OMG ... I'm a YouTuber!

Well, as I said, I have decided that if I am going to really understand what is happening with regard to the whole Web 2.0 and socialization, I need to get into it. So, I have decided that participant observation is the best method for me to fully experience this phenomenon.
Therefore, I have posted my first YouTube video. It is an introduction to me and why I am doing this. I think it might be very boring for some people. However, it was intensely interesting to me!
First, it was a lot harder that I realised to video myself. There is a sense of self consciousness that it strange. I am not a self-conscious person in real life; I have spoken to groups as large as 1000 on a regular basis, but this seems different somehow.
Second, the idea that 10's of people might watch that, and some might even comment, is very intriguing. I think that this is entirely related to that sense of self-consciousness. And that is exactly what I was anticipating.
Third, just the technical aspects of shooting a video (i.e. lighting, sound, etc) and uploading it were novel. I am not unfamiliar with photography, but this is different. I like learning new things, so this was fun.
Anyway, there you go. I have my first video on-line and it was a marvelously interesting experience. I need to go think about that now.

Cheers,
