Crowdsourcing - The Hopes and Fears of Youtubers

Crowdsourcing is a small installation piece looking into the motivation behind various youtubers.

By using the City of Edinburgh as a metaphorical model for the Youtube community and by displaying peoples reasons for youtubing within this I hope to display some of the hopes and fears of the video uploaders and also to help me to better understand the motivation behind frequent youtubers and to form opinions on the crowdsourcing phenomenon.

Featured youtubers :

Well can I ask you why you are still on? Perhaps in another video response? Who knows... you may find it helpful to consider it again :D

Thanks for featuring me in your video! Well, a lot has changed since I made the video your featuring. I find myself going on YouTube once a month rather than everyday! New personal commitments :( But it's still a great way to meet great people :)

lol well there was more to my video than just the "big head" clip that you used, but I had fun doing that, and it seems to fit well in this collage of youtubers opinions. So I don't mind, and thanks for deeming it worthwhile to be included. This was a very good compilation, interesting to see the points of views of some very fine folks.

Well, thanks for including me in this intreaging video. In the clip you used I talk more about other people's motovations than my own. I would say that I am motovated by a desire to share ideas and influnce people as well as have some fun sharing and interacting with others.
