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.

November 22nd, 2008 at 06:19:18 wow, when my friend sent me a 55 minute video, I gave him a hard time, saying I would never watch it... I did... very cool!!! It even has applications towards my job!
November 22nd, 2008 at 06:42:17 thank you Prof.mwesch, you provided a very good subject matter for research, I'am studying in UK from Malaysia in Film studies. It is very interesting just by this post you voluntarily became my lecture, that plays a part in my education. great insights
November 22nd, 2008 at 07:05:16 Wow That was awesome. I do think an anthropological point can be made regarding people like myself who do not own a video camera of any kind, and are meerly watchers and 'favorite'ers, forced to reply only in the 'text comments' box... A purer YouTube audience? Just my thoughts :)

November 22nd, 2008 at 10:32:07 hey quick question, this is for anthropology but how do you guys think youtube, specifically the comment area is significant to the youtube experience i mean do you anticipate reading other ppl's comments? or getting into discussion?
