An monkey/ape using an AK-47 video has gone viral with more than 12 million views since it was posted less than a month ago…
While it may have fooled your barber, you certainly know better. It’s an increasingly rare but solid example of using faux footage to stimulate buzz… in this case for 20th Century Fox’s “Rise of the Planet of the Apes.” See more commercial “viral” clips on the Viral Video Chart courtesy of Mashable.
I asked folks on the Yahoo Videoblogging group if they knew of good sites that review online video software. Josh Kinberg suggested FreeVlog.com. On this site, authors Ryan and Michael recently posted an entire chapter on video editing (from their book “Secrets of Videoblogging). The chapter is free and meaty. Here’s the PDF to download…
Did you get an e-mail lately with the subject, “Invitation to earn revenue from your YouTube videos”? What’s it mean? You’ve been invited to “monetize” your videos. Since my sister hates that word, let’s put it this way. You’ll share in the income that YouTube makes from advertisers. This will amount to maybe $1 per…
Lots of people have been asking me lately about the demographics about YouTube users (age, median income, gender). Here are some recent stats you’ll want in your “back pocket.” According to the YouTube “fact sheet”: Our user base is broad in age range, 18-55, evenly divided between males and females, and spanning all geographies.

So my joking reference to the “second law of viral videos” at the close of this “YouTube Viral Video Broker” clip resulted in this question from Joe Chapuis: What’s the first law of viral videos?

A team of young writers and producers lost their network show, and decided to create their own broadband content for a young online demographic. Black20 offers viral content from a small office in Brooklyn, New York. Says the website: “Our office is small, our desks don’t have drawers, and the heat craps out at least…
I’m not a regular CurrentTV checker, so thanks to Mark for alerting me to “Viral Video Film School” in the comments of my last post.

It’s not a monkey, it’s an ape. Probably a chimp.
They should have a well armed Monkey at all convenience stores 😉
BUT is it real?
when I first saw this, maybe a month ago, they had me going – I thought it was real, but then it struck me, if I was holding the camera and my little cuz was shooting things up, I wouldn’t be holding that camera.
Still, good off the wall promo for the movie – hope it’s as good as the ad.
Monkey see,Monkey do!
Oh thats a chimp alright. It’s actually very offensive to confuse us apes with monkeys. It’s like using a racial slur. It used to really get to me, but I know that most people just don’t know.
“Father forgive them, for they know not what they do”

Eligible to be viral. Really funny.
