Youtube Guide to Amateur Video Part 1 CS edition Paul Springer

This is the first in depth guide to the vast underground of amateur video on Youtube. We carefully avoid sleazy and sexually oriented material. This is not another dull guide to using Youtube. It is the most comprehensive guide to non-adult amateur Youtube video ever made. It is really a reference guide for those who want to tap the depths of the underground there. Some say Youtube is no longer the cutting edge in video sharing - overshadowed by Hulu, Facebook, and many others. But what people don't realize is that it has an incredible archive of human experience. The amateur postings from many years reflect a generation of youth culture. Using massive content analysis of 75,000 files over a one year period, I have sought to filter through the non-sexual amateur postings to reveal the skeleton underneath. This is not revealed by a careful search of the Youtube or Google database. If anything, Youtube purposely hides most of the amateur content to protect the privacy of the members. Youtube offers no guide which is balanced or shows this underground. For commercial postings, it is quite the opposite.
