Star Wars Uncut
Star Wars Uncut is a fan reenactment of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. They cut up the movie into 15 second sequences, participants can claim any segment and refilm it however they like, and all the clips are put back together on the website. They’ve just won an Emmy.
In a viral campaign – as in the general movement of ideas and memes around the Net – the audience is also the medium. We are that through which memes move.
I could really use a place where i can collect quotes and citations. They don’t quite seem right to put up here, but i wouldn’t know where else to put them. Something like Delicious, but more specifically geared towards collecting quotes. Anyone know of a service like this?

The Magic Of One-Click
Peter Merholz of Adaptive Path on the magic of one-click:
[O]ne of our realizations is that, when it comes to media, most people are very very lazy. Awe-inspiringly lazy. I was stunned at, in a world of DVRs and streaming media, how many people still just plop down on their couch, point a remote at their teevee, and browse whatever is on.
And I realized that, if you could just give people a magic button, and they pressed it once, and stuff they liked just started appearing before them, they’d be ecstatic.
