   Coming soon to a “D.A” meeting near you…. Or a line of jokes on the topic of “You might be a New Media Douchebag…”

   I’ll be changing my moniker from “eBusinessman” to “New Media Douchebag”! Very well done.

   I certainly fit this description except that I’ve always got more then enough “real” work to do as well
   I’m trying to keep the cobwebs off my phone as well. Not doing so hot.

   Keep up the great work here. Really like your approach.

    A Swiftian sendup of Everything 2.0. Brilliant. I thought it was by Lee LeFever of http://www.commoncraft.com/ at first because of the “Yeah” and thumbs ups. Homage? Mocking with respect? No matter. This was a kick in the new media butt.

    i almost spit out my coffee.

    As a recent convert to being a NMD - i loved this! Funny, yet somewhat true - making fun of our own obsessions is not bad thing to keep us grounded methinks.

    Funniest things is - the NMD’s will probably end up as part of the interwebs next burst bubble, when 3.0, 4.0 etc come along! When the cool kids are blogging, vlogging, flogging (?) and facebooking from implanted chips in their heads, we’ll all be sitting around telling anyone that’ll listen how fun it was back in the good old days of the interweb 2.0
    Should i watch again or reply to my voicemail queue - hmmmm ? Aw the heck with it - if its something important they’l IM or twitter me wont they?

    This is fabulous, Kelly, and I’ll do my best to spread the word to other NMDBs like me. Some of them have trouble with satire, but most — I hope — have a sense of humor. We’ll see if they talk to me after today, or if they see themselves in your clip!

    Could not help but note how few of the hard core 2.0ers in my business have either not found this clip or refuse to post it!
