Efaceharmony.com

While doing the reading for tomorrow's class - and also procrastinating on facebook of course - I thought that there HAD to be some funny videos about this whole facebook/myspace/social networking identity concept. Check out the first video below, it's a parody of an eharmony.com commercial but with facebook and its 'relationship status', 'looking for' and poking features. It's funny, because it's true.  



On a more serious note (though this one is still pretty funny) the next video below is interesting in the fact that it touches upon the whole concept of young people today losing face to face interaction with their technological connections with people - phone, text, email, blog, facebook, etc. It says how facebook gave these guys the ability to be social - in today's world I guess it is true!



Whether you want to think of your facebook page as a serious way to express your personal identity or solely to fulfill your voyeuristic tendencies and spy on everyone you know, you should enjoy these videos because they bring a lot of humor to the fact that most of us probably spend a large amount of time on these websites - and actually think like this sometimes!

I'm reminded of two things:

-A humorous comic on Facebook relationship statuses.

-A humorous video anthropomorphizing websites. In particular, the actress playing Facebook in this particular video has been lauded for her uncanny portrayal of the social network.
