[NFB-Idaho] STEM technology going to ICBVI for the next generation of scientists, mathematicians and engineers!

[Kevin Pirnie]

That's great Don!

Please keep in mind that when forwarding videos to others for editing or to
me for further optimization it is important to use a free app and service
like "We Transfer." This assures that the high quality HD resolution is
maintained. If not maintained Youtube will not promote them and they will
not go viral as some of our videos have. When you forward videos by text,
email, air drop, etc. the videos are compressed to a lower resolution and
that will work against us and in essence Youtube penalizes us for it.

I will set up a conference call in the near future for those interested in
learning about some of the key optimization secrets that encourages Youtube
to share our videos to much broader audiences. Feel free to reach out to me
if you have questions before then.

Best,
Kevin

P.S. I'll be sharing another update soon with Idaho's Blind most recent
videos and some new exciting analytics. Meanwhile you can stay up to date
