Shock: social networking sites are not like real life
Funny video clip from the BBC satirising the process of "friending" in Facebook. Certainly brings home the chasm between face-to-face and online. But when I see comparisons like this I often think they're missing the point a bit. Online environments create new and hybrid contexts for interaction; that's part of what makes them shapers of social change.

Great video, but do you know what the saddest thing is? I liked it so much, I immediately posted it onto my Facebook so as all my friends could see it. Ah, the irony.
