Having just made a video post, I can now say thins without looking like I am ragging on anyone else, but look like a hypocrite instead,. yay!

Does anyone else sometimes feel like posting links to funny videos is the more modern version of mass-mailing 'funny' stories to everyone in your address book?

Sometimes I feel that way.

HELLO THE INTERNETS DO YOU NOT THINK THIS IS FUNNY TOO HAHA!

In an unrelated observation, it always amuses me to watch what people do on rainy days when they have umbrellas and are passing under the pedestrian underpass. Mostly the will not actually retract their umbrellas, but will make sure they are pointed ahead of them so that.... I don't know why! So that people will realize they know it isn't needed? It is amusing!

...I thought I posted this ages ago. Well, apparently not.

Have some tentacles.

I find it less invasive... I can *choose* whether I want to waste my time and bandwidth downloading a video rather than having a bunch of crap clogging up my inbox. If I'm not at least a little interested in seeing a cat breakup video I just won't click on it (I did though :V).

Yeah, I prefer it also for that reason, but I still find it conceptually similar!

Hee, cat breakup :D

This. Also, a journal is a place for people to put stuff and write things they want to remember - I'm choosing to read the content that they want to provide, be that videos, links, pictures, diaries or anything else. If you send me an email, you're saying "I specifically thought that this was relevant to you, and you should consume it."

So, I think mass-mailing crap is rude, but posting stuff on your journal is not.

Oh well that's a given ;p

As said in other comments - I think the sentiment is the same, but the technology is less invasive. I don't mind videos, really, and have relinked/reposted some of the ones you throw up ^-^

I don't post videos very often, so I refuse to feel guilty. ;)

And the cat break up WAS hilarious. ;)

I agree with Hazel that I don't find it as annoying when other people do the same because it's not foisted on me involuntarily.

Your costume looks awesome.

Yeah, as I said, it is not as annoying. I think the mentality is the same, it is just that the technology is more forgiving.

And thanks :D

Actually, I never thought of it that way, but you may be on to something. A more polite version, certainly, as you don't select recipients, you just leave it out for people to read or ignore as they see fit.

When I point an umbrella at any angle, it's because the rain is driving it at an angle... or I'm trying to shelter something specific (e.g. another person).

That's one helluva costume you've got going there. ^_^ Wish I was as creative.
