Go to Moo and get loads of cards done with your flickr pictures on… I am doing it. I sure am.
This fabulous little gadget allows you to present to yourself to others in a wavia cards which your online identity; this is you presenting yourself as web 2.0 savvy and as photographer with an allegiance to Flickr What does Flickr mean?
Well it has really worked hard to present itself as ‘other’; see here. It is the sign in page which refers to Flickr members as ‘old skool’ and mentions that:
People who use Flickr rock!
Not only does Flickr make you smell better, it also makes you more attractive.
Mmm thinking of people who rock and peole who present themselves as web 2.0 savvy and funky …. David Webman Cameron is NOT one of them.
Our dear little opposition leader has a blog, WebCameron (gettit?) which looks a bit like a series of You Tube videos trying to reach out to the young; no David, it does not work like that. We have to have other authentic funky stuff going on too.
Has anyone got any tips for David to help him funk out??
If I had the computer skills, I’d hack into Cameron’s blog and post a photo of Margaret Thatcher.
People have such short memories…

I have a horrible feeling that I’m going to find his site compulsive. I’ve already viewed 3 of the videos. How many of the comments are REAL comments, do you think, and how many of them are by loyal supporters primed to say things like “I thought your speech was really great, despite those media sharks!! I’ll certainly vote for anyone who …(etc)” I wonder whether they’ve WORKED at getting it looking amateurish, or whether it’s really like that?

That is SUCH a good idea RogerB. Maybe you can paste the picture in he comments box.
But I bet they vet the comments and delete all the non adoring ones.
Which does mean Sheila is right that they pay peole to do nice comments. I am concerned btw Sheila that you have seen all the videos; I think it would be more healthy to watch random stuff on YouTube.

Oo, but I think the plot of WebCameron could become scarier than lonelygirl15…..

Yep I think you are right … let’s keep an eye on it

I’ve just looked at the latest one and the first part just consits of someone zooming slowly into Cameron’s painstaking typing of replies to comments, on his laptop. And then it zooms out again. I think I will try and get one of my students to film me doing things like staring pointlessly at the screen and trying to put together ppts at 3am, and call webbercam or something.
I hope DC’s site isn’t sending out some sort of hypnotic signal and I’ll find myself voting Tory next time without being able to help myself.

OMG I think his site is probably hypnotic.
You have clearly been drawn in by it. You seemed OK to me before that. This is v sinister.
