I came across blip.tv while working on a project for Principles of Searching last fall. The link above, (Social Buzz t.v.) is an example of a program related to our social informatics topic. While the commercial cans be a little annoying and quality of production can vary greatly, I have found some really good videos here. Here's an episode from a different program that I came across that discusses one of my pet peeves...iphone dinner table etiquette. (It's also kind of funny!) http://blip.tv/captureyourflag/social-media-dinner-table-etiquette-caroline-giegerich-8-27-09-chapter-12-2698172

:) How sad that we feel so connected that we can't get through a dinner with face to face interaction without constantly checking our emails, facebook, etc. Sometimes I look at families at dinner and laugh because they all have their ipods and phones out, and they're not even talking to each other.

I find it amazing that people can't get through A MOVIE without taking out their phones to see if anyone emailed, texted or called. Crazy!
