The power of social networking becomes apparent when you start to think of all the actual people who are involved. No place is better to study this phenomenon than the center of an arena full of screaming Justin Timberlake fans. Twenty thousand screaming females. Twenty thousand posts just waiting to be uploaded to twenty thousand MySpace pages. Twenty thousand wireless leashes connecting twenty thousand opinions to one another. "Oh my God" gets digitized and flash-banged across the planet. You are not what you eat. You are who you know. Suddenly just the act of 'being there' makes you the coolest kid in class the next day. The not-so-subtle irony of posting this diatribe on a syndicated blog is not lost on the author whatsoever.
