YouTube community rules
“Let folks know what you think. Feedback’s part of the experience, and when done with respect, can be a great way to make friends, share stories, and make your time on YouTube richer. So leave comments, rate videos, make your own responses to videos that affect you, enter contests of interest—there’s a lot going on and a lot of ways to participate here.”
Not too sure how easy it is to make friends on YouTube
YouTube reaches a billion monthly viewers, boosted by ‘Generation C’
A key thing about Gen C, identified by the Nielsen Research Group, is that unlike the Generation X and Y of the past, they aren’t defined by their age. Instead, it’s their “connected behaviour” that’s the common thread: they constantly switch between devices, are deeply engaged with online video (both for watching and creating), thrive on the community around it, and are expert “curators” – able to find the content they want.
I was intrigued by the idea of ‘community around it’….Maybe what is mean the community of users, rather than a particular group?
