as i am catching up on the blogosphere & other feeds i was reading up on josh browns continued dismay with social media. i get his sentiment.. it had me thinking then of some of the stuff that made the early onset of social media really great. wandered around the net a bit and stumbled back upon this viral video gem. it is still great to me & for many others i am sure.
it has me thinking, what gives some web sensation staying power?

holy week worship video : worship tricks
next week we are doing our midday holy week services in our youth space (cause its’ the coolest) and most artistically driven area and the pastors want to do some more experiential worship stuff. we’ll do some prayer stations stuff for sure & some various smells. but what about our visuals?

twouble with twitter : hilarious look at twitter
i get asked about twitter & why enough times that i am fine with saying, if your skeptical don't do it. i like len sweet's framing of twitter as passing on the town green. i've established some relationships, made a bunch of jokes, shared a ton of information, & wasted some time that was probably better off done somewhere else. adam cleaveland shared this hilarious video about twitter, on twitter, by the folks at current tv. as with most good satire, you need to know a bit of twitter to get the full fun, but even without that knowledge you'll be able to laugh at it. for a more serious look at twitter you can check out the 'twitter in plain english'
update: the folks at neatorama are having a bit of a slam on twitter after sharing this video
