Notes:
- YouTube was launched on the 23rd of April 2005
- Web 2.0 is about linking people
- User-generated filtering, organisation and commentary. *User-generated content - is defined as any form of content (blogs, vlogs, tweets, posts, chats etc) created by users from an online system or service. Often made available on via social media networks.
- Anonymity - The condition of being anonymous.
- Ephemeral - lasting for a very short time.
- Anonymity + physical distance + rare and ephemeral dialogue = hatred as public performance
- Anonymity + physical distance + rare and ephemeral dialogue = freedom to experience humanity without fear or anxiety.
- Aesthetic arrest - YouTube allows you to watch someone without staring at them and making them feel uncomfortable as they can't see you watching them.
- Cultural Inversion
Express:- individualism, independence, commercialization
Value:- community, relationships, authenticity
- Connection = constraint
- Connection without constraint = people connecting deeply without guilt.
- Sometimes that distance allows us to connect more deeply than ever before.
- New forms of community create new forms of self understanding.
- Everyone is an independent producer
- Producing ourselves - re taking identity, editing our own histories, playing with identity
- gaming and exposing the internet (e.g. icon pictures/thumbnails)
- seriously playful participatory media culture
