Wired 14.12: YouTube vs. Boob Tube - 0 views

  • $1.65 billion in stock to be the cute little kitty-cat's home.

      Thats a lot of money to earn just for a home made video. I wonder if this means that TV shows that feature funny home made videos are a thing of the past.

      Garfield here is being a bit coy--he means that Google paid YouTube $1.5 billion; the kitten owner didn't get anything but lots of aaaawwwwws.
  • It features a courageous but overmatched freshman named Brian Collins presenting the worst sports-highlight rundown in human history, culminating in the worst sportscaster catchphrase ever conceived: "Boom goes the dynamite."

      I completley agree..it was actually hard for me to watch because I felt embrassed for him! The only time that he actually did sound sure of himself was when he used his very creative phrase of "Boom goes the dynamite".
  • Until about five minutes ago, remember, almost all video-entertainment content was produced and distributed by Hollywood. Period. That time is over. There was a time when advertisers could count on mass audiences for what Hollywood thought we should be watching on TV. That time is all but over.

      Youtube is also like the fascination people have with blogs, it is a way to get your ideas, opinions, views, and anything else that you, yourself, produce out into the world. Youtube lets you publish for the world to see!
  • But don't sell Google short. Not long ago, all it had was a search algorithm and a cool logo. Now, after reinventing online advertising, it has revenue of $9.3 billion a year and good reason to believe that neither of those daunting prerequisites is out of the question.
    • sunflower123
       
      That is unbelievable that google is making that much money a year. What did people do before Google was invented, I guess I can not even imaigine a life with out Google anymore. No body even thinks to use a paperback dictionary or go to the libarey to find information, not when you have such an easy resource like Google ready at all times.
    • casano85
       
      I could never sell Google short. Google is my go to website for EVERYTHING. I use google to search at least twice a day. I use Gmail as my second source of e-mail. I use Google calendar to keep myself organized. I now use Googleblog for one of my classes. I even use the scholarly journal search engine. It's convenient and i always find what I'm looking for.
  • Type in "sweet tired cat" and watch a drowsy kitten dozing off. The clip, which was viewed nearly 2 million times in two weeks, is 27 seconds of such concentrated cuteness that you might actually have a stroke and die. It's that excruciatingly adorable. And, as it turns out, extremely valuable. Google – as you may have read in every publication, online and off, in the entire freaking world – just paid #3 $1.65 billion in stock to be the cute little kitty-cat's home.

      This is rediculous. I do not know why everyone is making such a big deal about a cat falling alseep. Yeah the cat is cute but still to be watched 2 million times in just two weeks....what are people doing on their time off!?!
    • kimmerzx0 C
       
      I find it interesting to see what some people spend their money on. $1.62 billion could be used for so many more productive things and could help so many people in need, yet they spend it on a video of a cat?
    • needle10
       
      I thought this video was adorable and I'm not even a fan of cats. It's nice to watch something that wasn't rehearsed and is just naturally entertaining. This video is what I call short and sweet.

      I dont see why someone can say if you are not blogging you do not exist. People have other things to do. Some people enjoy technology and blogging and posting and others dont. Just because someone doesnt like to blog doesnt mean they are not living. Maybe they are more private or scared to post informtion.
  • from a standing start about a year ago to more than 100 million videostreams a day. It was on YouTube, not Saturday Night Live, that the world fell in love with "Lazy Sunday." It was there that we found ourselves smitten, intrigued, and ultimately betrayed by Lonelygirl15. And it is there that more than 65,000 videos go every day, their creators posting what they think are video clips but that are also improvised explosive devices laying waste to the old order.
    • willis02
       
      I think that facts are amazing about how many people are watching these videos. 65,000 videos is crazy I dont see how people can keep up with adding videos or even just watching them on their spare time.

      I agree that this is horrifying and cruel, but I'm not sure about the hilarious part. I literally cringed for most of the video and had to turn it off after a minute or two. The look on that poor guy's face! It's amazing to see what kind of videos are posted, and I can't even imagine what it must be like to be the person millions of people have laughed at mercilessly.

