Hi, I've been working on a two-year ethnographic study of video bloggers on and off of YouTube. I have written several articles and blog posts about it. Here are some samples: Publicly private and privately public: social networking on YouTube, Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication, 13(1), October 2007.

URL: http://www.epic2007.com/Draft-EPIC2007-Proceedings.pdf The vulnerable video blogger: Promoting social change through intimacy The Scholar and Feminist Online, 5(2), Spring 2007, URL: http://www.barnard.edu/sfonline/blogs/lange_01.htm You can find some additional blog posts I have written on my video blog: anthrovlog.com Also, if you go onto YouTube and type in the search term "anthrovlog" you will see I have a play list of open video fieldnotes I have made from meet-ups I have attended. Good luck with your project, Patricia G. Lange, Ph.D. Postdoctoral Fellow School of Cinematic Arts University of Southern California --- Aymar Jean <ajean@asc.upenn.edu> wrote:
Hello everyone:
I'm writing a few papers on YouTube - using a qualitative approach, including interviews with vloggers and analyses of videos - and I was wondering if anyone knew some key sources on YouTube, other online video sites (including live ones like Justin.tv) and earlier webcam communities. I know someone on here was writing on webcams, and I think some web journals have addressed the issue at length.
Does anyone know of any books or articles on these topics? Perhaps someone could be willing to share a bibliography?
Thank you!
