I just watched it again for the umpteenth time and finally figured out that he's probably saying "U2," but it sure comes out sounding like YouTube.
Calling their site Twitter always baffled me - wouldn't people be put off by what you're implying? - or impressed me with their frankness. Why not mindlessblather.com? Doesn't roll of the tongue the same way...
Yeah, U2/Springsteen thing makes a lot more sense, because they were trying to change the world.
I think they chose twitter because it was supposed to be short chirps about like where you're going for lunch. Not essays/threads.
