Searching for this for some time now - i guess luck is more advanced than search engines :D

[SimonRichardMasters]

I am so pleased for you. I have been seriously challenged by the questions you ask, and moved by the way you ask them.

[Kire667]

Ah sweet. You remind me of Andrew Christopher Gower -- one of the most successful business makers in UK forming the largest free online role-playing game -- RuneScape.

Congratulations

[kfhurley]

I am blown away by your work. I have watched all your videos and am blown away! I have never thought about YouTube in the way that you describe it. I have a background in Health/Medical Informatics yet I have not appreciated the capacity/capability of our digital world. I hope to see more of your work online and wish you more well-deserved achievements, continued teaching and funding!

[rogerdodgeraviation]

Well deserved. Thank you for all that you do.

[bgomez1201]

I hope I could meet a professor like him in my current university.

[happilyjaded]

Oi, I took intro to anthropology and crap was it the worst course. Too big, the prof went on tangents...it completely removed any interest I had. Its good to see my experience was isolated to my uni.

[JOIT2BE]

He'll be in the history books, I would like a teacher like him....

[me5telef]

[natraehor]

You dont know me but I go to community college in san diego; my anthro prof. had our class write a response to your "vision of students today" video. Ever since seeing it, I've watched a bunch of videos related to you &your students & am amazed at how intrested I already am & I had no idea what anthropology even was a month ago, just that I had to take it to transfer. Anyway, you're an amazing professor, I wish you the best of luck with whatever else you've got planned to teach. Congratulations!

[Psychologye]

Congratulations Dr. Wesch.

[elight07]

Congratulations.

Thank you for sharing it with us, the online community.

[3GO3US]

keep with your great work! i´ll hope to see more of your interesting videos

[Sabu632]

Professor Wesch,

You have done an amazing job linking the world of Anthropology to a global community through this medium of the internet. As a student of this field, and one who finds it increasingly more difficult to learn when professionals cannot keep pace with such new technology, you have inspired many and I commend you for it. Even your notion of the social experience in grocery shopping has got me thinking. (Hierarchy/customer communication, etc...) Don't ever stop asking questions.

[johnbrownrv]

Congratulations Dr. Wesch!

I was really impressed of your videos and your ideas. How can I get into your class?

Many greetings from Germany.

Markus

[liamj0nes]

Dr. Wesch.

I wish to offer my most heartfelt congratulations for winning this award. You deserve it.

Your videos have helped change lives and shape public discourse over the web and all of the issues around it.

You sound like the proverbial "pebble in the pond" who touches and shapes the lives of all the people around them.

There is no higher honor then hearing you have touched lives, and you have done just that.

Congratulations and keep on making these fantastic, thoughful videos.

[patelvishrut89]

Congratulations professor!Just like everybody says, you deserve it! I would like to add something... I took your class in Fall '08. And I have to say that you succeeded to make me ask new questions! This might be funny but that was my first sem. in the States and your experiences in P.N.G. helped me a lot to understand the ways to adopt a totally new culture!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all those wonderful moments... during the semester, that I will never forget!

:)

[f33d4ward]

<3 & =)

[skellenb]

congratulations! i was in your class in fall '07 and enjoyed every minute of it...even though it was at 8:30 in the morning, the earliest class i have taken in college :)

[mwesch]

Interesting that YouTube linked your comment "at 8:30" to the non-existent 8:30 mark in my video. Now I need to test this. What happens if I put 4:30 in here, does it link to 4:30 in the video above?

[mwesch]

Wow, that's a nice new feature I didn't know about.

[skellenb]

that is really cool. i didn't know about that either.

[Kire667]

@mwesch YouTube itself has come a far way from the early years. I signed up in mid year 2006 and have seen it changed many times over. Through good updates and bad. They took the community away from the users and made it centered around "promoted videos" and "partnerships" to get any views or top listed. They even gave cash to video makers of this magnitude through helping fund the community here at YouTube rather than only relying upon advertisement for the profit and stability.

[VanMedia]

@mwesch interesting, i didn't know about this feature until now too lol

[yanayahya]

congrats! =)
