		<description>I really worked at Bill Gates Foundation U.S. Library Program and the Native American Program Access Technology Fund Bill Gates for years, and heard similar versions of the story. I was able to meet him * very * short time, but do not use that time to clarify that story, although I should poke around the interwebs and see what I can find. I can verify that the library is a high priority for Bill, Melinda and Bill Gates Sr. and many others in BMGF. We almost had a comment from someone who has to start, so it is cool that you mention this.</description>

		<description>oh "Bill Gates enjoyed being a library aide in school. However, he moved to a new school, and asked to be a library aide. He was turned down, because he was a guy. So, he convinced his parents to move him back to his old school, so he could return to working in the school’s library. This is why Bill Gates contributes to education."

		<description>Megan,  Sorry you thought it was too long.  You certainly aren't alone in thinking that, and to be honest, David and I knew that before we launched.  We have said in several place online that this video (and the ones before and after it) is a giant learning experiment.  All we can say is that we did our very best and are glad that most folks seem to enjoy it.  And, even some of the folks that enjoyed it despite its length ;) will be glad to know that the next video project will definitely be much shorter and less complicated.

One last point on length..when you have over 600 submitted or gathered images of library staff that want to be a part of your video, its hard to not have a long video.  We could have done a better job in some ways, we know, but we really tried incredibly hard to do our best.  

Also, I take full responsibility for adding length (and complexity) to the video by insisting on the two bridges in the song (the punk section and the "boy band" section).  Those were my ideas, I lead the music changes on those two parts and if they detract at all from the project at all, I take full responsibility for them.

But still, having said that, David and I, and the majority of people that see the video and hear the song are liking it for the most part.  It is not perfect, that is for sure, but it is not so bad either.  And some people, even in all of its seven minute glory, actually love it just the way it is.

Either way we are learning from the feedback and are grateful for constructive criticism.  So thanks!</description>
