Are You A New Media Douchebag?

A moment of comic relief…

This video, in the style of Lee Lefever’s Common Craft videos, made me laugh. It’s a nervous laugh – I fall dangerously close to this definition of a “new media douchebag.” I fail on a few accounts though:

  1. I have a “real” job
  2. I don’t hate enough things
  3. I’m as likely to slam something as I am to like it

Still, this gives me something to aspire to :)

    Those three aren’t get out of douchebagdom free cards. We’ll debate the “real job” some other time.

    Absolutely fantastic. Thanks for sharing that. Let’s see…blog (only a personal one), Flickr (have an account but never got around to posting photos), Facebook (guilty), Wiki (at work), Podcast/vidcast (nope), Amazon wishlist (no – Findgift: yes), Twitter (guilty), Skype (haven’t used it in ages), RSS (guilty)…
