Wired 14.12: The Secret World of Lonelygirl - 0 views

  • Rather, she'd research an emailer's MySpace page and ask questions about their life. They responded enthusiastically and helped spread the word about the amazing new YouTube vlogger named Bree

      OMG, how crazy is that?!?! I'm surprised no one else has commented on this particular part. I can't believe Amanda looked up people's myspace pages. My page is private but it still makes me skeptical. Maybe I should delete my myspace and facebook. Who wants people to know everything about them?

  • Plus, to fully harness the medium, they intended to carry on email correspondences with YouTubers while posing as Bree. In short, they were planning to exploit the anonymity of the Internet to pull off a new kind of storytelling, and they worried they were on shaky legal ground.

      It didnt even cross my mind at first that this may not be legal. If the men were so worried that it would be illegal, maybe it should be. I mean they were trying to pretend to be a 15 yr old girl and talk to people. Not only are Hollywood movies known to be fictional, none of the characters hold conversations or email its viewers. I think that underneath the video it should have stated this is not a true person, everything you have seen is fictional, or something of that nature.

Wired 14.12: YouTube vs. Boob Tube - 0 views

  • Everyone, in the back of his mind, wants to be a star," Hurley asserts for probably the quadrillionth time, "and we provide the audience to make it happen. "
    • Joan Vance
       
      I find it amusing that Hurley mentions this. We actually discussed this in Creative Writing on Monday. The teacher asked who in the classroom wants to be famous. To my surprise there were only a few of us who raised our hands. As much as I want to be a star though, I wouldnt find posting a video on youtube very successful.

  • Or try the accurately titled "Noah takes a photo of himself everyday for six years." A time-lapse documentary of Noah Kalina over 2,356 days, it's a little thin on plot, but it nonetheless racked up more than 3 million views in six weeks.

      This was probably the worst video I've ever seen. I can not believe 3 million people actually watched it. How boring. I tried to think of how it would be if I were to take a photo everyday and I think I would actually try to look good for each one and maybe switch up hairstyles and makeup.
  • You'd better also see "Numa Numa," which stars a chubby young man in his New Jersey bedroom lip-syncing to an insipid but weirdly fetching Romanian pop song

      HAHA...That video was actually funny. I actually saw this one before. I don't watch many you tube videos so I was surprised to see one in this article that I have seen before. I have always wondered do people get paid if their video gets viewed a certain amount of times?
  • "If you aren't posting, you don't exist," says Rishad Tobaccowala, CEO of Denuo, a new media consultancy. "People say, 'I post, therefore I am.'"
    • Joan Vance
       
      I didn't even know what a blog was until last semester when I had to do them for Intro to Advertising... according to Mr. Rishad Tobaccowala I didnt exist. Maybe I still dont exist in his eyes because I have never posted anything on Youtube, I barely watch the videos. I can not believe how serious people are these days about the internet. IDK maybe I am missing something....but reality is not inside the computer.
