"Early Facebook Commercial (1995)" by BrentWeinbach

Back in the 90′s, it seemed that everyone was on America Online. It was literally the first social network. There are even vintage commercials for AOL from 1995 that are on YouTube. Now that Facebook has apparently become the new AOL, Brent Weinbach spoofed the AOL classic 90′s commercial with this fake ad for what ‘The Facebook’ might have looked like if it came out in the 90′s.

"Television commercial for The Facebook from the mid-90s."

"Ford Model T: How to Drive The Car That Moved The World" by XCARFilms

In the latest episode of XCAR, host Alex Goy takes a Ford Model T for a spin, demonstrating how to drive what is commonly regarded as the most influential car of the 20th century. First produced in 1908, the car was more affordable and versatile than much of the competition, opening up automotive purchases to the middle class. By today’s safety standards, however, the Model T is a bit tough to handle.

"Henry Ford wanted to get the world moving, with the Model T he did. We spent some time with the car that started it all and told its story. And yes, it's really hard to drive."
