The Internet has a Face

Collage of vlogger videos showing the humanity in YouTube. Draft version.

I made this though inspiration of a few vloggers and vlog trends I have seen, including video responses, outtakes, humor, and the ability to open up on camera. Thank you to all who have graciously allowed their videos to be used.

I am part of a team of researchers doing an ethnography of YouTube culture for a class at Kansas State University taught by Dr. Michael Wesch (mwesch). We are creating a video documentary of YouTube that will be posted to YouTube at the conclusion of our research. We will also be writing papers and giving conference presentations on this research. To see our work in progress, visit our blog at http://mediatedcultures.net/ksudigg. If you have any questions or concerns you may contact Dr. Michael Wesch at mike.wesch@gmail.com or Dr. Rick Scheidt, Chair, Committee on Research Involving Human Subjects, 203 Fairchild Hall, Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS 66506, (785) 532-3224.

Thank you for allowing me to use parts of your video! Your part added such a human touch, and that element of compassion...as do all of your videos and subscribers. You are a great example of the sensitivity in youtube.
