Creative Gallery ideas

As of right now, I don't know exactly what I am going to be doing for my creative gallery. I may create a group on Facebook about how the site itself has changed the way we communicate. The interesting part is that it would be discussing communication on the site through the mediums I have discussed in my essay. I may post videos of my friends using facebook and other sites like it to the group on facebook. Take pictures of all the groups that come up under a certain search and put them on the group. I have a general direction that I wanna go in, I just don't know if it would make any sense if I tried to describe it.

Research Essay

Here is a link to my essay on google docs.


I have already finished my rough draft, but I am sure that there are going to be modifications. I like how I discuss that we have used these sites as a surrogate source for friendship.

Authors on Youtube

The great thing about Youtube is that you can share videos with everyone. Anything that you find remotely interesting, funny, or something you created yourself can have an audience. People from all walks of life can post whatever they like on Youtube. Where Youtube differs from social networking sites is that, while an author on Facebook can post pictures and alter their status, on Youtube, authors can be much more creative with multimedia tools. You can see the author if they place themselves in the video, or you can get a more descriptive point of view from a video on Youtube than you can a photo or a comment or status on a Facebook account. I feel like there are more creative or artistics options available to authors on Youtube. I think the reason why Youtube is called Youtube is because you, the individual post videos and watch them much like you would on tv or "the tube".
