Are You Blogging This? A Web 2.0 Song.

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."

I like the part that rhymes:

"Ourmedia confuses me, let me look up its Wikipedia entry."

yes, Tim, I'm blogging this: Now Flickr and Technorati are all blocked in China. Web 0.2 in China.

Tim you are now a part in a linkbaiting action and it seems that it would work very well. but by the way a nice and remarkable idea maybe i will link it to or better to your post? hmm :-)

It is definitely is a interesting concept and angle he is pursuing. I'm not sure if it's working for his favor though...

Does anyone else notice that he seems to have taken most of it from his cubicle at work?

Hey - thanks for the link! And yes, much of it DID come from my cubicle at work. I was learning about online video at the time (webmaster work), and what better way to learn new tools than to ... ahem ... play a little bit?

A dutch singer/songwriter made a song about blogging. http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=WczaqwhyYvk
