Hi Alex,
I have a paper coming out on the coments posted on YouTube in response to political videos.
Blitvich, Pilar G. (2010). The "YouTubification" of Politics, impoliteness and polariztion" In Rotimi Taiwo (Ed.) Handbook of research on discourse behavior and digital communication: Language Structures and Social Interaction. Hershey, PA: IGI Global.
And another paper, which is currently under review, on the responses, also posted on YouTube, to the Obama Regaeton video
Lorenzo-Dus, N., Blitvich , P. G.. & Bou-Franch, P. (under consideration). On-line polylogues and impoliteness: The case of postings sent in response to the Obama Reggaeton YouTube video.
Best,
Pilar Garces Blitvich

To anyone that can provide sources,
I am looking for any previous work analyzing the YouTube commenting system,
or research on comments in a similar online space where the commenting
system is not the primary function of the space (eg., how YouTube is videos
> comments). Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Alex

Dear Alex,
I know of a couple:
- Tubers Talk: Examining the Comments on Presidential YouTube Videos Using Dialogic Theory by Kristin Nicole English.
- Exploring the Gender Divide on YouTube: An Analysis of the Creation and Reception of Vlogs by Heather Molyneaux, Susan O?Donnell, Kerri Gibson and Janice Singer
- And of course xkcd has made brilliant comics about YouTube commenters. Here are two examples: 1, 2.
Good luck!
Best,
Lotte Belice Baltussen

At QDAP, in collaboration with personnel at the Smithsonian, we are using
Context Miner (http://contextminer.com/index.php) to harvest comments about
climate change videos on YouTube for classification classification using the
Public Comment Analysis Toolkit (PCAT - http://pcat.qdap.net/).
It turns out these two free software pieces work well together, but, we are
having to make adaptations to better leverage the meta data in the manual
annotation process. Decontextualized comments from YouTube are very tough to
code without following a complete thread though start to finish.
It seems, in this early stage of the research, that one must be fully
immersed in the cross-references between commenters to make any sense of it
at all.
Do list members have thoughts on this? Our friends at the Smithsonian are
interested in finding out what, if anything, contributes to a 'better' or
'worse' online discussion about the future of the earth. Should we ever
expect serious deliberation in such a space?

To find out who is talking to whom in these comments, you might look at the work by Anatoliy Gruzd that derives the social networks from threaded conversations. His technique uses references within the text to do more than just follow sequences of posts. See,
http://anatoliygruzd.com/home/?page_id=27
and/or
http://textanalytics.net/
He recently presented at IR 10 on analyzing blog comments.

Hello,
I have a qualitative piece on people's perceptions of different kinds of comments on YouTube. It is called "Commenting on Comments: Investigating Responses to Antagonism on YouTube" and can be found here:
http://sfaapodcasts.files.wordpress.com/2007/04/update-apr-17-lange-sfaa-paper-2007.pdf
There is also a piece in JCMC: Talking Text and Talking Back: "My BFF Jill" from Boob Tube to YouTube (p 1050-1079)
Let us know what you find out!
