If You Want It, Internets Got IT...

The title of this post comes from the lyrics of an Old Crow Medicine Show song titled "God's Got It."



"If you want it, God's got it. He's got everything you need..."

"If you want it, Internets got it. Internets got everything you need..."

I was unsure of what I wanted to write about today, so this will be an unorganized jumble. A non-definitive dump. Everything you want and nothing you need. The wants to an end, but not the means. The space above our heads, but not the air. The question: "Do androids dream of electric sheep?" But not the answer. This is the third rewrite, but not the final script.

But like I said, if you need it, Internets got it...

Via Mashable: Ustream has now made it possible for video chat items and status updates to be uploaded simultaneously to your Twitter, Facebook, MySpace and even AIM accounts (I didn't know anyone actually still used AIM anymore, but w/e).

Ustream just taken this concept to another level by launching what it calls Social Stream. The new feature allows you to sign-in to all three networks simultaneously, plus AIM, and have each chat message distributed to all of them. Further, the chat room will contain messages streaming in from all four platforms.

This means that if you’re watching Ochocinco or Soulja Boy on Ustream, now, you can have your chat messages show up on Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, and AIM. Thus, there’s potential for 4x the viralness of your typical live video with chat. It should be another big win for Ustream, who has seen its audience grow significantly in the past year as it taps into the growth of other social media sites.

I know digg links the logins of your Facebook and Twitter, and although I haven't yet tried it, it seems pretty cool. I'm always down for 4x the OchoCinco.

Via Michelle Lentz: An explanation of Facebook's new redesign: The Live News Feed. Still not sure if I care about this but whatever. Oh and did you guys see that Facebook's other new suggestion redesign is actually suggesting you become friends with ex-lovers and the deceased? Yikes? Or maybe not, I dunno what you're into. Some people think it's brilliant tho...

Via ESPN: In case you missed it this week, Kansas City Chief's running back and apparent idiot tweeted some homophobic comments and insults directed at head coach Todd Haley...

And finally, since I absolutely love how social media connects us with professional athletes, especially those that are our same age...Via Kevin Durant: the Durantuala posts the link to his new BLOG. No sarcasm here, I love reading athletes over analysts (considering they are the actual people playing the games) and OKC are a young and exciting time. If you seriously think college basketball is still more exciting than the NBA...I pity you. Oh, and while you're there, check out the Hyperize commercial. Dare I say Genius?

"I BELIEVE IN THE INTERNET ABOVE! I believe in the righteous, I believe in love. I BELIEVE IN THE FIRE BURNING IN MY SOUL. I BELIEVE THAT INTERNET'S LIGHT IS GONNA MAKE ME WHOLE!"
