Open table is a website that is based on user experienced postings of restaurants throughout the nation that offer high-end, expensive entrees. Once someone has visited a restaurant, they will rate the restaurant on a variety of categories such as "ambience", "service", and how "romantic" it is. The restaurants that are on this website do not have to pay to get a posting, near do they have to pay to upkeep the site. While this type of advertising is nearly opinion, It can have much more bearing on an individual than a television ad or newspaper ad. The only difference between this user experienced advertising and traditional advertising is that the users could cast the restaurant in a bad light. I also can't help but think how many times employees or owners of restaurants have logged onto this site and rated their restaurant "outstanding" in all categories.

Internet art piece by Johnathan Harris and Sep Kamvar. Scroll down and click on "Interactive Version" to see it. What is it? Well, as stated on their "Mission" page: "We Feel Fine is an exploration of human emotion on a global scale. Since August 2005, We Feel Fine has been harvesting human feelings from a large number of weblogs. Every few minutes, the system searches the world's newly posted blog entries for occurrences of the phrases "I feel" and "I am feeling". When it finds such a phrase, it records the full sentence, up to the period, and identifies the "feeling" expressed in that sentence (e.g. sad, happy, depressed, etc.). Because blogs are structured in largely standard ways, the age, gender, and geographical location of the author can often be extracted and saved along with the sentence, as can the local weather conditions at the time the sentence was written. All of this information is saved."

This might be interesting to those of you who are doing research projects on music copyright laws/ parodys, etc. I suggest watching Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" music video before watching this if you haven't already, otherwise, it's not as funny.

A mashup artist that combines multiple songs to create each of his tracks. This is different than DJing. On average, he uses 21 songs for each one of his. His performances are featured in the documentary I posted earlier, "RIP: A Remix Manifesto". It's interesting to look at his music as a prime example of postmodernism and what that all means in terms of copyright infringement.
