Memed– I’m On An Internet!
~ SOCIAL MEDIA LIKE FaceBook and Youtube and all the other interconnected (hence social) new-media is powerful. Harnessed to all the creativity out there, you get entertainment, fun, quick responds and a whole world of fun… and real marketability, market-attention and popularity in the culture. Ask anyone under 30– especially teens and university students.
It’s So Intense!

Two recent examples? ‘Double Rainbow’ by Yosemite Bear.. which got turned into a super-popular song, now available on iTunes. The guy involved is now being interviewed here and there, and is famous for his 15 minutes. Why? His response to the rainbows is so happy, so pure, so childlike, I think it touched something in cynical hearts to hear someone literally weeping over beauty in nature.
