Today’s communities are no longer limited to geographic proximity. Now, they seem to guided by our niche interests – whether it’s a sports team, a college, or even a shared love of bejeweled. Interestingly, I’d also wager that since these new connections are made through something with more of a personal investment, they are also more substantive.

Now, maybe I was only one of a few that grew up having Block Parties in my neighborhood, but these kind of videos always remind me of that. A group of people banding together to have a good time, only with digital media the way it is, now they band together for the purpose of having a good time while creating something. Maybe I'm crazy but community building seemed to disappear after I left middle school (mid 90's-present) and I haven't seen much of it since. People have so much to do that I think we all started taking life and our own time too seriously. Even extracurriculars in school are so serious. I love seeing videos like the Yale one and the Backwards Hall and Oates video. Seems like a fun project that gets everyone involved and in the end you create something beneficial for the entire group. I know that my cousins and I actually make videos (with our cameras and phones) when we're all together at family functions. It's fun and it gives us something to do at our grandparents house (because they have no technology driven entertainment.) These vids give a face to the whole idea of "community branding" don't they?
