Monty Python’s YouTube fame.

OK. Anyone out there NOT a Monty Python fan? Thanks to Chris Anderson and his preface to his book “Free’ the Monty Python channel on YouTube has seen yet another lift in activity.

Here’s the story. As only the Monty Python cast could tell it…

The serious side of this is the power of free and it’s ability to generate a huge following. The Monty Python’s decision to give away all their archive footage has developed a new generation of Python followers and has relaunched their dvd collection to best seller status.

Whether you’re a fan or not, go grab yourself a coffee and take 15 minutes to browse around their channel. Come back and tell me if you didn’t get a smile on your face. http://www.youtube.com/montypython
