...different approaches to the study of YouTube, narrative analysis is presented as a possible means of understanding YouTube. Findings – Some preliminary evidence is presented by discussing several YouTube videos. These indicate that YouTube content can be better understood as stories, rather than example of other approaches, such as visual analysis, media studies, videography, and others. Research limitations/implications – From the analysis conducted, preliminary managerial implications can be drawn. It seems unlikely that normal TV broadcasters will be substituted by YouTube videos. For the most part, YouTube content draws its sense and shared meaning from the major TV shows and series. The discursive nature of YouTube is also an indication of how to deal with this new medium as a company or researcher. Originality/value – The paper is an attempt to open up new applications of interpretive market research in the form of narrative analysis. It explores a new context that is gaining relevance in both the marketing literature and...

...NOTE: This PDF document has a handy set of “bookmarks” for it, which are accessible by pressing the Bookmarks tab on the left side of this window. ***************************************************** We are the last. The last generation to be unaugmented. The last generation to be intellectually alone. The last generation to be limited by our bodies. We are the first. The first generation to be augmented. The first generation to be intellectually together. The first generation to be limited only by our imaginations. We stand both before and after, balancing on the razor edge of the Event Horizon of the Singularity. That this sublime juxtapositional tautology has gone unnoticed until now is itself remarkable. We're so exquisitely privileged to be living in this time, to be born right on the precipice of the greatest paradigm shift in human history, the only thing that approaches the importance of that reality is finding like minds that realize the same, and being able to make some connection with them.

...新浪微博：涵张 weibo.com/rickyhanzhang 序言 序言（一） ——陈起永 “打入” 在我看来， 张涵是中国托福考生的宝贝， 因为他是稀有的甚至是迄今仅有的真正 美国 ETS 托福出题组内部的中国大陆人。凭借他出色的口语和美式思维方式，张涵成为参 与托福出题的中国人，这即使在美国所有的常春藤盟校（包括张涵的母校宾夕法尼亚大学） 及其他美国大学的中国留学生中也是前无古人的创举。 张涵对于中国托福考生的价值就在于，他了解出题者的思路，因为他就是口语考题的 出题者；他了解答题的思路，因为很多答案的得分点是他参与制定的；更为重要的是，他的 思路与其他出题者的思路是一致的。因此，张涵对参加托福考试考生的指导，是绝对权威的。 为了让更多的中国托福考生能够取得好成绩，我一直建议张涵出一本书来惠及更多的 中国学生。由于与 ETS 有保密约定，因此张涵不能透露任何他所出过的题目，但这本书， 却是张涵想到的两全其美方案的结晶：一方面，在这本书中张涵没有透露任何的自己有参 与出题的题目；另一方面，张涵用出题者的逻辑和思路为中国学生提供了新的视角。 在我看来，这本书对学生的价值，就好比哈佛商学院提倡的案例教学法对于其学生的 价值。我的一位哈佛商学院的教授说过，他并不能代替企业家或者职业经理人去更好地经 营企业，他可以告诉我们的只是其他企业是如何成功和失败的案例。 因此，我一直习惯性地把张涵的这本书对托福考生的指导意义与哈佛商学院之案例教 学法对企业家和职业经理人的指导意义进行类比 . 但仔细思考之后，我又坚信张涵的这本书 对托福考生的指导意义要远远大于哈佛商学院之案例教学法对企业家和职业经理人的指导 意义，因为要做好一个企业，仅仅跑到哈佛商学院去学习是远远不够的，而要参加托福口 语考试，就像这本书的名字一样，“看这本就够了”。 III 托福口语看这本就够了 序言（二） ——程来川（猴哥） 一周托福口语提高 6 分的奇迹 猴哥有一个学生，托福 95 分，其中阅读 27、听力 25、写作 25，但是口语 18 分。这个 时候，离申请前最后一次托福考试的时间只有一周 . 很明显，口语拖了他的后腿，托福如果 不到 100 分，大量的学校将不能申请 . 这个时候我能想到名字只有一个，“张涵”！也许 , 只有他能创造奇迹 . 4 个小时的 1 对 1 课程，让学生的托福口语成绩 , 发生了无法想像的变化 . 第一个小时，发现问题，帮助学生建立自信。只需简单的几句，张涵就发现了学生的 问题并不是口语的发音，也不是单词，或者句式，而是没有说到正确的点子上，并且由于 长期口语考试分数低，学生对托福口语考试失去了自信。张涵通过第一个小时的课程，告 诉学生， 虽然只剩下一周时间， 但是由于问题已经找到， 而如何答题是可以短时间训练的 （并 不像口语能力 , 需要较长时间的训练），所以一定要有信心。学生按照张涵在课上所提供的 方法试着组织自己的思维和语言，结果很快找到了窍门 . 学生的自信找回来了 ! 第二、三个小时 , 张涵针对他的问题，为其制定了每个题型的答题方案和训练方法。 第四个小时 , 张涵带着学生进行了大量的训练和纠错，并且为其安排了课程结束之后 几天的训练计划 . 与此同时 , 正确的考试心态也是他讲解的重点 . 学生自信满满的结束了四 个小时的课程。 一周后的托福考试，这个学生考了 107 分，其中口语是 24 分，一周提高了 6 分。这是 ...
