Last week in class, we discussed Youtube and how it came about to the internet. Youtube is a program on the internet that allows someone to download their videos. In Jean Burgess and Joshua Green's Youtube article, they said that Youtube came about in many ways. One way that they said how Youtube emerged was when Saturday Night Live had a satirical sketch. The Saturday Night Live crew downloaded a video of "two nerdy, stereotypical New Yorkers rappig about buyig cupcakes and going to see Chronicles of Narnia." After readig this in the article, Youtube has been a sucess in the world today because millions of people started downloading their videos online.
In the video of the Youtube Channel, there are some people that are using camcorders to record their own videos. Some of the users in the video use Youtube as a way to contact one another. They said that they use it as a contact to collaborate with one another on videos. What seemed interesting was that they used Youtube also for "marketing and promoting" purposes. This shows that Youtube can be used in many ways, not only for videos of one's self. Youtube expanded many markets by collaboration between one market and the other. This video, itself, is a marketing and promoting video. This video gives people the idea of advertising and marketing by telling the viewer that people can use Youtube for promotional ideas.
In the reading, it says that " Youtube's apparent or stated mission has continuously morphed as a result of both corporate practices and audience use" (page 3). Both Burgess and Green mentioned this because Youtube has shaped the world into a different way of communication, job opportunities, and marketing. In the video (http://www.youtube.com/user/youtube?blend=1&ob=4) the girl mentions that she got to meet many people through Youtube, which is communication. Youtube can offer job opportunities by someone submitting there resume or interest through a video on Youtube. The two guys in the video say that they do collaborations, meaning that they collaborate on marketing. Youtube has been a hit sensation and is still one of the most viewed websites in the world.
YouTube is a great source because an individual can use it for so many different reasons. YouTube really allows an individual to spread their beliefs and meet new people. There are some spelling mistakes in your blog, which makes your blog not look as professional and credible. So by spell checking this will make your blog even better and more credible.
ReplyDeleteI would have to agree with you that YouTube can be a great source for many things. I liked your media example and how that made it relate to the professional world, which can be a place that is seemed to be left out of the YouTube conversation. YouTube can be a very professional source. Besides some spelling mistakes, I really enjoyed this blog and think it was a big improvement over your first one. Nice Job!
