You may have heard about the events at Galludet University in Washington - basically there is a big controversy about preserving deaf culture and specifically sign language.
Current technologies, including the web have opened up infinite new possibilities for communication. One thing that's happening - that was never possible with phones and email - is that the deaf are publishing signing movies to the web.
There are some really great vlogs on youtube - just search for "Deaf" or "ASL" (American Sign Language). Or, you can take a look at some of the amazing short films made by Eagles Media at the California School for the Deaf.
