I have never seen such a perfect representation of a blogger's odyssey through cyber-popularity summed up so graphically and on such a cellular level as this You Tube short subject called "Validation".
Flip it one way, straight, and it is a crisp, snarky, well-produced little one-note story of schmaltzy, give-the-slobs-what-they-want happy ending love.
Flip it upside down like a Manichean playing card, and it resonates with every day of my own personal trip through webrings, Buzznet Originals,Flicker testimonials, Yelp! votes, Twitter Favrd, back up to and through my own 365Day project, here.
Except for telling people to smile, this is what I've been doing. This is what I want to do.
I think it's working. And yes it does leave me less time to validate my cyber friends.
I think its okay.
