Kofi Annan Tries Out YouTube

Former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan tried out YouTube and I and briefly discussed it afterwards.

When I asked whether he thought Social Media could help bring about world peace, he suggested I ask Barack Obama.

Sadly, Obama is not here in Davos, so will have to wait on that question.

Cool that you got to Kofi. Politicians/world leaders like Obama really get it. I used properly, digital communications can be invaluable. Even the Pope/Vatican started a YouTube channel.
