Silly videos on social networking sites

These links have nothing to do with libraries, and they are a bit old, so you may have seen them. But they are related to this week's theme, and I think they are funny.

First is internet troubadour Jonathan Coulton's video: Flickr.mov. He took unrelated photos from Filckr with Creative Commons licenses and wrote a song to suit the photos. I laugh at this one every time. (Sexually suggestive humor, but no profanity/nudity.)

Next is Demetri Martin in a clip from The Daily Show from about a year ago, Trendspotting: MySpace. My favorite quote: "So what are social networking sites? First of all, if you don’t know, you’re a loser."

The blogging church?

I thought people might find a post on Merlin Mann's blog 43Folders interesting. Blogs (watching passionate thoughts evolve in public) notes the existence of the book The Blogging Church which might be relevant for some library blogs.

Article: "Kids, the Internet, and the End of Privacy"

I thought 5'ers might be interested in the article Kids, the Internet, and the End of Privacy: The New Generation Gap from New York magazine.I found it via Liz Lawley's del.icio.us bookmarks.
