A brief summary of the service offered by Youtube
YouTube is a video-sharing website on which users can upload, share, and view videos. Three former PayPal employees created YouTube in February 2005.[2] In November 2006, YouTube, LLC was bought by Google Inc. for $1.65 billion, and is now operated as a subsidiary of Google. The company is based in San Bruno, California, and uses Adobe Flash Video technology to display a wide variety of user-generated video content, including movie clips, TV clips, and music videos, as well as amateur content such as video blogging and short original videos. Most of the content on YouTube has been uploaded by individuals, although media corporations including CBS, the BBC, UMG and other organizations offer some of their material via the site, as part of the YouTube partnership program.[3]

Unregistered users can watch the videos, while registered users are permitted to upload an unlimited number of videos. Videos that are considered to contain potentially offensive content are available only to registered users over the age of 18.

Considering material presented during the course and make comment on the potential ethical issues that may arise in this community. The biggest ethical issue facing online users of face book is posting photos of people without their knowledge and this photo then becomes the property of facebook, you have no control over your own image!

consider material presented during the lecture and make comment on the benefits this community holds over the traditional notions of community. the benefits of facebook is the on going connection you have with people you want to be staying connected to, events are posted and party invites are always available. Its easy to get in contact with people you have not seen in a long time and its a much better email interactive site.

consider material presented during the lecture and make comment what this community lacks or can not provide which traditional communities can.What facebook lacks is reality, like a lot of on-line communities people can change their photos so that they look better, change their age be younger older and the strangest thing about face-book is having friendships with people you do not know well or have never met before who in reality you would not have any contact with. In traditional communities you take people on face value rather than a modified account of someone on line.
