I wish Dominica-Weekly dot Com had so many passionate users like Gmail-Google’s email system. That’s the advantage of having a huge user base. Every small blog want it: a big user base and every huge blog has it. When the official Google blog asked Gmail users to help make a collaborative video, they received over 1,100 submissions.

Last month, we invited you to join the Gmail collaborative video, pull out your video cameras and help us imagine how an email message travels around the world. Two Rubik’s cubes, a few jaunts in a bottle, beautiful sand animation, and one dog’s trip to the Southernmost point of the continental US later, we’d received more than 1,100 fantastic clips from Gmail fans from more than 65 countries.

Here are only a few companies (Apple, Adobe – Photoshop, and Nintendo) I think could put this off. Asking your user to make a promo video for no compensation other than being apart of the final cut really show how loyal some user are for a product or service. I wonder if there is a company in the Caribbean can pull of a collaborative video about its product or service.
