Snark + Marketing = Snarketing = Target Women = Hilarious
Feb 12th
This series of videos, Target Women, were brought to my attention by college roomie Evelyn. And they are AWESOME!
Sarah Haskins does a segment on InfoMania, which you can watch Current Thursday nights at 10 pm.
There’s about forty in the series, but here are four of my favorite:
The first, the classic, the original – YOGURT! 
Jewelry
Broadview Security
Back 2 School
PS22 Chorus – Viva La Vida by Coldplay
Feb 10th
This is my favorite of the PS22 Chorus videos. And I don’t even like Coldplay! In fact, I like the PS22 version of this song quite a bit better than the original. 
Enjoy!

And here was the news when I searched Google News -
The lesson? Crowdsourced news can bring interesting things to the forefront, but not all of it will be true!

1981 News Report On the Newfangled “Newspapers on Your Computer” Phenomenon
Jan 4th
Enjoy this little blast from the past News Report about people (GASP!) reading newspapers on computers
I originally came across this video on Genuine Juice, and the blogger himself was actually interviewed for this news report as a kid, but ended up on the cutting room floor.
Here are a few notable things about this news report -
- The report is given by the TV Station’s “Science Editor” because it deals with computers. And, you know. They’re Science-y.
- The subject of the report dials the “local number” to connect his computer on his actual telephone! Hello, War Games!
- David Cole of the San Francisco Examiner was half-prescient. He predicted that newspapers on computers wouldn’t make a lot of money. Heh. That’s true. But he also said “We’re probably not going to lose money.” Wow, David. Inside 30 years this technology is going to decimate your entire industry. SOMEONE’S FACE IS RED!
- Only between 2,000 and 3,000 people in the San Francisco Bay Area owned computers!
- There is actually a title card that designates the subject as “Richard Halloran – Owns Home Computer”
- The TEXT ONLY edition of the newspaper takes over TWO HOURS to download!!! And service cost FIVE BUCKS AN HOUR!
Meredith, Megan, and Charles Dickens
Jan 3rd
Meredith, meet Megan. And vice versa. You guys have several things in common.
- You’re both on my Facebook friends list
- Both of your names start with “Me” – weird
- Both of you had Dickensian new years proclamations that ended up right next to each other in my feed.
I think this is fate, you guys should be friends!
Happy New Year 2010 from the Good Folks at Google! :)

Zach Braff is Not Dead – But He Is Still Funny!
Oct 13th
Check out the below video, also featuring Donald Faison, where Zach Braff combats the rumor that he has died.
It’s frickin’ hilarious! I know people say that he has a bad temper, but cracks me up.
Here’s the vid – transcription is below:

Scrubs - Complete Seasons 1-8 DVD 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 NEW!!

Zach: Hi! It’s Zach Braff here. I’m alive. There was a big internet rumor today that I was dead, that I ODed on some pills. It’s not the case. I’m alive, I’m here at Scrubs shooting the new Scrubs Title Sequence. Which is a little bit like dying, so I guess that was semi-accurate. Also, I would never off myself with pills. If I had to do it, I would do it the way that everyone else would do it, by hitting myself with pots and pans.
A couple innaccuracies you should have noticed when you saw the thing, if you believed it.
One. The dude said that, let me just pull it up here, he said that I was found in my 32,000 square foot estate in Beverly Hills. Look, I’m not Oprah, all right? That’s a big ass house. And, you know, I’ve got a nice house, but 32,000 square feet – that’s like some Oprah shit right there.
Oh, and also, I think it’s funny that when I posted earlier that I was alive I didn’t really get that many “likes.” And I think there should have been way more likes out there for those of you who like me, when I said that I was alive.
On a positive note, I was able, when my friend Donald Faison called me frantically, I was able to work out with him that if I do ever die, I would like him to sing an R&B version of Wind Beneath my Wings at my funeral.
So I just want to say to Chris Laga-laga-nella, who apparently is the douchebag that started this, you win my first ever “Douche of the Day” award for making my Mom upset.
And now, to play us out, Donald Faison with an R&B rendition of “Wind Beneath My Wings”
Donald (singing): Did you ever know that you’re my hero? You’re everything I would like to could be? OOOO I could..
Zach (interruping): I’m sorry to interrupt, but would you mind just urbaning it up a little bit? R&B it up.
Donald (singing): Did you ever know that you’re my hero…
Zach: Thank you everybody.

Songs About Websites – AKA – Cybersongs :)
Nov 11th
Inspired by yesterday’s reblog, I have decided to release the next in the series of reblogging myself. 
This one is from InternetMarketingChick, as well.
ORIGINAL POST:
So, embedding Kina’s Digg song last week got me thinking about other songs I’ve heard that are about websites.
Not to brag or anything, but I’m KIND of the Queen of the Theme mixtape. For instance, I have managed to collect 27 songs that are all either called “Melanie” or feature a major character named “Melanie” – I call that one “Narcissism.” My masterpiece to date, though, is “Rockin’ While Stalkin’” – songs about stalking or being stalked.
This mix I’ve put together here, I have to say, is pretty cool and I’m kinda proud of it, even though it only features 6 songs.
Enjoy!
Kina Grannis – Gotta Digg Here’s the song that gave me the idea in the first place.
Alana Taylor – The Twitter Song It talks about Twitter AND Facebook, and even mentions Mahalo Daily Triple Threat
IM Love – Raining Jane This song doesn’t talk about a specific website, but…how can you not include Raning Jane? IMPOSSIBLE! God, I hope you’re not my Dad. That’s all I’m sayin’.
The Myspace Song – Good Clean Fun They know how Emo kids feel.
I’m a Warrior – Steven Wagenheim Only song on the list dedicated to an IM forum. Come on eWealthers – catch up! Nebula/Jamie? Nothing?
YouTube (A Love Song) – David Choi A lot of people claim they see a little smile at the end. I don’t.
Ebay – Weird Al Yankovic (contributed by xmx)
Facebook Anthem – LLP81 (I don’t think this is a band, just people that make funny videos, but it’s DAMN funny! ) (contributed by Ian Wilcox)
I Google You – Amanda Palmer (courtesy of Weblantis.org)
Coming Soon, hopefully, will be The Internet Killed Bookmobile by ColinSick.
Did I Forget Any? Leave Them In The Comments, I’ll Amend the List!
Top 25 Facebook Games
Oct 28th
Take a look at this chart of the Top 25 Facebook games. It surprised me when I looked at it. I use Little Green Patch from time to time, and I’ve been invited to Mob Wars although I never really got into it. But I was shocked to see the absence of WordTwist, which is wildly popular among my friends and I.
Check it out!
