For my cybersubculture comparison, I would like to compare Qwiki and Wikipedia.
Qwiki like Wikipedia is a site that has improved the way people experience information. They emphasize storytelling rather than "searching" when you want to find out about a restaurant, person, place, etc. Unlike Wikipedia's textual online articles that explain information about a topic, Qwiki allows people to learn about topics through an interactive video that tells a story about that specific topic.
Other interesting info:
Qwiki is a new site as of last October, and was founded by Facebook's co-founder Ewardo Saverin (the nice guy from the "Social Network" who was duped by Mark Zuckerberg). The team that continually modifies and runs Qwiki are a diverse group who are from all over the world.
I love Qwiki's!
