[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoZV-BtJjXw[/youtube]Henry Jenkins, the writer of this blog is an American Media Scholar and is currently teachin at USC. He writes this blog to express his veiws on the media and social media networks. This particular article is about youtube and the direction in which he believes it is heading. Since this blog article is over five years old, it is a little easier to comment on it and tell if hhis predictions were right. He gives 9 propositions as to what direction he thinks YouTube is heading. Along with each proposition he breifly explains what he means by that and the reasons for it. The two reasons i like are numbers are numbers 4 and 5 because i find tem to be kinda simililar. In these two points he talks about how YouTube is going to be shared through other social media sites to get the videos seen by more people. I know from experience that facebook is a very easy way to share and upload videos so that all of your friends can see it. Many people wouldnt come across the same thing on YouTube as you, but if you find a video and share it, many more people would be likely to see it because it would show up on their news feed. In his fifth point he talks about how many things wouldnt be seen if people didnt have cameras phones and werent able to upload them to sites like YouTube. Then these videos get shared through sites like Facebook and get seen by many more people than they would have.
