Mr. Know-It-All

Ever felt like perhaps you were sharing TOO MUCH information on the internet?
I was type of person who used to constantly updates my status, tweets and posts up pictures without a second thought, until my friend Jess pointed out that he already knew anything I had to tell him, from my Facebook and blog. Oh dear.
As part of a promotion for Samsung's new 'social hub' services, which delivers all updates (twitter, facebook, myspace and email) into one place, they have released an interactive video entitled "Mr Know-It-All", which although humorous, makes us shockingly aware of the amount of information we do release into the public eye. It even includes little updates down the bottom so we can see exactly where Mr Know-It-All got all his information from - things that most of us do reveal in this information age.
To make the video even more enjoyable, it automatically inserts pictures of your friends (and yourself) from facebook as a bit of a joke. Here's the video I made, "staring" Verity Trott, Zach McSweeney, Jess Hallay and Michael Serratore.
