I decided to mix things up a little bit! While I was away for the weekend, the status updates just kept coming...and there were so many good ones, I wasn't sure what to do. The only way to pay homage to all of the great updates was to create nothing other than a medley....musical theatre style!
Was your update included? Gotta watch the video to find out!

Welcome to the Facebook Status Update Song Project Blog Site!
Hello and welcome to the launch of the Facebook Status Update Song Project Blog!
What first made it's premier directly on Facebook now has a new site where you can check out the latest installments of my original song project.
What is the Facebook Status Update Song Project?
I had this idea to write songs where the lyrics are based entirely of my Facebook friends' status updates. So, I went through an entire day's worth of updates, grabbed the video camera, sat down at the keyboard and composed a song.
Here is the YouTube link to the first song:
The reaction of my friends was flattering, to say the least. Suggestions were popping up to make this a routine, to create a blog, start a viral campaign, etc. So, I felt that I needed to quickly do a follow-up and since it was Cinco de Mayo, it felt completely appropriate to do a tribute:
You see...status updates are really amazing and it's a shame that they come and go so quickly. The humor, the insight, the witty observations, the statements that demand further inquiry...these statements come and go so quickly, they are often missed and overlooked. It is my new goal to capture and preserve the best of my friends' status updates and share them with the world.
Please help spread the word! Long live the status update!!
