21. More comments on video sharing.

I recieved a couple of more insights on video sharing:

 Question: Do you share videos on Facebook (such as from youtube etc.) What kinds and why?


27) I share music vidoes. One that the song touched me in some way. With the hopes it helps someone through the day.


Question for 27): when you post a song, do you attach a comment to the song?


27) Depends on the video if it made me cry I'm sure I do. If I know someone is going through something and I think it would help then I do. I guess the answer is yes I do.


28) Much like everyone else on Facebook, I share them if I think they're funny or they involve an issue that I feel passionate about


29) I don't really share them on you tube but I will tell them if I like one. It has to be funny or could be inspiring.


30) Music video's. Yes I do get comments if people them. I share the ones I like the most :)


Question for 30): Does it sometime surprise you, who comment on the videos? 


30) Yes, sometimes people comment on my music taste.  


Question for 30): Do you get surprised by what they comment, or because it is someone who doesnt normally comment? 


30) Sometimes it is someone who comments, who doesnt normally comment my video sharings.   

20. More comments on video sharing.

I received some more comments on video sharing.

Question: Do you share videos on Facebook (such as from youtube etc.) What kinds and why?


23) I do sometimes. If it is something really funny, crazy, or important. I have also shared videos of my kids when they are doing something funny or cute. This is mostly for friends and family who love my kiddos.


Question for 23): what kind of videos do you find important? can you think of a couple of examples of videos you shared, that were important to you?


23) I've shared that silly "Friday" video. I've shared a video about Mitt Romney (important politically). Several of my kids (because they are just CUTE!). I've shared one of a comedian singing about Pachebel's Canon in D.


Question for 23): did your friends comment on the videos? was it the same friends that commented on the friday video as the mitt romney video?


23):  On my videos, most of the same people "like" them; different people comment though. No one commented on the Romney video, but they did share it.


Question for 23):  have you noticed, that since you started posting videos, and it is the same people that comment, those are the ones you expect to comment the next time you post a video? Do you sometimes get surprised if somebody new pops up and comment?


23): I really don't expect comments. I do enjoy reading them, though. If it's someone new, then I guess I'm pleasantly surprised.


24) Normally the videos I share would be either funny, like silly cat tricks, or pertain to my life, such as struggling with infertility, etc.


Question for 24): ‎do people comment on your videos? Is it the same people or is it different network of friends that comment?


24) Martine, it depends on the video. If its something silly/funny, then random people reply. But if it is something pertaining to my life, like infertility, the same people tend to comment.


25) I share videos from You Tube and Vimeo. Mostly it's music videos for songs I enjoy. I like to share my finds with people in hopes that the like the artist also. It's great promotion for a band.


Question for 25): do you sometime get surprised by the feedback (if any) on the videos you post? Or is it pretty much the people you thought would comment that writes to you?


25) I do actually. Example; I'll post a song from a hard rock band only to get a comment/like from someone I always thought/assumed to be a country fan saying how much they enjoyed it. Perhaps I misjudged them, or maybe they just heard and it enjoyed it because it's new to them, but it's always surprising who will comment.


26) The only video I ever posted was of Ethan's first steps. I wanted friends and family back home to see it. And it was faster than creating a whole blog post!

18. Comments about videosharing

The last two weeks I have asked on Facebook about sharing videos. Initially I asked about audience as well, but my instructors have been encouraging to stop obsessing about audience in the questions and ask more freely to gain wider results. Below are both methods and answers revealed:


Question: Why do you share videos (Youtube) and what network comment on them? Is it the same network of friends that comment you imagined would comment, when you posted the videos?


19) Positioning.


Question for 19): According to..?


19) Just positioning in general :-)


20) If I stumble across something funny, interesting, relevant etc. Some things are targeted to a certain group more than others.






Question: Do you share videos on Facebook? Which types of videos and why?


21) Yes! Because its fun and entertaining.


Question for 21): Videos you find fun and entertaining? Do people comment on the videos?


21) Haha I'm teasing you, because you ask something new all the time. I will give you a deeper answer when I see you on Saturday :-)
