YouTube Search Stories- Check Them Out

You probably remember the Google commercial that told the story of the story of courtship and love through Google searches entitled “Parisian Love.”

Thanks to Jackie Connelly-Fornuff, I got hip to the YouTube feature that lets you create your own search story. It is pretty cool, and it can take as little as 5 minutes if you are familiar with your search terms. They are very customizable- you can input your search terms, choose your music, and create your own little YouTube commercial with an huge combination of search terms and musical themes. 

Just go to Youtube.com/searchstories and try it. They even have a wizard that will give you the Google results for the search terms so you’ll know how to tweak it. 

I made one last night and while it is no Superbowl commercial, I like how it gets the message across. Best ofall, it’s free.
