an NYC missed connection, and a pillow fight?

Filed under: Academic,Technology — Jed @ 8:49 pm

For everyone who has ever asked “Do craigslist missed connections actually work?” this video is for you.

The theorist in me has to point out that a missed connections attempts to reconstruct an interaction so that the other-half of the would-be connection will respond (think ‘intertextuality’ and ‘Kriteva’).

Or in other words, “Yeah, the odds are pretty low.”

So why not use YouTube to help you reconstruct the scene via video? (It might even go viral!)

But really, what is up with the pillow fight?
