I’m not sure how you can get Rick rolled more than once in your life. It’s basically where you open a link and you’re web browser pops open with Rick Astley singing Never Gonna Give you up and you can’t get rid of the noise until you’ve closed about a billion close windows each with a song lyric instead of ‘Are you sure you want to close?’. Anyway getting Rick rolled sucks but… it’s pretty interesting that your computer can make you perform a physical behaviour.
I can’t wait until we get something like ‘Interactive FlashTube’ where you can actually click on Paris Hilton’s clothes to remove them. Or watch a choose your own adventure video. Or put instructional videos online with questions throughout.

Watched the youtube link. What the ??
I must be getting old, I have never been ‘Rocked’ and had no idea who he was till I clicked on the link!
I think web2.0 is moving more towards the type of things you have described though. As we move away from javascript to create interactivity to flash which has the advantage of being more secure and also most people have falsh player installed, I think we are seeing more and more effectiv uses of flash. Want to see some great examples? Go to http://www.flashclassroom.com/cms/flashclassroom/index.php?vsite=1&Area=262&SubSectionOf=0 and click on Gallery then game Design and it has some great examples students have created.
