YouTube’s blog recently announced some new features, including the ability to leverage Google search to find YouTube videos. They also posted a page that shows what videos received the most video replies ever. I was pleased to see that my Bore Me (which has 126 responses) ranks in the top 20.
There are a lot of folks out there that like to bore. Someone should do a psychological study on this.
I used to play a game with my kids. I’d tell them a bedtime story and stop. They’d have to finish the sentence. Then we’d take it in the direction they wanted. That’s the spirit behind The GooTubeConspiracy. The storyline is dictated by the viewers. Toss a good comment or video response and you’ll see…
The kid who stole Mark Bao’s laptop made two mistakes beyond “Mac-larceny.” He recorded himself dancing on the stolen laptop’s webcam, and failed to realize that the victim, Mark, had installed recovery software on the machine. So Mark, an 18-year-old student at the University of Massachusetts, connected remotely to his Macbook Air laptop, retrieved this…
For months, YouTube Cewebrity Paul Robinette (Renetto) has been posting video blogs (vlogs) about his discontent on YouTube. He has criticized the site for how it handles the small but vocal video community, and has stirred up drama with the grace of an Olympic gymnist. In the past few weeks, Robinette quietly launched Vloggerheads.com with…
Today’s Wall Street Journal has an article by Raymund Flandez called “Lights, Camera, Sales: How to Use Video to Expand Your Business in a YouTube World.” It’s positioned on the front page as “Small Business: How to Use Video to Grow.” I’ve got some issues with the piece, and not just becauseĀ Flandez didn’t interview The…
Canadian publication “Globe and Mail” did a story about viral video: cashing in or cashing out. I’m mentioned a few times in the piece, and it’s an interesting exposition… Globetechology.com Jennifer Hollett takes on a variety of views about the appropriateness of sponsored ads. I was tickled to see Hollett digging up this old piece…

isnt bore me a recent video of yours? just imagine the responses in a year!
Oh dear. I guess the DVD compilation will have to be 3 DVDs.
You got that many replys because you asked for 30 second clips…
What’s 30seconds of someones life compared to:
1) Free hits
2) Possability of new subscribers
3) Possability of being featured in a compilation video
4) Easy way into joining the community
Near anyone will make something for 30 seconds. I bet you if it had been a no limit thing you won’t have nearly half the ammount you had.
*insert research and conclution here*
“Bore me”, was a great video to make a response to, especially for me, because I am an expert boreologist!
Boring is meditative. I bet your kids, when overloaded, will stop for a couple of moments and just stare or “space out” for a few seconds. It’s supposed to be a good thing and I was told never to disrupt a person, especially a child, when they do that. Something along the lines of the brain catching up with itself, a quick nap. Need more RAM. I think it runs along the lines of why we like repetition.
I think “Bore Me” provided a great service š
Yea Nalts that was a booster for me! And Tripplehelix – I did the medicine cabinet and bored video and bored surpassed the hits of the medicine cab one. Not that many hits put still some data for you. THANKS NALTS!
