New developments in internet marketing technologies seem to come about on a daily basis. While computers and the internet have become a part of daily life, most users are relatively unsophisticated and mainly use the web for simple communication needs like email, and for doing basic research related to their daily activities via Google. This is all changing. With the emergence of social networking sites life Facebook, Twitter, Craigslist and Youtube, individuals, businesses, governments, and even religious organizations are now beginning to see the enormous marketing potential that lies in usage of these new internet technologies.

CBC news reported today that the Vatican launched its own Youtube channel aimed at communicating on a daily basis with its patrons through streaming internet video. Millions of people use Youtube each day to search for information on just about everything you can imagine. What most people don’t know, is that anyone at all can create their own Youtube Channel. All you need to do is post videos and title them. The potential is massive as hundreds of thousands use Youtube hourly.

The Pope is expected to appear in the Vatican’s Youtube channel on a regular basis. Two minute videos covering developments and activities at the Vatican are expected to be uploaded to the channel daily.
