Last week in Social Media & Culture we watched a Youtube video on the Anthropology of Youtube. A social scientist decided to study the creation of culture and community online through the uploading of videos and responses to those videos. To say I was flabbergasted at the extent of drama, flaming, posting, support, and overall community created on this site is an understatement. I had only used Youtube to watch viral videos, laugh at covers of popular songs, or watch other people's funny pets do odd things. I look at Youtube a little differently now that I know there is a much deeper side than just the surface level I had been scratching.
Take a look yourself and see what you think. How do you use Youtube?
XOXO
