Testing Cultural Inversion

Individual and Community

What dose the word community mean to you?

* Friendships
* Relationships
* Alliances
* The government believe in the community as a part of a whole but chose to separate them self from it.
* Community Service benefits an area of land or estate were community's may be present.
* A group of people living in a particular local area.
* Community's can form around ideas as well as interests and common passions.

Online community's range around many different ideas:

Social network's - Facebook, MySpace, Twitter
Forums - Where people are allowed to exchange ideas
Video networks - Youtube, Stagvu, Veho
Online gaming - Runescape, World of warcraft

What sets aside Youtube from other online community's is its interactivity with videos, opinions that can be expressed freely, Video posts can be used as a forum for comments as well as individualism and authenticity. with all this in mind its even possible to create a persona on youtube like on online gaming and create a totally separate life giving Youtube a diverse community and truly interactive Phenomena.
