Canegrowers in Mackay have taken to the popular Internet site YouTube in their bid to attract workers for this year’s crush.Growers from north Queensland star in a three minute clip, in a parody of the well-known Australian Tourism Council ad, “Where The Bloody Hell Are You?”.

This is the ABC report on the story
Google’s YouTube investment has paid off
according to Scott Goldberg in digital media wireHere’s what he had to say, to start with:
“Skeptics say the jury’s still out on Google’s $1.65 billion purchase of YouTube. But there’s no need to doubt: Google has recovered its investment. And if you weren’t convinced before, the announcement that 1st quarter profit rose 69% from a year ago should be the final straw.
Still need convincing?
Hitwise reported that Google’s share of executed searches in March rose 10% from 2006. Nielsen/NetRatings said last Thursday that searches on Google rose 40% from a year ago. Fact is, YouTube had something to do with that. Directly, perhaps not. But the impact is undeniable.”
