South Africa's YouTube connection

I discovered today that a South African was part of the success of the Internet phenomenon YouTube!

I found this piece of info at the SA Business Hub site

As proud as I feel that there is a South African connection to this fantastic success story, I am also saddened that so many of our young, up and coming business leaders and entrepreneurs feel the need to take their skills and expertise to foreign soil.

Perhaps government needs to be putting more incentives and support in place for small business start-ups?

How many jobs have been lost in South Africa due to entrepreneurs taking their business ideas overseas? What a sad thought...
