Video Of Facebook & Twitter In Real Life Promotes New Social Media Opera

What if your Twitter followers literally followed you everywhere you went? What if people walked around with signs announcing their relationship status and sexual orientation, poked people on the street, or stuck post-its that said ‘Like’ on all the things they liked in real life?

What if your Twitter followers literally followed you everywhere you went?  What if people walked around with signs announcing their relationship status and sexual orientation, poked people on the street, or stuck post-its that said ‘Like’ on all the things they liked in real life?  A new viral video, ‘Can I be your friend?’ explores these questions in order to promote a brand new opera about our online lives.

The video, which hit YouTube just days ago and already has nearly 350,000 views, features a guy walking around London asking people if he can poke them, showing them pictures in a big album and asking them to comment, asking if he can be people’s Facebook friends or if he can follow them on Twitter and then proceeding to literally follow them down the street.

Of course, this isn’t the first time a video of this nature has hit the Web.
