The trailer for the upcoming Facebook movie has caused quite a stir on the tubes, so we should have expected this string of parodies. So far, we've seen some funny entries based on YouTube and MySpace; the "Twitter movie trailer," however, is definitely laugh-out-loud material.
Based not at all on the true story of Twitter cofounders Jack Dorsey, Ev Williams and Biz Stone, the trailer is mostly a tongue-in-cheek send-up of the original The Social Network trailer.
The mock-trailer for the fake movie, dubbed The Twit Network, pokes fun at the inanity of some tweets' content, our collective self-absorption, our obsession with celebrities and the painful convention of affixing "tw-" to beginning of any word related to social media.
As silly as it is, the spoof highlights how much we've dramatized something as technical and complex as creating a web startup. Do you think the Hollywood treatment looks good on Silicon Valley? Do you plan to see the Facebook movie when it's released?
