presented at the Library of Congress, June 23rd 2008. This was tons of fun to present. I decided to forgo the PowerPoint and instead worked with students to prepare over 40 minutes of video for the 55 minute presentation. This is the result.more info: http://mediatedcultures.net0:0...

I read about this in NY Times magazine at the work today and it smashed my expectations. Excellent work.

Thanks. It's good to see that the Library of Congress recognizes how significant this change in communication really is. (I still like printed books too, though...)

how do you get videos that long

you gotta start somewhere. Just curious what video editing software was used here?

this video really spoke to me. got me to start posting some videos of my own....not many viewers yet though...

Youtube and the web in general have liberalized our global society; whereas in WW II people where using hidden radio's to contact faint rogue broadcasts, this form of user generated content enables me, you, us, as a global community, to keep expressing opinion. The internet does not just allow freedom of expression, it hosts and promotes it, making sure that it will never fade. It is because you cannot stop it that it is so effective!An amazing invention.

watching this for 55 mins plus has made me feel spaced out, not used to such long vids on here. was entertaining, thanks.

This is fabulous! I knew that picking YouTube as a focus for my dissertation research was a going to be fun!

let's think about this though; what about the double videos people upload, as in the videos that are on youtube twice because people just feel like posting them again for whatever reason? that's not exactly new content.
