Video responses
As I was wandering around YouTube tonight, actually checking out an interesting explanation of Web 2.0, I noticed that it was tagged as a “video response” to another video. Now, that video was fairly bland and filled with a lot of exposition, while the one my friend recommended was much more interesting.
But it’s the response that I truly found interesting. The idea that people would tape (can I say that? what’s the right verb here?) themselves talking for four minutes in response to watching a video. The method truly turns the posting of videos into a conversation. A decidedly different conversation where the response needn’t actually address the video it is responding to with the added comments to it.
