Vlogs: The Internet has a Face
Vlogging
Con YouTube, l’interazione e il networking col mondo in modo testuale ora gli si è data una faccia e una persona. Non solo per intrattenimento, il sito Web di YouTube è una piattaforma per la comunicazione mai usata precedentemente dall’utente medio prima della sua nascita all'inizio di 2005.
Da allora, questo sito Web ha ospitato non solo gli esperimenti della Mentos e della Coca-Cola, ma una rete di vloggers che hanno interazioni espressive oltre i limiti del testo. Gli utenti ora possono vedersi ed sottoscriversi l’un l’altro, allegando ai video risposte legate alla commedia e alla pietà, così come alla critica e alla conversazione.
Prima, eravamo fiduciosi su che cosa l'utente esprimesse con le parole, tuttavia, da quando si può leggere oltre alle parole con le rappresentazioni visive, la comunicazione sembra diventare più “umana e personale„.
Se ci fosse stato il timore che Internet stesse rendendo la società antisociale, il vlogging cercherebbe di risultare altrimenti. Detto ciò, il seguente video è stato creato per esplorare il contenuto e lo scopo dei vlogs, così come la rete, l’interconnettività e gli utenti rispondono tra di loro all'interno del sito Web di YouTube...

This is a slightly revised and cleaned up version of the video that was featured on YouTube in February 2007.
I considered releasing it as an "eternal beta" in true Web 2.0 style, but decided to let it stand as is and start working on future projects. Many of my future videos will address the last 30 seconds of this video (the "rethink ..." part).
Thank you all for the helpful comments on the earlier draft. It has been a great experience to connect with so many people interested in similar issues.
Once again, there are higher quality versions available for download:

So you are welcome to download it, share it, even change it, just as long as you give me some credit and you don't sell it or use it to sell anything. I received many more positive comments than negative about the song choice (great work Deus!), but if you are one of those who does not like the song just download the video and change the audio track to your liking.
The video was created by me (Michael Wesch), working alone from my house in St. George, Kansas. I used CamStudio for the screen captures and Sony Vegas for the panning/cropping/zooming animations. Someday I might make a video tutorial for those who are interested.

Copyright...sempre più Copyright
Fair Use & Diritto di Panorama
Gli amministratori della biblioteca on-line più famosa del mondo Wikipedia e Wikipedia Commons hanno deciso la cancellazione di molte foto di opere di architettura contemporanea e moderna a causa del diritto d'autore (vedi articolo di P.I.).
Il Senatore Mauro Bulgarelli (da tempo ormai dedito alle questioni legate al Copyright) ha presentato da poco un disegno di legge per l'introduzione del Fair Use in Italia e proporrà un disegno di legge per l'introduzione della Libertà di Panorama.
Su Punto Informatico è presente un'interessante intervista al Senatore Bulgarelli.

Network Neutrality: What It Is, Why It Is Important, What You Can Do About It
Net Neutrality (source Robin Good)
Net neutrality remains a hot topic in 2007 as the US congress discusses again around whether providing truly equal access to every publisher on the Internet will remain a fundamental right or whether those having greater financial capabilities can rule a preferred distribution highway for themselves.
The bill, known as the Internet Freedom Preservation Act, would prohibit broadband carriers from discriminatory practices such as pricing in handling traffic from Internet content, application and service providers.
The legislation would also require carriers to offer consumers individual broadband service that is not bundled with television or telephone service."
For those of you who haven't followed the issue of net neutrality until now as well as for those who are eager to learn more about the problems and consequences that adverse net neutrality legislation would bring about, here are three video clips that may just give provide the extra insight, motivation and overview you were looking for.
