Free Hugs and One World campaign

The You Tube site is such a wonderful place to start something, be it something meaningless, or something worthy of being followed. It's a great way to start a movement or a campaign. Today, we focused our attention on two campaigns of notice.

#1 - Juan Mann's One Love, Free Hugs movement



The video features music from The Sick Puppies, a guitar fuelled rock three piece band, from Australia

Watch a interview of Juan Mann



And the news coverage of the movement and how it started



The world is really becoming a tiny, tiny place! Fortunately, good things also can become global from one moment to another. Here's a thank you note of Juan Mann to everyone for helping the Free Hugs movement to become a truly global campaign. You, too, can visit the official site of the Free Hugs Campaign to know more about it and, hopefully, to spread the love in your own unique way.

#2 - One World Campaign

Launched on the 16th November 2006 as a video on You Tube, the One World Campaign invites everyone to join in until the 4th of December 2006 by sending a video of a written hand with a message to the world. The original text is:
"This is an invitation, to make a stand, to make a statement, to make a difference.

Write something, anything, on your hand and share it with the world.
What will you choose to write?

Join in
Be part of something
Post your response now

-Closing date 4th Dec 06-"

And here are just a fraction of the responses posted on You Tube until now. As we are seeing the One World video, we counted 1781 responses already placed. There's still time to place your own! We would love to feature it here, so write us and share it with us.
