Tubecon, in Helsinki (Finland), is the biggest YouTube related event in Scandinavia. Read more about it and the success of YouTube in Finland in my article for the Foreign Correspondents’ Programme.

La visita al poble sempre era el primer dia de l’any, per recordar als vilatans que seguia allà un any més i que debien de seguir espantats.
