I’ve decided to write a book on viral video — aimed primarily at marketers and advertisers since amateur videographers and film makers don’t have enough money to buy books.

Could the female reporter in that video gush and giggle any more? I remember when interviewing the president was NOT a junior high school giggly gosh-aren’t-I-lucky-to-be-interviewing-someone-important event.
