Researching YouTube - the video presentation

written by on October 30th, 2009

It’s not every day you find an hour long video on YouTube that’s worth watching.  In fact, I think is is probably the first for me.  Michael Wesch, an Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology at Kansas State University, put up a video on YouTube of a live presentation he gave based on the work he and his students had done on the anthropology of YouTube.  If you’re like me and really interested in the history of YouTube and the complexities involved in why it works so well in getting people famous online, then you might actually find it worthwhile to spend 56 minutes watching it too.  It’s always good to know more about the history of whatever it is you’re trying to master. :-)