    • casano85
       
      I only watch videos that are pointed out to me on YouTube, but I never just go searching for videos. This one was hysterical. I have to admit I laughed aloud when I saw it. But then when I think about it, why does someone take the time to make these videos and post them? Yes it's funny, but you definitely have way too much time on your hands to make silly videos like these.

      I found these statements very though provoking. It was previously thought that to exist you needed to make your presence known to mainly those people around you but now with the changing technology has it become necessary to make yourself known to millions of other people you may never directly talk to or meet?

      That is truly ashame. The more he read or attempted to read, the redder his ears became. I like to laugh at people just as much as the next person and, quite honestly, sometimes even more. I can appreciate being irreverent, but this was just too painful to watch. I hope his parents don't ever get to watch this or view the mean spirited comments.

      I am pretty horrified that they let him suffer like that, especially after you realize he isn't doing too well after the first minute.
    • needle10
       
      I personally did not find this to be hilarious at all. I felt so bad for the guy but it's admirable that he continued with it (knowing that he messed up and wasn't doing well). In situations like these, I put myself in the other person's shoes, which I think everyone should do, and then I bet they wouldn't be laughing.

      It's funny that they referenced this particular video. I actually met Judson Laipply, we booked him for freshman orientation this past summer. His act was awesome and really captivated the audience. I also remember hims specifically addressing the fact that you could find this video on youtube and directing the freshman to the site.

      It's about time that Hollywood and the media elite realize that they do not have the monopoly on video-entertainment. You-Tube provides a great outlet for amateur singers, comedians, writers, and interactive storytellers. It's all part of the technological evolution, which is a force that appears to be unstoppable.

    • needle10
       
      I really saw no point for this video. I've seen videos similar to this one that show women during their gestation period with the same concept, a picture is taken once a day everyday. That at least would be a cute keepsake for the parents and child but this video has no purpose, I kept watching it, hoping it would get to a point but it never did.

      I couldn't help but laugh histerically at this video because I know how it feels to be put in the spotlight and freeze all of a sudden. I was in my first pageant my senior year of high school and when I went up for the question, I didn't understand it, so I just kind of stood there, stared at the person who asked me, couldn't make my mouth move and just walked away. Looking back it was hysterical, but at the time I was mortified. This poor guy, he's doing good, he just needs to boost his confidence! He's so stressed!

    • haines64
       
      I absolutely love this line! It reminds me of the original idea for YouTube and its use. Despite it now being commonly used in educational settings, let's face it - many still use YouTube simply for fun, for sharing, and for expression.
    • mccrar25
       
      This sentence really sums up what has led to the success of YouTube. It has revolutionize the way that people think and act. We are a "YouTube" society. We love posting our own videos and watching videos that others post. We use it for entertainment purposes and educational purposes. YouTube has become a major part of many people's lives all over the world.
  • So why is it worth nearly six times the gross domestic product of Micronesia?
    • mccrar25
       
      It is astounding to actually sit down and think about how much of a "You Tube" country we've become. I, like many others around the world, have probably spent hours in my lifetime searching and exploring videos on You Tube. It is becoming almost a second nature where we have grown to "just go to You Tube" or "just have to see this video." It is really changing our lives.
  • Google has recently bet the equivalent of 257 Mervyns stores that the rise of video-sharing is more than just the latest rage.
    • haines64
       
      In thinking about how much video-sharing has become mainstream, one could compare it to blogging. Just a short while ago, blogging was this 'new' thing for teenagers and young adults, that eventually became a common practice (just look at how many people have a Myspace even, let alone sites dedicated just to blog posting). I think now video-sharing is taking this same path, with more and more people finding it commonplace.

    • mccrar25
       
      I agree with this statement. We are living in a world where we are quite self-centered. You Tube, MySpace, and Facebook provide great examples. We love to post pictures of ourselves for others to see and share with others "how great the party was last weekend". Really, if you think about it, the Internet does provide many with a moment in the spotlight. Even large companies are aware of this by using You Tube videos for advertising purposes. They are much cheaper than paying actors or people to come up with commercial ideas and scripts. Instead, they can underpay people on You Tube to make a much greater profit, without the people even realizing it. They're just happy that their video is on TV.

