Stuck in the series of tubes




Tube to the 21st century: President-elect Obama says he plans to videotape and post the weekly presidential radio broadcast on YouTube, and he's starting with a video that is to be posted today. It's a good idea, but Obama should prepare himself for a letdown when he sees that his weekly chats with America still get fewer hits than "Funny cat plays with cardboard box LOL OMG."

For those who can't handle First Life: A London woman has filed for divorce because she caught her husband's online "Second Life" avatar -- a computer-generated character -- cavorting on a sofa with another, sexier avatar. He's getting off easy. Word is his estranged wife has found a new love in the cyber- universe of "World of Warcraft," a Death Knight with a low opinion of cheating husbands.

Limited engagement: A woman writes to Carolyn Hax, disappointed with the tiny diamond on her new engagement ring.Have we got the guy for her. Now, he has a bit of an infidelity problem, but we guarantee that her avatar's engagement ring will have the biggest bling in "Second Life."
