I tuned into Prairie Home Companion tonight on NPR and heard a song by musical guest Brad Paisley. The song, called "Online," is an interpretation of presenting a "false face" online. In light of some of the discussions on online communities and avatars, I thought I'd try to find the song to post it here. I located the video on Youtube and it appears that Mr. Paisley is a well known singer in the country music world, I had no idea. I am posting the video because it's funny (William Shatner and Jason Alexander are in it!) and relevant with regards to perceptions and misconceptions about online social networking. The potential of the Internet is as endless as the personalities that use it and the faces they present.
Many of you may have seen this considering it has nearly 1,700,000 hits, but here it is for those who haven't:

Sorry I couldn't post the video directly here, but the embedding box has a message "embedding disabled by request."
