Online Video Publishing Tool Exploited To Present Non-Linear Narrative [684]

Users of the online video publishing tool YouTube are using the environment to discuss the events of their unfolding relationship. They are exploiting the response/reply aspect of the tool to create a dialogue of video exchanges. The two protagonists Bree and Daniel discuss their problems (generally centred on their ideological differences: Bree is Christian and Daniel is not) while their commentators look on and respond through their own video responses. The constellation of user responses is redefining the publishing and community aim of the tool into a platform for evolving ad–hoc personal narratives that in this case centres on teenage angst and intrigue.
