I have just been given a 'Heads Up' about a YouTube 'Video Discussion/Critique' that has been produced by some creative documentary film makers and graduate-school classmates of my son at Montana State University in Bozeman, Montana. Here is the link; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWa0l-YxvO8
These gentlemen have put together a thought-provoking video on YouTube that raises questions about YouTube and encourages viewers to join in a discussion/critique of YouTube, its roll in communications today, and and its potential value as a modern communications and media form. I encourage any and all to at least take a look at this video discussion. Some form of 'comment' registered about the film would be very helpful in getting the discussion rolling and broadening the exposure on the net. That would be helpful to the producers as well as the value of their film as a critique.
Personally, I am not much of a 'consumer' of YouTube. However, I have been referred to a few films or clips that have appeared there and I have found those to be very interesting and informative. In that sense it is a way to transfer or share information in a more efficient and convenient manner than some others. Based solely on my perception of the overall content of YouTube, I have very mixed emotions about its value or quality. I do have some philosophical views but those are not fully developed yet. (:>)

I hope you'll leave a commend with your views whether they are fully developed or not. That is part of the role of a discussion, i.e. to help you to develop your own views by listening to and evaluating the views of others, and vice versa. Your perspective of a limited consumer is especially important to broadening the discussion beyond the "experts" particularly because I think you may be in the majority.
