"el feisbuh" or , social media in Spanish

I'm collecting songs and videos about social media in Spanish. Here are a few songs that have become mega-hits in the Spanish-speaking world.

"No te metas a mi Facebook," por Esteman (Colombia) is that great combination of catchy and annoying that makes a summer hit:


"Que te borro del feisbuh" (viral hit in Spain)


Love song, SMS style by David Guapo, "Amor actualizado"


Not a song, but and ad for a book about Facebook (called FaceBOOM) in Argentina:


Another video where the online is made literal IRL is an episode about Facebook from a series that started out online and then got picked up by TV in Spain "Que vida más triste" (QVMT). Great for learning colloquial Spanish!

Why I don't use Facebook, revisted

Via Bob Collins on his NewCut blog on MPR, a video on the privacy concerns about Facebook, and the possibility of identity theft. A reminder of why I shut down my Facebook account and deleted it. Although it is possible to use it safely if you are somewhat savvy and constantly vigilant for their privacy settings changes, ultimately, it's a giant data mining operation.
