YouTube in HD...almost
Sick of watching grainy YouTube videos that look like they were shot on a webcam five years ago? Me too! Luckily we have options...
Where the Hell is Matt...in standard low-def.
Where the Hell is Matt...in higher-def.
Notice a big difference? Learn how to perform this magic trick for yourself.
Even better news. If you have a YouTube account, you can click on Playback Setup (under My Account.) Select "always play higher quality video when it's available."
And just like that, you're on your way to watching higher quality videos on the world's largest video sharing site.

Oasis Goes Viral in the Subways of NYC
What better way to create viral buzz for you're upcoming album than to have street musicians perform the yet to be released tracks?
Oasis did just that when they hired 30 street musicians to debut their new tunes in the subway tunnels of New York City. Brilliant. They even created a YouTube channel where amateur musicians can upload their own version of Oasis jams.
Hats off to the British rockers. I haven't listened to these guys since Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova. But thanks to this little stunt, I might just have to check out "Dig Out Your Soul" on October 6th.
Cheers to Creativity

Anthropology & YouTube
Earlier this week Mike Wesch posted a video of his presentation at the Library of Congress in June. For those of you that may not know him, Wesch is Professor of Anthropology at Kansas State University. He is a recognized expert on Web 2.0 and particularly how it's changing the way we think about the world around us.
His presentation entitled "An anthropological introduction to YouTube" is highly insightful as both an overview on the influence of social media on global culture and communities. For any of you that are interested in social media, online communities, or just anthropology in general, I highly recommend watching the presentation below.
WARNING: Only click on the video if you're a dedicated viewer as it clocks in at about 50 minutes. Again, well worth your time. I promise.
