After Twitter Proposal Comes YouTube Divorce: Intriguing Use Of Web 2.0

When Max Kiesler proposed Emily Chang for marriage on Twitter, the entire world of Twitterers witnessed a nice and sweet use of Web 2.0.

Now, we also have a not so good use of Web 2.0 in the form of a video posted on YouTube by Tricia Walsh-Smith, wife of Shubert Organization’s president Philip Smith. The video titled “One More Crazy Day in the Life of a Phoenix Rising From the Ashes” shows Tricia trashing her elderly husband with a list of nasty accusations involving sex and porn. The video is NSFW so be careful.

In the video, the former actress who is 25 years younger than her husband, Tricia talks about how Philip Smith is trying to evict her from their Manhattan residence in the next 30 days because of a clause in their prenuptial agreement.

I feel that the mediums like YouTube and Twitter are great for voicing your concerns and problems like the U.C. Berkeley student got saved using Twitter. The way this video has been made is like washing your linen in public. If Tricia wanted to put this out in public for gathering their support, there could have been a softer version of the video. But then, it wouldn’t have intrigued people so much.
