The Sometimes Humorous Side of Social Networking: Facebook / eHarmony Parody Video

Sure, social networks are powerful, paradigm-shifting technologies that are changing the way software and services are being developed. They're great tools for networking, finding jobs, locating information, and congregating together online (and in person) with others who share the same interests as we do. I've started my own global network of content professionals and it's proved to be extremely popular, producing all kinds of positive interactions and experiences for our members. But, there's also the dark side of social networks -- people that are irritating in person, can be even more irritating online. Fortunately, most of the irritation occurs on sites like Facebook, MySpace, and any one of hundreds (maybe thousands) of online dating and match-making sites.

This parody video does a great job of marrying the ridiculous marketing tactics used by the folks at eHarmony.com with the irritating features many Facebook users often complain about. Take a peek. Go ahead. You deserve a chuckle.

I'll upload this to our video section as well so that others can enjoy it long after this blog post is archived.