      This relates to the readings we did for Tuesday, too, specifically "We Are the Web." I'm curious what the sample population was. Considering how many people have blogs, YouTube accounts, webpages, and accounts on other subject-specific websites, I would think 38% was rather low. I wonder if they surveyed peope in general, or people using the Web.

      This made me think of the recent switch of political advertisements and commercials shown on tv to now being formatted and constructed to be soley used for youtube and geared towards the youtube audience. Recently, Obama created a video that has received millions of views on youtube and in my opinion it is one of the most influential and most well made political advertisements I've ever seen

      Plus, it's excruciating! I felt so bad for him that I just wanted to turn the thing off! It has to be so embarrassing! But instead of eventually forgetting about it--or hoping you can forget about it--YouTube makes it public! It makes embarrassing moments that much more horrifying, and I can't understand how people can get such pleasure out of someone else's pain. It's kind of like a visual gossip center on the web, and though some postings are completely innocent (like the sleeping kitty), others are just plain cruel.

      I'm not sure I would go as far as to claim this. Yes, video-sharing and such is and will continue to have a major impact; however, I think watching TV has become too much of a social force with the general American population to say that it is on the brink of ending. New innovations, such as YouTube, may become popular quickly but this does not mean socially-ingrained innovations, such as the 'blue light' of TV, will disappear quickly.

      I personally don't have a problem with youtube making money. I think it is a great source of entertainment and it doesn't mislead viewers as much as other sites. It is all up to the poster. If you post a video on youtube it is your credability. Its like anyone discovering a new invention, I say good for them. It was a good idea and many people enjoy using the site.

Type in "sweet tired cat" and watch a drowsy kitten dozing off. The clip, which was viewed nearly 2 million times in two weeks, is 27 seconds of such concentrated cuteness that you might actually have a stroke and die. It's that excruciatingly adorable.

      It is interesting to see how our entertainment spectrum has changed. Technology has evolved and now allows us to watch videos and tap into the lives of others. Sometimes i sit back and think how my grandmother and dad felt when the telvision first came out. What were they thinking when they could view all sorts of stories. Are their feelings anything different that what we feeling after we watch our youtube videos.

      The whole idea of "being somebody" on YouTube brought to mind those six girls and two boys in Florida who attacked another girl on video.

      There are plenty of people, myself included, who have this creative side. This need or desire to "make" something meaningful. For me, it is to write. Most of us don't think we have an outlet for our creativity because, afterall, we are not gifted writers, film makers, and thespians. YouTube gives us an outlet to express ourselves. I believe that is why YouTube and, for that matter, blogs, have taken on a life of their own. It is a catalyst for creativity for the every day person.

Wired 14.12: YouTube vs. Boob Tube - 0 views

  • As for Sacerdoti's so-called postroll ads, even the most self-satisfied marketer wants to know who in the world would stick around to watch – or, more to the point, who can prove that anyone did.
    • dracmere
       
      This brings up a good point. I do not know of many people that would stick around for a commercial after the video. I usually am ready to click on the next video after the one I am watching is done.
  • Wait until their commercials make it onto YouTube and hope they go viral.
    • dracmere
       
      This option seems to work. I have seen many Superbowl ads make it onto Youtube, which probably allows more people to see them then the Superbowl did.
    • goulds28 gould
       
      Because many people watch the Superbowl only to see the commericals uploading them onto youtube would increase even more the use of the internet instead of television cable.

      This statement kind of made me laugh. It is totally true. I guess if so many people are using Youtube, it obviously can not be wrong. Also, I think how they are called useless is funny.

