You can link and like but don't lick.

this post is in response to the dec. 7 web 2.0 digital storytelling class
Hey you know what I like? And by like I don't mean "like" like Facebook like?

For the record not this like.

I like the fact that Home Hardware give you the ability to "upvote" their products on reddit or "pin" their products on pinterest. I don't know anyone that will ever use these features (although I think there may be a case for pinners to use it) I find it awesome that a site like Home Hardware has these features. It's all about linking yourself into web2.0 I guess. 

I started watching the marblehornets video series too. 



 There's probably a few of you that are thinking w/e and a few of you that laugh, but I personally seem set myself up in a mood that causes me to get really stressed and nervous about these kind of videos. 

Well to avoid this blog from turning into a greatest hits theme collection of Korbyn's youtube videos I'll talk about using people. 

Dan Brown of youtube channel "pogobat" fame started a project a couple years ago letting his youtube subscribers control his life. It didn't work out too well.  He became kinda depressed and eventually quit and reformated his program, but what was cool is he continued telling the story of his life throughout the difficulties and eventually continued on making regular videos. 

And he's just one of the many stories of fame and fortune that YouTube stars have created for themselves. Although I really feel like I need to mention Allie from hyperboleandahalf fame. Her stories are frickin hilarious.
