Amber cole high school

The recent Amber Video search frenzy proves three things on the cyberspace today: one, people cannot resist jumping on the curious bandwagon; two, anyone hungry enough for attention - for whatever purpose -- has a place on the internet; and three, internet users have a long way to go before grasping the concept of responsible sharing of information.

Either people are naturally curious, or Jordann Marie, the YouTube user who posted the video, has a knack for making noise on the internet. But to what end?

Amber cole high school: Amber Cole (4) Outfielder - THIS

Jordann Marie is apparently not just on YouTube; she is on Facebook and Twitter releasing statements about Amber Cole, sometimes posting messages in defense of Amber Cole and sometimes rejoicing in the sharp rise of internet traffic on her postings. Now who is Amber Cole and how did someone manage to stir much frenzy online about one person, such that Amber Cole became a trending traffic on U.

Cole is apparently a year-old student whose private moment of oral sex with her boyfriend was caught on video and was spread online by cyber bullies who happily attacked her character for having done such a thing in a public place. Anyone who wants to protect the innocence of their children and keep any form of pornography far away from them would be alarmed by two things here: oral sex and cyber bullies.

Teens who knew Cole perpetuated the sharing of the video initially via Twitter. It did play on people's curiosity effectively, but to what end? Wasn't it to subliminally urge people to find out who Amber Cole is, find the pornographic video, talk about it, and establish a wider trend online? Was Marie's video an act of sympathy or a smart use of the social media?
