Mark Zuckerberg Hashtagged My Girlfriend

Anybody else think that a decent internet connection should be part of our basic human rights?

So I've become a little bit of a professional social networker. Placed in charge on updating a website, facebook page, twitter account, vimeo feed and anything else I can think of that would increase what I believe the trendy professionals would term "groundswell".

I create a video blog that's uploaded to vimeo, which sends an automatic update to twitter saying that I've uploaded a video/vimeo (can I use that as an improper noun?), I then reference this tweet on the facebook page to keep those particular people in the loop, one of them copies the link to that FB post on their twitter account with @s & #s, which I then retweet on the first twitter. Not to mention the constant tagging and references at every possible moment, creating an interweb net big enough to catch a preverbial publicity whale. Not so much going round in circles, more "doing a spyrograph".

And I'm only making it worse with this blog, which I shall post to facebook, retweet to twitter, draw doodles of on post-it notes and stick them to peoples faces, you know, the usual stuff.

One day, when the robots have taken over, blogs will be the new underground revolution. However there'll be no internet so they'll be written on pidgeons and carved into street corners, perhaps becoming more than the such insignificant tripe that for the most part they are now. Not including me of course, I'm a vital cog in the machine of the survival of the human race. And not insane either. My therapist says so.

And on that note...
