Youtube

 For the panel, I would like to represent the youtube community.

The youtube community is an interesting one in that its a fairly covert community.  On the surface level, youtube seems to be a forum for people to simply post videos which is what its original purpose was when it was founded in 2005.  Now, however, youtube has evolved into a more substantial social media outlet.  Not only do Youtubers make videos for themselves, they also make videos for their subscribers, respond to other videos that have inspired them, form collaborative youtube channels with other people who they might not have even met, etc.

I am most interested in the way that youtube has formed a definitive community without having the overt community aspects such as facebook.
