouTube, all time
#20 Most discussed video on YouTube, all time
#26 Top favorite News and Politics video on YouTube, all time
#59 Most responded video on YouTube, all time
