I saw a vid on some video site (YouTube, DailyMotion, Imeem) and this brought me into contact with the vidding community.
This is not a criticism, but I found it interesting that the only option of how one became involved in vidding by seeing other people's fanvids was then followed by "on some video site (YouTube, DailyMotion, Imeem)." I'm sure since you're studying this subject that you're probably aware that fanvids have a much longer history than YouTube (and other streaming video sites) and even pre-date the internet--really since the 1970s. And when the internet did come about were originally distributed on it by people's individual websites (that's how I discovered them). YouTube/streaming is a very recent component to vidding. I hope I don't sound condescending, I just wasn't sure you were aware of this by the phrasing of the multiple choice options.
Anyway, the site sounds like it will be interesting. Good luck with your project! :)
