I am an anthropologist conducting research on video sharing on YouTube and in the video blogging community.
See: http://digitalyouth.ischool.berkeley.edu/
Many people still argue about what a community is, and whether online groups can be communities. In asking people at SouthTube whether YouTube is a community, people provided answers that I found very interesting. If you watch closely you will see many different definitions in words and images. What do you think defines a community? Which criteria do you find most persuasive?
