Oh haaaaay In Spanish class we read a cultural piece describing a rising adolescent fad similar to US blogging, or in Spanish, fotologing. The jovenes who engage in fotologing, los floggers for short, pay homage to the spear-head of their urban cult style, Cumbio, a seventeen-year-old Argentine star made famous by her fotolog site. That's right, people, fotolog.com is a bigger social web than Facebook or MySpace. What the hell??? Read the New York Times article here:
In Argentina, a Camera and a Blog Make a Star
What a crazy interesting random ass movement in Argentina! Tiiiiiight
Check out her fotolog phe-nom at:
fotolog.com/CUMBIO
Don't worry, you don't have to know Spanish to check out the site, unlike "blogging" here in the states fotologing pretty much only involves posting pictures, the goal being to get the most comments and followers. Sooooo ya what the heck! If you want to check out a totally random other-world pop culture phenomenon, check out Cumbio. Top image is the photo cover for her autobiography ...
