Some interesting links today. The Star Wars Kid is interesting. Poor kid has become something of an internet phenomenon now. Now that he has been identified it looks like he’ll even be rewarded for his antics. At first I thought “another amusing little story”. But when I read the article about his identity being discovered it made me think. It is amazing how fast this video spread around the internet and how many people have viewed it. Equally amazing is the reaction once his identity is discovered with donations being taken for a gift for him. That’s impressive. And then the law of large numbers kicks in and it amazes me how much money they’ve already collected for him. As I watch all this unfold I’m reminded what a powerful and different tool the internet really is.
