Content Is King

I’ve had a few friendly feuds about what it means to be viral. Faris Yakob says, “as the viral / spreadable discussion continues, it is important to remember that how you think about something does matter, because the metaphors we use can change how we approach things.” Meme videos spread because we decide to share them with our friends. They’re “viral,” but not the “cold” kind. Or worse, like Swine flu.
Their views depend on our ability to communicate and engage each other with the content online. In today’s episode I go over the three best websites to track viral and meme videos: Visible Measures, Know Your Meme and Dipity.
An expanded list of meme examples of the most viewed videos from Visible Measures:
1. Soulja Boy: Crank That
2. Twilight
3. Mariah Carey: Touch My Body
4. Jeff Dunham: Achmed the Dead Terrorist
5. Susan Boyle (Britain’s Got Talent)
6. Leona Lewis: Bleeding Love
7. Avril Lavigne: Girlfriend
8. Chris Brown: With You
9. The Dark Knight
10. Alicia Keys: No One
11. Evolution of Dance
12. Miley Cyrus: 7 Things
13. Charlie Bit My Finger… Again
14. Rihanna: Please Don’t Stop the Music
15. Paul Potts (Britain’s Got Talent)
16. Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
17. Lezberado: Revenge Fantasies
18. Hannah Montana: The Movie

Nice show, Sarah! Very snappy and to the point. What’s going on in the background? A bit noisy.
Cheers
Good work Sarah, fun and informative video, i like that, greetings :)
Thanks!
The sound is just background noise from outside the studio. Next time, I’ll try to minimize the sound.
Thanks for the reply.
If you can’t minimize the sound maybe you can use it to your advantage by keying in a busy newsroom-type background behind you. Either way, it wasn’t a deal breaker. Still really enjoyed the episode.
Cheers
Oh yea, good idea with the busy news room. I suppose that would be one solution.
Looking forward to the next show.
Great last quote, “In order to know where you have been, you have to know where THIS is going” says it all.
mdk- Me too.
Awesome Tony.
Read the comments on youtube- they are awesome. I want to feature some in my next show too.
Hey there Sarah, have your framed this shot closer then you normally would?
I really like how the view can see more of the expressions on your face while talking!
The little bit of post production with the bird on your shoulder was very cool too! :)
Thanks luke! I did shoot this one much closer than usual, but I also did so with a different camera. The D5. Sweet!
YAY!
Holy crap, its been a while since I’ve seen a video of yours, dang your gorgeous!
Aww nice. Come back next Monday and this Thursday at 6pm EST.
Gorgeous, smart, and articulate… Trifecta. Notice how Sarah did that entire video without an “ummm” “ahhh” or any faltering whatsoever. That is how a pro works.
Hey Sarah,
Cool show. Sorry I haven’t checked it out before. Keep it up.
Cheers!
Best episode ever
That was delightful. Nice tan, nice closer shot; but most importantly your demeanor is more genuinely cheerful, confident, and playful. Keep doing that, seriously! That is the path to Win.
Mahalo!
Mahalo!
