But YouTwitFace.com - the domain, not the idea - might come to something too. Its owner, Brian Kay, now intends to build out the site into a tribute to “social-media faux pas and the lighter side of technology" combining blog posts and funny videos, reports the WSJ. Riding on the wave of Conan fame, he's already put up a teaser page for the site. From the article:
Mr. Kay, a 44-year-old accountant, said he got the idea during a March dinner party, when friends were talking about the absurdities of the Internet era. “We decided to come up with a new site that would just poke fun at our use of technology,” he said. “We threw around every possible combination of YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, sites like that, and just as we were leaving, the teenager in the family, who was sort of half-listening to our conversation, blurted out, ‘You guys, it has to be called YouTwitFace.”
Will Brian complete his plan to build a leading social media blog...or might someone inform him that role is already taken? ;) In the meantime, he's cashing in on the name by selling YouTwitFace tees in a CafePress shop.
