                  He is the electric messiah! The AC/DC god!

Today we received an email from the Marketing Department of the Corporation
Overlord Corporation touting their latest press release to the public. They
linked to the press release at the various GoogleMyFacePlusTwitterSpaceBook
sites using some outrageous graphics. The one for Facebook [1] was pretty
scary looking, being based on this:

[Oh my God! He's part of the Matrix! I knew this was a bad week to start
sniffing bits!] [2]

I'm not sure why the Marketing Departmemt of the Corporation Overlord
Corporation felt the standard linking images for
FaceTwitterGoogleMyPlusSpaceBook weren't good enough and needed to “kick it
up a notch,” but there you go.

But as a counter point to that (or maybe even a counter-counter point, or a
point, or something), here's an interesting video [5] (warning: it's an hour)
on the digital tracking that MyFaceGoogleSpaceBookPlusTwitter can (and most
likely, is doing), if you can stomache the whole “viva la revolución my
democratic comrades” vibe the speaker gives off (and you can pretty much skip
the last fifteen to twenty minutes where it gets really thick).
