Fun with Video

I’m not usually trolling for videos online and am typically fairly serious about my examinations of the technology and social moves on the Internet/Web, but this one just tickled me today.

Called “Lip Dub” (and already appearing on dozens of sites and blogs with almost 1M views as of this morning), it appears that it was shot at a young company and done during a Friday afternoon beer bash where the group obviously was inspired to orchestrate lip synching to song. It’s just delightful and goes far beyond a couple of people sitting in front of a webcam doing the same thing.

Connecting the Dots Podcast
