Charming Randomness

It's kind of hard to say if they are silly and successfully disguised as clever of if they are clever putting on silly as a costume - anyways, Rocketboom is a website which creates its own communicative culture that you quickly find yourself wanting to be a part of. Endearing is a word that comes to mind a lot when you watch their camera-facing rides across the news of the day or the miracles of magnetism. An example? Just watch Molly talking about the Internet making us smarter:

They remind me a little bit of early MTV, not the music but the tone of irreverence, of pointless anarchy that you sometimes suspected might serve a higher purpose in the end - and who is to say it didn't?
And when you're done watching, check the job listings: why not apply for an internship so that you have something to do when you are in NYC, or how about becoming a freelance Field Reporter?

... and now it's gone the way of the dodo, how sad!
