Matt Harding, Capitalism, and bringing joy to the world...

The Internet has been the capitalist's best friend, where virtual unknowns can quickly rise to the top of the pack if they have the right idea and a good plan. You mainly hear from the big winners such as the founders of Google and the like. However, there are many people who may not have become billionaires, but nevertheless they benefit in their own right by leveraging the ingenuity of the web. 

In just under a month, over six million viewers have seen the YouTube video, Dancing, a low-tech, yet colorful video of Matt Harding traveling around the world doing a jig in dozens of locations with hundreds of people, many of them children. The producers took a simple, campy premise, filmed it in front of vivid backgrounds and synched it to music. Any one of us could have been Matt, that is, if you're able to grin and flap your elbows and knees in front of a camera, but the difference is that Matt took the initiative to make it happen and created it in such a way so that people would enjoy it and tell their friends. After the success of his first self-financed video in 2005, the popularity compelled Matt to envision and plan loftier videos, and after finding a sponsor he has been able to create two more, each one bigger and better than the one before it.
