presented at the Library of Congress, June 23rd 2008. This was tons of fun to present. I decided to forgo the PowerPoint and instead worked with students to prepare over 40 minutes of video for the 55 minute presentation. This is the result.more info: http://mediatedcultures.net0:0...

watching this for 55 mins plus has made me feel spaced out, not used to such long vids on here. was entertaining, thanks.

This is fabulous! I knew that picking YouTube as a focus for my dissertation research was a going to be fun!

let's think about this though; what about the double videos people upload, as in the videos that are on youtube twice because people just feel like posting them again for whatever reason? that's not exactly new content.

This was absolutely fantastic! I'm an virtual anthropologist myself from Finland and this video gave me lots of inspiration!

Very nice. I never thought of this community in that way. It's very interesting to see it through your eyes as well as other peoples eyes. well done.

Fantastic work !

This analysis spoke volumes to me. It reinforced my belief behind every video, every scandal, every phenomenon, and even every comment, there's a person longing to be heard. I should really show this to more people. :O
