YouTube

It's pretty cool that people can gain so much exposure by simply posting videos on YouTube. I thought it was really interesting when we talked about FunTwo in class and how he was able to get so much exposure by simply video taping himself playing guitar. He was offered multiple record contracts as a result. People even tried to emulate him so that they could get a record contract posing as him. Also, the LonelyGirl15 videos gained huge popularity. These videos were started very simply by amateurs, and they led to the main character being on a television show. I just think that it's crazy that these two examples show just how significant the internet is and how big of an effect it has on people. These two examples got hundreds of thousands of hits online, because they were clearly loved by people. It's great that there is no need middleman, the professional media, in some instances.
