Britain's 81-year-old Queen Elizabeth II, considered an icon of traditionalism, launched her own special "Royal Channel" on YouTube Sunday.
The queen will use the popular video-sharing Web site to send out her 50th annual televised Christmas message, which she first delivered live to the nation and its colonies on Dec. 25, 1957.
"The queen always keeps abreast with new ways of communicating with people," Buckingham Palace said in a statement. "The Christmas message was podcast last year."Indeed the internet's technology makes messages like these more accessible to younger people and those in other countries. YouTube has been used to deliver important statements and events, making the youth aware of what's happening around.. like the Presidential Debate in the US, and the Wowowee cheating rehearsal here in the Philippines. So don't be surprised if next time you see the Pope delivering his Christmas, New Year or Easter message through his "Paypal.. ehrr.. Papal Channel" as well :)
