Youtube is something that is an everyday tool that I use. There's almost always at least one youtube clip that is forwarded to me by a friend, either a serious one, an interesting one, more likely a funny one. My friends have started a blog that consists of youtube clips they find funny. And often, for at least an hour before my friends and I go out, we compete (unofficially) for who has the best youtube clip to show.
Most of the videos we watch aren't exactly what I would call deep. Most of them are humorous, and not interesting like many of the performance art clips that G.H. showed during his lecture. However G.H.'s discussion of the "youtube slam" that is reminiscent of what my friends and I do when we hang out, but on a larger, more organized fashion. It excited to me that there was a way to make something like youtube, which can easily be criticized for a considerable amount of trash that is posted, is also be able to be used constructively, even artistically.
