Oprah expands her empire with Youtube.

Oprah Winfrey is on the cutting edge.
Say what you want about this outspoken, philanthropic, and can I mention wealthy woman; she is one smart lady. Although she certainly has hit bumps in the road, everything she touches turns to gold. She knows how to handle her life in the public eye and now is one of the first celebrities to really dive into this new social media world. Sure Rosie has been blogging since 2004, and Obama is on Twitter -- watch out world, OPRAH is on Youtube!

Cultural critic, Richie Hofmann raves "I wouldn't expect anything less from Oprah... she's so media savvy. That's why she's the queen of all media"
* My friend Richie has been itching to say something on here. A guest post will be in the works.

But the thing is, Richie is right. If there's one Celebrity that is willing to take the chance to present themselves on youtube, its Oprah. This is what social media is all about, after all. It's finding a different channel for Oprah to spread her messages. Instead of having to go through her website for exclusive info, its all being broadcast right on youtube. Already her one little 2 minute clip has over 397,842 views.

Totally interesting stuff...
Cant wait to see who follows in Oprah's footsteps.
