One of the things that I found particularly interesting about the recent YouTube culture is the rise of reaction MV that mingles user reactions with K-POP MV. It for me is conceived as another type of UGC similar to AMV in terms of its (1) user-generated production (2) Asian culture based and (3) wide distribution through the open Internet platform. However, compared to AMV, it seems this new cultural phenomenon has not been deeply researched and explored. Thus, I wonder whether any of you can help me find more academic materials on this? P.S. I think this attractive point is also highly associated with the success of Viki for a number of reasons I addressed above.

Social Web is not a level playing field

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-18680485 There are different communities and different communities require different qualifications. Thus it can discriminate participation from the general public. Of course, I think having more choices are better than none or few but it recalls our attention that Social Web is not a level playing field and not an utopia.

콰이어트

http://www.ted.com/talks/susan_cain_the_power_of_introverts.html 한국에선 이 제목으로 나왔다. 번역도 좋고, RHK가 좋은 책 잘 낸 것 같다. Vingle은 아직 Youtube 밖에 동영상 삽입이 안 되는군=)

Why Nations Fail

http://whynationsfail.com/ I ordered this book from Amazon this morning. Happened to know Acemoglu, one of the authors, from my friends doing finance Ph.D. Though I read only the intro it's well written and the question it raises quite interesting. Why one nation fail while the others succeed and vice versa. Particularly, I am interested in knowing more about how political/economic institutions enables/constrains development in domestic as well as international level.