      This is a major problem. There is a code of ethics that needs to be followed, but a lot of people don't care about that. Maybe some don't realize what they're doing, but still, it's illegal. We inherently accept that lying is wrong, that stealing is wrong, that plagerism is wrong. What's the difference between that and breaking copyright laws? Is that some sort of "golden opportunity" that people can ignore? No! But maybe they just figure they won't get caught. Few others appear to.
    • haines64

      It's true, most people probably won't watch ads after the vdeo. I can't speak for anyone else, but I usually wont even watch the credits. Maybe if video makers did what filmmakers do now, have a bonus scene after the credits. You would see a video, the credits, a short ad, and final a bonus scene. A lot of people still wouldn't watch, but it's a possibility.
  • Which may suit the users just fine. One of the biggest obstacles to advertising success is the damage that success could inflict on the YouTube experience, till now an oasis of relative noncommercialism in a world of brand inundation
    • daydreamr97
       
      It's a good point. A lot of YouTube videos make use of copyrighted material, and although they credit the original creators, users seem paranoid about what the companies will do to them. By opening the site up to advertisers, it becomes even more likely that the big companies will start censoring what users can post.
  • But speculation abounds that copyright holders have just been waiting for someone with deep pockets, such as Google, to acquire YouTube, whereupon the lawsuits will fly.
    • daydreamr97
       
      This is exactly the fear of users. They use songs and video clips, and even though they aren't making money for their videos and most of the users do credit the original artists, they know that big companies can come along and tear their work down. Which isn't fair, when you think about it. All art is influenced by other art. In previous generations, it was okay for kids who became artists to begin by tracing and kids who became writers to begin copying other writers' styles, and kids who became directors to use action figures and a script drawn from other scripts. It's how people grow and discover who they are and what they want to say.

      If they have to run an ad, I think it should be done at the end or at least have the option to skip it. I think having it at the beginning sometimes hurts things in the end because people are impatient and they may just skip to another video or site else that does not have the ad first.

      I think that Beckett is on to something, but the TV world just isn't ready for it yet. I think that we may see shows similar to "Lonelygirl" soon, because people want to be involved and participate in what they watch. Why do you think that shows such as Dancing with the Stars and American Idol are so popular? It's because everyone gets to be their own judge in a way. Also, they develop "relationships" with the contestants. They want their favorite singer to win or their least favorite to get booted off. Successful shows such as these are highly interactive.

      I think that this feature is what made so many people interested in it before, and led them to be currently interested. There were no boundaries with this show. It's creators were free to do whatever they wanted with the show. This is part of what made it different from an ordinary television show.
    • daydreamr97
       
      So, Internet as a writing space remediates early TV as a writing space, which was at the time remediating radio as a writing space. Only later did innovations for each particular space come to exist.

      It must have been a tough choice for the creators to trade a deal for the freedom to screen their shows wherever they want, but it only makes sense. The designed the series for a writing space that was based on sharing, so signing exclusively with a website would defeat the point.
  • Flinders can't write and film them all, so new writer-directors have been hired and paired with actors playing the new characters.

      Interestingly enough, while this separate collaboration doesn't happen in TV or film, it does happen with longer book series.

      There's a big difference here before the standard of television and today's internet. Interativity is a lot more involving, and a person can grow more emotionally attached as opposed to the "passivity of television." Emotional attachment equals addicted viewership, which equals popularity and success of the show. It's really an ingenious new medium for the entertainment industry to consider.

      I do not thing it's a good idea to blur reality and fiction. As we saw in "A Rape in Cyberspace," problems arise when you mix VR and RL.
  • 9 Unlike television, where writers sit in a room and come up with a single script, the Lonelygirl15 team comes up with a general plotline and then sends its writer-directors out to produce independent but interconnected videos. All the characters, in essence, have their own show.
    • butler09
       
      That's an interesting concept to consider when you think about it. By having separate vlogs, you're able to give separate points on view on different "issues" going on in the characters lives, and it makes the audience feel like they can relate even better. Some movies give you the first-person-point of view, so you know exactly what one person is thinking (like Bree), but you don't know the mind of the other characters (like Daniel). By giving them their own "spotlight," the viewers can form a greater attachment and interest in the stories presented.
  • 13 They don't have a big TV deal, or even a big Internet deal, but they're convinced that what they're doing is important anyway. And they're still here, in Flinders' bedroom. Rose leaps onto the bed and jumps up and down.
    • butler09
       
      Even after people realized that the story was fictional, they still retained their viewership, and that really testifies to the success they had. But even then, Beckett and Flinders didn't choose to "sell out" on the idea; they've kept it as they intended it, and I think that's a pretty important thing to observe. They didn't try to modify it to fit onto the big screen so that they could earn even more money from it.
  • This Web series not only looks different, it's made differently than other filmed entertainment.

