Online exhibition with 100 youtube clips that supplements the YouTube Reader edited by Pelle Snickars and Patrick Vonderau.

From the publishers blurb: "The YouTube Reader is the first full-length book to explore YouTube as an industry, an archive and a cultural form. This remarkable volume brings together renowned film and media scholars in a discussion of the potentials and pitfalls of 'broadcasting yourself'. The YouTube Reader confronts prevalent claims to newness, immediacy or popularity with systematic and theoretically informed arguments."

Online Video and Participatory Culture By: Jean Burgess and Joshua Green (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA) From the blurb: "YouTube is one of the most well-known and widely discussed sites of participatory media in the contemporary online environment, and it is the first genuinely mass-popular platform for user-created video. In this timely and comprehensive introduction to how YouTube is being used and why it matters, Burgess and Green discuss the ways that it relates to wider transformations in culture, society and the economy."

A US real estate example of integrating images with maps. I like the integration of thumbnails with the map and having multiple ways to access data. I particulary like play option which offers a predetermined viewing narrative. I have been thinking about this with what I call "map narratives" i.e. Like a screen captured version of interacting with a map. Also, like the zoom in feature related to an image or in the LP case, video. I am looking for a video to location relationship via the map.

Video of Jeff Veen's presentation, Designing for Big Data. From the post; "I describe two trends: how we're shifting as a culture from consumers to participants, and how technology has enabled massive amounts of data to be recorded, stored, and analyzed. Putting those things together has resulted in some fascinating innovations that echo data visualization work that's been happening for centuries."
