Anthropologist Michael Wesch gave a thoughtful and engaging talk on 'An anthropological introduction to YouTube' to the Library of Congress earlier this year and, rather appropriately, it's available online as a video on the popular video sharing site.
Wesh runs a digital ethnography project which looks at how cultures form and operate on the net.
The project's blog is also full of fascinating insights and is well worth checking out if you thought anthropology was only ever about people who don't have electricity.
