It is now possible to point to a specific time in a youtube video : it’s called deep linking. It’s great news, I’ve been using viddler for that reason because it enable anyone to split a video and let people see only the part they are interested in.
To specify a point, append a tag to the end of your video link with the following syntax: “#t=1m45s”
Here is an example with one my my video. I’ve put the deeplink on 0m56 so it end up on one of my favuorite photo. Great news
Michael Wesch is famous for a few very well done video including :
I’ve watched them several time (like I did with EPIC or Shift Happens), they are a source of creativity and of resilience. Working on this ideas for more than 4 years … they always give me a boost of energy when I am down. They are the future and I am very happy with the new release of Wesch : An anthropological introduction to youtube.
Participant Observation is what i have been doing for teh last 4 years. I am not commenting the web from outside, I am a member of the invisible crowd that when populating these websites (mine including). Working mainly on what identity means… with the idea that we are a puzzle, that we are on the verge of a netocratic era, that we are a construct more than ever (less social/peer pressure) free to endorse any subculture we want, test it and adopt it or not. Social Networks when mix with content (what we call Social Objects) are a possible path for expression, true identity … and re-echanting that post-modern world the GenY refuses
I do love travelling with couchsurfing (every month), sharing and improving my photographic skills with flickr, finding book on the street …. connecting in many various ways using various plateform for the sole purpose of solving this inversion culture Wesh is talking about :
Please watch his video it’s pure genius, he talks about context collapse, Identity crisis, Editing our own stories (I would say life : the title of this blog is “I edit therefore I am“) and it’s full of very very good example of what youtube could be (discovered a few new ones).
The only thing missing is probably a list of all the links towards all the video he is quoting.
Excellent work, nitro boost for all month of august… will probably watch it at least 3 times just for the purpose of recognition ;-D
Thanks to nic for pointing it to me even my youtube subscription did it (yet another example of that social broadcasting)
Just received that email from facebook.

This thing is obviously boot generated but… 2 questions:<
Two weeks ago i received a Copyright infringement from youtube :
Nous avons supprimé ou désactivé l’accès au contenu suivant suite à une notification de Tandem Films qui a signalé qu’ils contreviennent à : How my cat wake me up: http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=gZlgU6twZ0U
I knew where I made a mistake but better than anything it make me discover the original producer of that video that I loved and uploaded but that didn’t mentioned the producer.
Conclusion: infringement on youtube makes you better, whereas on Facebook it makes your more interrogative and probably a bit dumber (because of this non knowledge)
