Creativity

What part of new media doesn't foster creativity?

New media has made it possible, for pretty much everyone, to let out their own creativity. From comedy video on youtube, to music mixing and editing, to making short YouTube videos, to this thing that I am currently posting on-ehem- Blogs.

I have been blogging for a long time now and I have never seen more creativity then I do within this world.  There are blogs for writing, commenting, photography, lifestyle, cooking, whatever you want you can find. And there are also the people who create the templates for blogs and website designers.

But I think one of the biggest and greatest outlets for creativity is YouTube.In "I Tube, You Tube, Everybody Tubes" it says that " YouTube, the world's largest UGC site, serves 100 million distinct videos and 65,000 uploads daily."   Go on YouTube and the world is in front of you. The other day I learned how to use iMovie software on YouTube.  You know how much creativity is fostered in 100 million videos?

Take a look at this...

Or if you prefer something a little more well eclectic...


Two different video. Both very creative and both on the same site.

Of course there are also the videos that Brooks Barnes talks about in his Article which are people doing mash-ups with already well known things; like disney.  To take a show, movie, song, etc, that people know and basically rip it apart - and very well- is just incredible.

New media is a great for people looking to get themselves out there. Whether it is a blog, fred-like youtube video, or some song mash-ups and parodies.

New media is bursting at the seems with creative minds.
