Ex-Magazine Editor Caruso Goes Viral
Facebook, it seems, is also the proper venue for making announcements these days. Here's former magazine editor Michael Caruso's alert to his pals about his new gig, The Daily Tube:
Hey, everyone. While you were all scarfing burgers and lighting M-80s over the weekend, we were slaving over hot computers to deploy our cool new design. Check it out at The Daily Tube.com and please tell all of your coworkers, friends, extended family and casual sex partners about the site that's like YouTube--but is actually good.I'm also happy to announce that The Daily Tube has formed a working partnership with Slate, the award-winning daily Web magazine. We now power the "Did You See This?" feature of the Slate V video section.
The Daily Tube is also a featured link on TWO of Huffington Post's pages (Media and Entertainment).
It's no wonder that we tripled our traffic this year. Please help spread the word!
Your partner in creative procrastination,
Michael Caruso
p.s. Forgive mass e-mail. I really love YOU the most.
The first few You Tube videos were no longer availbale when I went on the site, and this Onion video, which I liked, has no embed code. Hmmm. They're basically doing our browsing for us so we don't have to.
There's going to be an onslaught of stuff like this, as old media meets deep-pocketed new media in different ways. All I can say is, judging from how behind I am in every aspect of my life, my inbox is way overloaded and likely to remain so.

Facebook has pretty much replaced those e-vite places, which were very popular a few years ago. Now, it's even begun to replace newsletters and such. Since they opened it up to non-students, it's really turned into an all-purpose networking site. Kinda cool.
