How a star is born...and then shows us to just be normal

This is the continuation of a previous post on Dylan, the Youngest Videoblogger in the World.
It's a funny story which goes like this.

Michael Verdi is part of our videoblogging group.
Being the coolest dad he is, he got Dylan, his 11-year old daughter to make a videoblog.
She already had a regular blog.
The group linked to her videopost because it was so amazing.
Then, it got hit almost 2000 times in one day and spread around the net.
ABC World News Tonight happened to be looking for a videoblogger...and there was Dylan...full of star potential.

Michael posted this great story on the surealness of the whole 2 weeks.

It's good that Michael and his wife are so savvy.
They won't let it all go to Dylan's head.
It's cool that ABC recognized the power of a videoblog by an 11-year-old girl.
Maybe other young people will start videoblogging like they IM each other.
But it's really about us...about building a second world in here...where we always need ABC or whoever to tell us what's going on.
We tell each other.
Just like how Dylan does it.
