In this age of new media and technologies, the music, content, comedy, YouTube clips and news we receive each day is very likely sent to us by friends, family and colleagues. In other words, the content we consume finds it's way to us.
It also is likely that those same people have sent it around to 10 other people and that we will do the same.
I know that's the case with the "Sarah Palin Baby Name Generator," which Gilbert Cruz reported on recently in TIME Magazine.
At least 14 friends and colleagues have sent The Generator to me. It is viral -- and it is hilarious.
Based upon the Alaska Governor's choice of unusual names for her children, The Generator is some kind of program chock full of funny, Hallmark-ish, Paul Bunyan-esque names that invites you to enter your first name and BOOM! You have your own customized Palin moniker.
Mine is Pie Gallon Palin.
Incidentally, I typed U.S. Sen. Barack Obama's name into The Generator: Obama is Chase Rooster Palin.

I held out on blogging on this, but The Sarah Palin Baby Name Generator truly illustrates how the new media and technologies of our time can help spread content faster than you can forward an e-mail to your 30 best friends.
