I found this article interesting because it discusses how one video can become a an important cultural event. Videos posted on YouTube are public domain and with the hundreds of videos posted on YouTube a day it is no wonder it creates a pattern in which we can study and learn from.
YouTube is used for personal and professional reasons and the article points out how YouTube lives off letting its users ‘broadcast yourself’. Viral videos get millions of hits in a short amount of time and have many spinoff videos that people will watch because of the attention they draw.
The article concludes that YouTube as a public space lets people have their lives exhibited shared and commented on. I find it interesting that ‘Bus Uncle’ set up people to respond with more videos it really emphasizes how much time people spend communicating using videos on YouTube. Of course there is also the comment section that people can communicate through too.
