      This is interesting because i have seen this video before but im not sure why or how i came around to watching it but its interesting.
  • And there they are, in the bedrooms and dorms and cubicles of the world, uploading their asses off, more than 65,000 times a day on YouTube alone.

      This is true. About 2 years ago, i wouldnt beable to say anything about youtube, but now it has expanded and it seems like everyone is making or viewing videos.

      Youtube is re-discovering fame. Who needs agencies when you can publically display yourself and your "talents" on the web. Youtube is re-defining fame and misfortune
  • The price tag for YouTube, just to put the investment in perspective, is what Target paid for 257 Mervyns department stores and four distribution centers in 13 states, and just a bit more than WPP Group paid for the Grey Global Group advertising network with 10,500 employees in 83 countries generating $1.3 billion in revenue. Those, of course, are both profitable enterprises with vast fixed assets.
    • Elizabeth Somer
       
      This is unbelievable. I can't believe how far Youtube has come. It has truly exploded. It's like what the video we saw on the first and second days of class: "We live in exponential times"
  • 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.
    • Jennifer Dougherty
       
      This is too strange. Who thinks to do this? Why? And why are we watching? It surely takes dedication to take a picture of yourself everyday for 6 years. I think it would be a good idea to do with a newborn.

Wired 14.12: The Secret World of Lonelygirl - 0 views

  • Lonelygirl15 wouldn't exist without the explosion of broadband and the advent of YouTube – and partly by the appeal of a hybrid form of storytelling. Lonelygirl15 is a mashup of homemade video diary, soap opera, and mysterious, hint-laden narrative like Lost.
    • Heather Wenzel
       
      I really like these two senteces. It shows how much technology has changed, while also showing the genres that society finds intrigueing. YouTube is the new way to watch "television" and and they even compare Lonelygirl15 to Lost. It is amazing how far we have come.
  • 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.
    • Heather Wenzel
       
      The Internet is considered Public Domain, however, instances always seem to arise when something controversal is added. Lonelygirl is definately a controvesal idea and I have to credit Flinders and Beckett for seeking legal advice.
  • Goodfried's advice was simple. "If anyone asks point-blank if you're real, don't answer the question," he said. "Don't lie to people. The answer is no answer. In my mind, it's the equivalent of not lying. But if people talk to Bree like she's Bree, that's fair game."
    • Heather Wenzel
       
      This advice seems a little awkward. They are not lying, but will people very believe it is real with no answer? I understand that doing this will get them out of any legal bind, but is there still a way that they can come under fire by doing this?

  • 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
    • Heather Wenzel
       
      I believe this is why YouTube and other Internet Videos are so popular and in demand. Our society has become a very fast pass society where instant gratification is a norm. Becuase YouTube's videos can be viewed every day and any time, they make a great for great entertainment, at your fingertips and there is no waiting.
  • It's a concept that the Internet portals understand better. "Yahoo says it wants to be the network of the 21st century," Beckett says. "And we're the production company of the 21st century."
    • Heather Wenzel
       
      Very interesting- it all comes back to technology and what is in demand. Everyone, wants to be "up-to-date" with the "new fads" and this shows how society truly is. We are in the 21 century and everyone wants to show and prove that they are there too.

      It is important for students, especially wiriting arts majors, to know that writing is a technology. Writing starte dout as a form of math and a way to kee track of trading goods. This system was th number system that evolved into pictures and then into words. As far as the physical aspects of writing being a technology, we have to look at how technologyis notsomething thats instilled in us; its not something we have an erge to; its something that is dependent on something else, in order to work. Sort of like a remote controll, it depends on batteries to work.

    This article is on why people blog and the effects of blogs. What I got from this article is that people who blog are actually just community builders. Now blogs may not be your traditional communities where there are a group of diverse people thrown together, and are forced to cope with one another. Blogs are more of a community that is built off of common interest, and the only people who blog this blog are people wh share those interest.
