Simon Pope CCS seminar - participation

Participation is using the involvement of others (society) within an existing
project.giving their own information on the subject and contributing and having
some involvement in the existance of the project.This is greatley used on youtube
where a peer can add their own video footage of a particular subject for example
a recording of a band playing live. This information can then be freeley viewed by
the world and can also be updated by another persons footage thus creating a chain
like a network a social network that has the resonsibility of the users to keep alive
without the involvement or participation of others youtube would not be what it is
today.Youtube along with the internet itself is one of the fastest growing networks in the world and has enormous credibility because of the social aspects of this.

companys are starting to invest in the social power that is youtube by advertising their products on you tube because of the network that is growing in numbers every day.its this power that is opening up the future of participation.
