YouTube gave Jordan's Queen Rania a "Visionary Award" for setting up her own channel to address stereotyping. This really highlights the potential of people using Web 2.0 as a tool to positively address Mideast problems.
Unable to accept the award in person, the queen delivered her acceptance via — you guessed it — YouTube, spoofing David Letterman with a very witty top ten list of reasons she launched the channel.
According to the Jordan Times, Queen Rania's channel has more than 3 million video views, 10,000 subscribers, and has "mobilised hundreds of YouTubers around the world to create their own video clips that challenge many of the misconceptions about Arabs and Muslims."
