It’s a cheap trick, but it works. At least till it’s over-exposed.
David Lee King, a librarian from Kansas, has put together a clever music video called “Are you blogging this? A Web 2.0 Song” Of course, that frank appeal is a one-time stunt, but it shows how people are fishing for an angle that will get them noticed, exploring the new frontiers of YouTube PR. But it also works because it’s fairly clever. As James Barry, who sent me the link, noted in email, “You will appreciate halfway through when he shows all of the new blog/IM stuff…. This stuff is getting pretty interesting from middle America instead of the coastal fringes.”
