“T3kn0l0gy makes me wanna dance now” is the motto of self-proclaimed “nerd girl & tech guru,” Tina T3k. A false internet prophet, Tina is my new alter ego that answers social media and technology related questions very poorly thru VYou on her Tumblog, TinaT3k.Tumblr. I created her as a caricature of two internet personality archetypes that annoy me to no end, mainly because of their recent explosion and lack of authenticity and inherent internet-affirmation neediness: the “nerd girl” that’s smart (=wear’s glasses, has an iphone) but also hot (=wears tight ironic, tech tee that accentuates boobs), 2. the “social media guru” that’s an expert on [insert social media network] simply because they say they are on aforementioned social media network, but really just retweets anything that falls out of Guy Kawasaki’s twitter-butt or steve jobs’ mock-turtlekneck.

Here is her official music video, “T3kn0l0gy Makes Me Wanna Dance Now,” for the VH1 Dance Cam Slam contest. Now vote for me here, I need to feel internet-special (because i am a hypocrite). Ask Tina questions and read her reviews of obsolete technology onTinaT3k.Tumblr
