Among the many things that were accomplished in the Obama-Biden campaign was just how effective Internet technology is. Without going into all the ways the Democratic campaign utilized the Internet, let's just say that it is opening more doors than ever thought possible.

Jordan's Queen Rania

One of those opportunities is by way of online video. With sites like YouTube, people can reach out to each other regardless of neighborhood, country or culture. The folks at YouTube recognized that people can use their platform to break down barriers of all kinds and create positive social change.

A quick look at her spoof of Letterman's Top Ten reasons as to why she started her site reveals a down-to-earth Queen who also knows the power of Internet technology.

The Queen serves as an inspiration and an example to all who are trying to find a way to make positive differences in this world with nothing more than a desire to fulfill a mission, a message — and a camera.
