> A rich and illuminating narrative of the communities, aesthetics and 
> technologies of videoblogging before YouTube. At a moment when the 
> digital media imagination seems to have been captured by corporate 
> behemoths, we need more stories like this.

> *About the book*
> In /Videoblogging Before YouTube/, Trine Bjørkmann Berry offers a 
> cultural history of online video, focusing on the critical moment when 
> the internet moved from being a mostly textual medium to a truly 
> multimedia one. Through a close analysis of the early videoblogging 
> community and their creative practices, she argues that early in the 
> new millennium a new cultural-technical media hybrid emerged. This 
> coalesced around the short-form digital film whose aesthetic, 
> technical form and content is a predecessor to, and anticipator of our 
> current media ecology.
>
> *Author*
> Trine Bjørkmann Berry is a visiting researcher at the University of 
> Sussex. She publishes on online video, digital culture and aesthetics.