  • $500 a week to play Bree full time
    • dracmere
       
      I wish I got paid that much. Thats pretty cool for her to get paid to be on Youtube. Just more evidence that Youtube is taking over.
    • Gail Ramsey
       
      I wonder if that was tax-free money. I don't think $500 would be enough for me to run around hiding from everyone. This girl seems to be so trusting and naive.
  • But the fans – raised on the unreality of reality TV and with the role-playing ethos of the Web – seemed to take the revelation in stride.
    • dracmere
       
      Seems like viewers treated like a regular show. I know if I was a viewer I wouldn't of cared. If something entertains you then just because it isn't real doesn't mean it will stop entertaining you.
    • jc ice
       
      True the whole point of entertainment is to captivate you, but it still has to be something tht you can identify with and that speaks to you. She obviously spoke to a lot of people so the fact of whether it was real or not didn't matter in the message.
  • several people noted that everything in Bree's room seemed to come from Target
    • sunflower123
       
      That is amazing that people really looked that deeply into the veidos.
  • ...27 more annotations...
  • It hadn't taken them long to figure out, by trial and error, what worked in this new genre. Viewers wanted family and relationship drama mixed with a rich, mysterious backstory that could be explored and debated.
    • sunflower123
       
      The more I read the more interesting it sound, it is to bad they could not have just admitted from the beginning that they are just trying to get a web tv type show. People would still watch if it was interesting enough.
    • kimmerzx0 C
       
      People want something they can relate to and many teenagers have family problems.
    • jc ice
       
      By not telling the audience whether this character was real or not, everyone automatically assumed that she was real. Maybe it was just realistic casting. This is like an online mockumentary but instead of being viewed by a small group of followers gained an enormous following almost instaneously.
  • In return, she had to stay home as much as possible and wear sunglasses and a hat when she went out. For Rose, it was a dream come true – she was a working actress. She just couldn't tell anyone.
    • sunflower123
       
      Yes making 500 dollars a week is okay for a 27 year old, but I would personally hate the fact that I'd have to keep my identity hidden all the time, and couldn't tell anyone what was really going on, that has to get stressful.
    • jc ice
       
      This is so old hollywood. During the filming of Gone With The Wind, the studio forced Vivien Leigh to live separate from her husband to continue the illusion of her being a single eligible southern belle. Also, many of the studios knew then and still use the practice now of setting up known gay actors with romances to throw the public off. I think the studios care more about this than the public does now, but the practice still goes on to this day.
  • The YouTube community was sucked into the plot and speculated endlessly about Bree's faith. Some thought she was Mormon; others insisted she was a Satanist. Another group tried to figure out where she lived: The leading guess was somewhere in the Midwest. Viewers spent hours Googling the possibilities and posting their results on YouTube.
    • maureen
       
      Brillant! Getting the community sucked into the plot is big, but getting the community to start speculating about the plot is even bigger. When people start speculating, a dialogue occurs and from that dialogue the speculation spreads like a virus, which in turn promotes more interest in Bree and more viewers to follow the story.
  • Fair enough," the fan wrote back, and then went on to tell Bree the latest news in his life. To many, it didn't seem to matter whether she was real or not. A number of posts appeared on YouTube denouncing the series, but many more responded with variations of this simple statement: If you don't like it, don't watch.
    • maureen
       
      Who cares whether she was real or not. The purpose of watching the videos is for entertainment and to get in on the new wave of storytelling.
    • vanamb16
       
      it is interesting that people would get to the point that they would correspond with her. I can understand why if they thought she was real, but after that, I'd think to continue would be strange
    • jc ice
       
      I think when people find a connection with someone, real or imagined, it gets in touch with something inside of them that reaches out. This maybe is the whole point of cyberspace, to reach outside of who we are and try to connect on a difference level
  • ithin 48 hours, the video had half a million views.
  • That couldn't have happened on television. A conventional TV episode airs once at a certain time; even if it's great, it can only serve to attract viewers to future episodes. On YouTube, a video can be streamed at any time.
    • hughes27
       
