In the “The Art of Watching Databases” Geert Lovink writes about Youtube and how it has become a popular Internet avenue for socializing, or in other words, a more accessible space to get your face or persona out to the rest of the world.
In “The Practice of Everyday Life”, Lev Manovich explains how mass media is turning into simply social media and nothing more.
Manovich has a point but I don't believe mass media is only directing their attention to social media. It has become the most prevalent, such as the use of YouTube like Lovink's argument, but there are still other types of media around.
