I should write a longish, thoughtful and, of course, insightful post in a Roland Barthes-ian sort of way about the interesting jousting going on about books, their authors, audiences and readers. But I'm not going to....here's links to a couple of posts on this Ideology 2.0 topic.
No, I'd rather point you at a 2-3 minute video that is brilliant and funny. NPR covered it. Two guys, 200 liters of Diet Coke and 500 Mentos mints. If this doesn't make you laugh, you need a vacation.
It did make me muse on something I've written about before: content chaos. Proliferating, hyperlinked, unmanageable, self-referential, unruly content that will never ever be wrangled into MARC records, and into OPACs.

It did make me laugh, and I still need a vacation!
What is it about certain videos, jokes, posts, etc. on the Web? This Mentos/Diet Coke thing has now hit my RSS feed and inbox *SEVEN TIMES* this week, between blogs I read and people emailing it to me. It's fun and funny, I grant you... but SEVEN? What's up widdat? How can I figure out that meme juice and bottle it?

Alane, you heretic. How many times must I tell you? Everything can be fit into a MARC record ;-)
Dude,
If you liked Eepybird then you'll appreciate CokeMentos.com. It's got a top 5 video section, pretty dope.
