Queen Elizabeth’s annual Christmas broadcast, along with about 20 other clips, are up on YouTube as the inital offerings of The Royal Channel.  George V started the tradition with a radio broadcast in 1932, and the queen took it to television in her 1957 broadcast, hoping that the new medium would give a more personal and direct connection.   Fifty years later, she’s making the jump to social networks.

The New York Times reports that the 1957 video’s the most popular so far, with 400,000 downloads; the current rating’s 4 1/2 stars.  Prince Charles visiting a school trails with 3,000 downloads (3 1/2 stars).   Sam Wollaston in the Guardian has some good advice for the royals:

You need to make it more fun, for the internet generation. Less stuffy guff from Palace press office, more jokes. Get Philip on there, going off about something that irritates him. And Harry killing something. And the dogs. That’s what the Royal Channel needs. Corgis. Making love.

Indeed.

    All of this talk talk talk.. and no action! As a professional blogger, I do tend to come across a good thing from time to time. Chances are good that most of yiou would like to make a little more money, right? The Internet has created thousands of millionaires. Or, did they have something to do with it as well? Most of the great online marketers use software to help automate their business. What I am looking for is something that could become a real business that I can use in order to create enough income to quit my main job. So far, the most promising program that I have found is called Profit Monarch. I like it because it is very cheap to get started with and that it comes with easy to use software. Using the software is as easy as opening up your inbox and writing an email. There is nothing complicated about it and it comes with a complete set of video instructions. You can use the “step-by-step” training videos and instructions to easily setup and profit from the software fast! Then you can get paid ‘month after month’ WITHOUT a product, website or blog! What do you have to lose? Go see it in action right now: http://adf.ly/1WIA0
