I hate hearing myself talk lol so I definitely would have never "vined" myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-self-videos#post-1215953 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 14:08:03 +0000 Boogs 1215953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stupid things I don't get.

When I hear "selfie" (as opposed to, self portrait, etc, lol) I think duck face, sitting in the driver's seat pretending to drive, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-self-videos#post-1215538 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 10:55:12 +0000 Freckles 1215538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I think of selfies as a pic with only yourself. :)</p> <p>@mediagirl: Oh dear lord, don't even get me started on duck face. I think we're just old!! I don't get vine at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-self-videos#post-1215508 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 10:44:24 +0000 Adira 1215508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: I do the same - take "selfies" of me and Xander. Because otherwise there'd be no pictures of me with him!! But I definitely don't think of that as "selfie"... though I guess technically it is! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-self-videos#post-1215375 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 10:05:29 +0000 mediagirl 1215375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: oh yeah, I saw that. Duck face. Another thing I don't get. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-self-videos#post-1215358 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 09:59:43 +0000 pui 1215358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: Eh I think "Selfie" means any time you turn the camera/phone towards yourself to take a picture. I don't think taking a selfie in of itself is vain, it's more like when 90% of all the photos you take are of yourself and you take them solely because you think you look good that day and want to make sure everyone on Facebook sees that. Taking a selfie to capture yourself on vacation or something isn't really the same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-self-videos#post-1215356 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 09:59:31 +0000 mrsjyw 1215356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i don't get self videos. i don't use vine. i don't understand most of what is out on youtube. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-self-videos#post-1215353 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 09:57:02 +0000 sorrycharlie 1215353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't really understand selfies. I mean, I take "selfies" of myself and LO because no one else is around to, but I take it to have a picture of us! not because I want to post it and fish for compliments. which honestly, i feel like that's what selfies are.</p> <p>ETA: this made me die laughing.</p> <p><a href="http://wittyandpretty.com/2013/11/01/the-16-worst-types-of-selfies/" rel="nofollow">http://wittyandpretty.com/2013/11/01/the-16-worst-types-of-selfies/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-self-videos#post-1215335 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 09:51:26 +0000 pui 1215335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Lol I like the one where he gets in to that guy's car.

Like little comedy routines?</p> <p>ETA: Just found the video I think you're talking about. I would say these videos are the same thing as doing stand up comedy, except for the internet. It's not like he's making endless videos about himself on his daily boring life lol. He obviously sets these up to be funny. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-self-videos#post-1215287 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 09:36:19 +0000 mrs. bird 1215287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't get it either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-self-videos#post-1215281 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 09:34:54 +0000 mediagirl 1215281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I follow Gawker on Facebook and today they posted a video compilation by a guy from Vine. I don't understand this fascination with videos made of yourself. Is it just another part of the "me" generation? Am I just old? :)</p> <p>Can anyone explain why you would want to take videos of yourself doing stupid/annoying things and post them on the internet for all to see? </p>
