Artifact #6

This video is very interesting, i wasn't sure what to expect after the beginning when the guy had a random outburst it seemed like and started screaming. 4chan sounds like quite the website from what I've just heard. Its amazing to me how many hits a website gets mainly because it is anonymous. He mentioned that they get 780,000 posts on average a day which has to make it one of the most active websites i would think. I found it interesting that they saw the videos of the guy abusing his cat, and the forensic guys that are on 4chan were able to track the guys information down just by watching the video, then finding his myspace and where he lives so they could tip off the police. I also found it interesting that on the website there was a gathering of people that did not support scientology and they were able to form a protest on the site even though its an anonymous site. It sounds like 4chan has the potential to be a community that can put many minds together and solve a lot of problems. There is really not another website that i know of that you can get on and remain anonymous and voice your opinion like this. He also talks about he will not remove any comments or posts that are aimed at someone, because its someones opinion and if they cannot remain anonymous and voice their opinion then what is the point of the website.
