The strong statement that what the video makers are looking at is the webcam, and what that webcam represents in terms of a truly global audience available in our own homes. What are the key points you have learnt from this video? - That media sharing like youtube is a quickly growing medium - That entire social phases can be influenced by such action - That youtube can still be manipulated (e.g. faking, viral marketing, attention seeking etc.) - That it provides a very large audience for a very low cost - That it makes it a lot easier to try and get your message across to the world - That electronic communication is breaking down the walls and barriers between people (the world is flat) What is most memorable about this Video?

Came across it earlier in the week - was it via twitter?- and I am working with it right now to use parts of it in a workshop tomorrow with Cluster Lead Teachers and it will become part of their professional 'reading' for this next round. Having Lonely Girl in it helps with our Kiwi audience too :) I appreciated some of the comments on YouTube along the lines of "... I thought this was a long video so I would give it 5 minutes to get the idea, but I was quickly hooked and watched the whole thing...". That was how it was for me too. Couldn’t agree more.
