Effect of ubiliquity of internet video postings upon politics and society, especially the increased need for vigilence by public speakers.
"YouTubification. . . . Thanks to sites like You Tube, folk in the public eye need to be forever vigilant about what they say and do."

"And then you have the youtubifiation of the world so you're always online literally, not figurative. . . . You're going to have a whole new generation of politicians {who} are going to live under a different level of scrutinization, the likes of which none of us have ever conceived. . . . And the reality that you're either going to be more authentic or more tepid -- one or the other -- you have 2 choices."
- Gavin Newsom, San Francisco Mayor, 12/19/2008 on KFOG
