I found these four videos that I have just watched to be very interesting. I never knew really about how YouTube had come to be such a huge success on the web for those who are just amitures who can post whatever they want whenever they want on the web for billions to watch over the web. how three average men could do that and have it become a huge success in such a limited amount of time is just totally amazing. It just goes to show how much of an impact technology has on ordinary people everyday, especially if you find out that what you are watching has been a lie and set up. In the situation with the set up in the vieo blogs of the supposed "lonelygirl15" blogs, as soon as the word went out that the blog was an act that was set up with actors and and a director that was over everything that was going on was all fake and made up, it made the media and the public crazy. Honesty is the best policy for putting something on the internet.
In the YouTube video about the web 2.0, I found cool because of the interesting and cool ways that technology was used to portray what was said without verbally saying anything. It just tells me that we all don't have to verbally say things in some situations, technology says it all. Which means that technology definately rules!!!!! We need to watch more and not nessacarily listen all the time.
Here is a link to a webpage that I just happened upon that gives intructions on how to get a powerpoint that you have made onto YouYube and can be shown as a video. I just thought it very interesting since we have been talking in class the ways that powerpoint can be a good technology if it is used correctly. Now just imagine your powerpoint on YouTube! Amazing the power that you would have. Great huh!

I think it's interesting that everyone in the video (talking about lonelygirl15) was so upset about the "lies" they were made to believe. I think that there's still merit to what they produced. It's just that the "truth" about what occurred on that particular blog belonged to someone other than the person seen in the videos.
Ya, I did think that it was interesting. I think that there are lots of people out there that just think that being honest is better than putting together a show for people, I guess that they feel as though they are being decieved about thte message that they are recieving since it is not fact.
