This video about a “social media expert” by zetainteractive on YouTube is pretty funny. I’ve provided a transcription below. The service used to create the video, xtranormal, is even more impressive. It’s a web site that allows the user to create video from text. Very ingenious. I’ve attempted to create a similar video about web accessibility which I’ll post later.

Man1: Acme corporation is finally getting into the social media game.
Man2: Have you thought about how you’re going to engage with individuals and provide value to the community?
Man 1: Hell not. We’re just going to build a bunch of fancy social media web assets and then spend a bunch of money on a big media push. We’re going to be rich.
Man2: What’s social about that?
Man 1: Nothing. But it’s going to look super cool, and we’ll have the mainstream media tell everybody that Acme is now engaged in social media. It’s going to be sweet.
Man2: You’re an idiot. No wonder your Twitter account got suspended.
iJustine always makes me laugh. Her videos are so witty and goofy, they’re just hilarious. And the production quality is excellent. A pretty impressive computer whiz, entertainer and entrepreneur that Justine Ezarik!
This video below is obviously more fitting to me! (In case you didn’t know, I’m a Twitter user and app developer.) Coincidentally, I met Justine at the 140 Twitter Conference in Mountain View, California, a few months ago. She was on a panel. You can follow iJustine on Twitter at @ijustine.
“The Twitter Song” – Rockin’ Robin Spoof – I’m tweeting

Many people have seen Twouble with Twitter, as it was somewhat “viral” for a while. But have you seen “Twitter Whore“? It’s kinda cheesy and silly, but for some reason I find it hilarious. Over the top.

PS:
Here’s Part 2. Not as good as the first one, though.
Addendum:
You can now purchase a Twitter Whore t-shirt!
Good comic from Blaugh.com. Gotta love the internet/Star Wars combination…
A song “Internet Wasteland” from Eddy Boston about web programming and coding. He and a friend dreamed it up over Fish ‘n’ Chips. Some of it is pretty funny, especially the lines about AOL and Adwords. You can read the lyrics in addition to listening to the song.
Eddy Boston is a musician out of Massachusetts. I like the quote from his bio:
If it weren’t for my stupidity, I’d be some kind of genius.
Here’s a cool slideshow of some strange characters I created quite a while ago:

Blaugh.com is pretty good. I had to post this one. Seems like computers as well as digital cameras are like this these days…the salespeople totally oversell the average user…
