don recently pointed me to this interesting and at the same time sad video called youtubers. collected snippets of youtuber vlog’s edited by mick bianchi.

this video clip shows the personal video blogging aspect of youtube as emerging social phenomenon of the next generation internet (don’t like the term 2.0 that much). personal video blogging is a even more extroverted further step in exposing yourself to a wide public like personal diary weblogs or podcasts have shown it before – real or fake, funny or sad, smart or just dumb, pointless, pathetic or arty – it shows the whole wide range of what is going, a mirror of our society nowadays? it somewhat reminded me of this video …
(btw: youtube got acquired by google recently for $1.65 billion in stock)
