1. What to do if you are lack of fantasy making a brake through viral video?

2. There is always an alternative – creating parodies of popular videos.

3. The latest example is video in which danish woman is looking for the baby’s father (a controversial video created by danish tourism agency) asking him respond and to come to Denmark. The video recieved 800 000 clicks, since it was posted.

4. It became a hit in Youtube (now it is removed, but you can still watch it here).

5. What is the next step of people addicted to internet or of those who are trying hard to attract attention of the audience? It’s to make a parody or a response of the famous video.

6. Browsing not too hard I have already found three responds to danish seeking woman (remember, that video was posted only 5 days ago) and the number is growing – one of them posted 34 minutes ago. And again, even making a parody you have to show your potency for irony, because the success is not granted just making a response. Here are the video answers to “danish woman seeking” (still did not gain many clicks):

You do not need a domain name or web hosting service if you want to place somewhere your website. You may use Youtube. When you upload your “website”, it can be embeded everywhere (can you imagine a better promotion?):

Google has organized an interesting event called Zeitgeist in London, dedicated to explore people creativity, today’s brand evolution etc. Live session was recorded and placed on Youtube, where four interesting persons speak about their carrier, time and life.

Today I found another animation about Twitter on www.relationship-economy.com .

Thesis: if you are doing something, understand what you are doing Don’t follow dumb standards, break the law and use own rules.

Two guys made me smile in one Youtube video. Two men acting MSN and Google characters were rapping in a search engine rap battle. I invite you to watch it :

Paulius mentioned in his last post about targeted ads. The topic is about strange ads and strange tactics. As we know Chrome is the most advertised Google’s product . But Google doesn’t finish to advertise it. Famous bloggers were shocked by the giant Chrome banner inside NY Times online version !

Does this means, that Google is searching for new users ? Or maybe Chrome is not so popular as expexted ? Onestat says that in March, 2009 approximately 0.67-1.76% of different internet visitors from different countries used Chrome. I think it is quite a little piece of this market where for example appr. 70% of visitors use IE. It may be the start of continiuos strategy to grow Chrome usage. Maybe this hand-painted style of the videos add social sense to the ad and attract bigger attention.

However let’s enjoy and watch these strange Chrome videos placed in Youtube:

One more video made for those who can not understand with their healthy brain what is Twitter. It is good to watch also for those you are deeply gone from real life with tweeting:

To say in just a few words: YouTube follows Twitter way. Google anounced a new feature called “YouTube RealTime”. It will let users see what their friends are watching, rating, commenting, etc. Nowadays just watching video on your computer’s screen means going back to non interactive TV world.

The word “instant” is very important in social networking. Google lost a battle having to close “Google answers”. So, it is a clever step for serious improve of YouTube to prolong it’s life. Without instant share what are you uploading, editing, watching or encoding the future of this huge video data base would be quite misty.

Just one hint for Google: do not forget about 12 seconds of video tweet which offers “Tweetdeck”. Maybe it is time to make just good video tweet website? Will people be interested in 1 or 3 minutes videos in near future?
