<p class=""><span class="" lang="EN-US">An important hallmark in
the research into online video, <em class="">Videoblogging
Before YouTube</em> offers a cultural history of online
video, focusing on the critical moment when the internet moved
from being a mostly textual medium to a truly multimedia one.
Through a close analysis of the early videoblogging community
and their creative practices, Trine Bjørkmann Berry argues
that early in the new millennium a new cultural-technical
media hybrid emerged. </span><span class="" lang="EN-GB">which
created innovative media forms that have been highly
influential on YouTube and other audio-visual media forms such
as film and television</span><span class="" lang="EN-US">. </span><span
class="" lang="EN-GB">Through an ethnographically-informed
approach to the cultural history of the videoblogging
community, the book examines their practices, which were
mostly small-scale, self-funded and bottom-up, and truly
experimental. </span><span class="" lang="EN-US">The
aesthetic, technical form and content</span><span class=""
