The video is unimportant. The paper is awesome. Even my English degreed eyes picked up nothing awry. Good job.

Oh geez, how did I miss that? No, they haven't done it for a year or two, at least.

Heh, nice - I used at least 3 or 4 of those sources (not counting the 'Org ones) in my thesis...

Good stuff!

very well written. i like how clearly and detailedly you described the social nature of the website, which is itself vague and sometimes ambiguous (with all the splinter social groups since OT - irc, journals, anime forums, donators forum, general forums)

content was good too. kind of a lot covered on the website (does the reader need to know how video opinions, upload process are done?). but good stuff on editors motivations- i do believe any editor, whether she denies it or not, that shares her videos is to some degree motivated by recognition (fame might be too strong a word). which isn't a bad thing at all, i think that's part of the social nature of being human and being able to communicate. on the other hand, some creators can become more popularity hungry than commercial artists, because that's all we can gain, whereas successful commercial artists that don't end up famous still end up with a bigger wallet.

True, but then again I still feel the assertion that the consequences are much greater for a failed commercial project is valid. It's a difficult subject to discuss since it's theoretically so relative.

For org members I can see the section describing the org's functionality as being extremely tedious and unnecessary, but it was required in order to give my professor as great an understanding as possible of how the org utilizes web 2.0 technologies for any form of interaction. If it had been an independant project I probably would've toned that part wayyyy down, but it worked within the parameters of the class.
