Tube-ing
by Peter Bradwell
We've digested a lot of online video over the past 9 months. Yes, there's a lot of nonsense. But there's a lot of cracking content out there. Here's just a couple of videos I've enjoyed:
The web is us/ing us
Dr Michael Wesch has some cracking videos on his YouTube channel. This is still my favourite:
EUTube
The European Union has it's own YouTube channel, and one short film really stood out. It's about careers in research. Apparently.
Bertie Ahern 'on' Dragons Den
A mash-up of Bertie Ahern's campaign speech with some decidedly sceptical responses from the panelists of Dragon's Den.
Obama
He's basically YouTube president. In a way. There are plenty of Obama videos to choose. I enjoyed this one though:
Wine gums experiment
Vlogger charlieissocoollike invested a not inconsiderable amount of effort mapping the frequency of different coloured wine gums in wine gum packs. Not as banal an event as it might seem, I think.
