Jason Kottke links to Joe Sabia's list of 136 internet videos which he says "left some sort of impression on me since the dawn of the internet video explosion." The list is on Google Slides, which loads a bit awkwardly, which is why I'm using the Kottke link as the reference. I had seen many of the videos on the list, but many more qwere new to me. What they have in common si that they show how online video is in many ways a new medium, allowing huge swathes of creative content to exist that had never been seen before. And like Kottke, I would also add a few things - Wesch's The Machine is Us/ing Us leaps to mind, as do the hours-long hiking/biking/camping videos, as do Tiny Desk concerts, as does Joss Stone's Total World Tour, as does Where is Matt, as does the UQAM lip dub, as do fail videos and dashcams, and as do animated history videos.
