<div dir="ltr">Hello,<div>Thanks for the book.</div><div><br></div><div>It is interesting to observe how the media evolution in time forays like evolution of organisms barging away from bottom-up approach to Top down control. From bottom up of micro cellulars systems to the top down of human nervous systems. The past need to be renewed with modern vigour in the age of youtube where fledging off content and deleting them at will of the controllers of media take place because of being in a centralised platform like 'youtube'. It is insightful to learn from the histories of media in sense to be judgemental about whether the development is positive or negative in varied sense. I have still just skimmed through text as is the motif of studying in information laden world, looking forward to get more from it. The nostalgia though with which this has been written should in my view be providable more than to create an archive of it but in hopes that it also creates a remixing and renewal of new forms of centralised video distribution by reviewing from perspectives of past of our becomings.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Abhishek--</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>. </div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><pre style="font-family:monospace,serif;font-size:13px;white-space:pre-wrap;border:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding:0.5em;overflow-x:auto;color:rgb(51,51,51);background:rgb(248,248,248)"><span style="border-width:0px;border-style:initial;padding:0px"><span style="border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;color:rgb(153,153,136);font-style:italic">#!/bin/perl -sp0777i<X+d*lMLa^*lN%0]dsXx++lMlN/dsM0<j]dsj</span></span>

<p><span lang="EN-US">An important hallmark in
the research into online video, <em>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 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 lang="EN-US">. </span><span 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 lang="EN-US">The
aesthetic, technical form and content</span><span lang="EN-GB"> of </span><span lang="EN-US">short-form
digital film was </span><span lang="EN-GB">an
important predecessor to, and anticipator of, our current
media ecology.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB">Trine Bjørkmann Berry is a
writer and academic whose research is at the intersection of
film theory, digital media and digital vernaculars, with
particular emphasis on video and the
internet. Bjørkmann Berry </span><span lang="EN-US">is
a visiting researcher at the University of Sussex. She
publishes on online video, digital culture and aesthetics. Her
new research examines the history and practices of the video
essay.</span></p>