      This is a good point. I never thought about how youtube videos are basically in the hands of its viewers
    • coffma46
       
      Yes many of the YouTube videos show what work and what doesnt work according to how good the video is.
  • The good ones are watched again and again, sending a clear message about what works and what doesn't. When "My Parents Suck …" broke 500,000 views, Beckett and Flinders realized this wasn't just an experiment or a setup for a film.
    • Melissa Foster
       
      It's amazing how addicting things like this are. Even though people have already viewed the "episode," they return to it. Maybe they're hoping to find out more about her? Perhaps it became part of the investigation into who she is. To me, it's a little reminiscent of releasing DVD versions of television shows.
  • Meanwhile, the online celebrity started spilling over into the real world. Rose was browsing for a book in Santa Monica after "My Parents Suck …" was posted and noticed two girls watching her closely. That night, Amanda received an email from a fan: "Hi Bree. My friend and I thought we saw you at the Barnes & Noble in Santa Monica, but it couldn't be you, right?"

  • The editing was too sophisticated and the music too well integrated,

      This was the only aspect that threw me off from thinking it was real.
  • IN EARLY SEPTEMBER, MATTHEW FOREMSKI, the 18-year-old son of a Silicon Valley tech reporter, dug up an old version of Rose's MySpace page. She'd deleted it when she became Bree, but Google cached a copy, and Foremski posted the link to his father's blog. Within 48 hours, The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and a slew of TV stations ran the story. The jig was up.

      This just goes to show how the idea of privacy has changed in a technology-oriented society. As Vaidhyanathan talks about in his article, we can always be tracked somehow given the technologies we use daily.
    • jc ice
       
      This idea of always being tracked just makes me nervous. I am such a private person when it comes to certain things. I will tell you 90% of my life story, but that last 10% is mine. I think about that about that alot in relation to all of the sites that I belong to and subscribe too. They probably have more information on me than my own mother knows and there really is no way to exist without it.

    • zimmer67
       
      Who actually has the time to watch something that intently and notice the SKU number on background items in a video? that borders on obsession
    • haines64
       
      Reading up until this point, I kept thinking how creepy the creators were. Now I'm thinking they played into their target audience very well. They were able to create online videos that attracted such a faithful audience (possibly crazy with too much time on their hands as well, but nonetheless) willing to go over every detail.
    • jc ice
       
      Just goes to show you what you can accomplish with a well dressed set. Iam still so fascinated by the public's love for stuff like this. I guess it brings out the voyeurism in all of us in what many consider a safe outlet.

      Although, I am not really for what these men did, I do give them credit. They took a risk, and it proved to be revolutionary for both the Internet and You Tube. It changed the way that many people view, You Tube. They created a story which captured the lives of many audience members. This must have been a great feeling when they realized that their story was changing the world.
    • jc ice
       
      This is so war of the worlds. People assuming that what they are seeing and hearing is real because they are seeing is depicted as real. If this was on ast teeno'clock on a Thursday night we would not assume the same thing.
  • When viewers suggested that he had a crush on Bree, they changed the story line to include a romance.
    • mccrar25
       
      This is interesting, because the Internet does allow the audience to interact with the content presented. In the Lonelygirl's story, viewers were able to present all types of ideas and feelings. This, in turn, allowed them to feel connected emotionally, much more than if they watched a reality television show. This is what they believed to be a "real" person who cared about their imput and feedback.

      Now this is ridiculous. Did she not see she is losing her life to this? Come on, she's a young adult and if she plays this character on a Youtube video she has to stay home in the dark and not have a life? This is totally ridiculous! Where are her parents in all of this? Her friends? What's going on here?

      That's about the most unusual proposition available for an actress, isn't it? It's kind of hard to believe she even agreed to it at first, especially since she wasn't even paid! And even once she was, she couldn't tell? Her career changed her lifestyle, though not in the way it usually tends to for celebrities.
