The Mad Search for the Most Popular Videos

ByNalts

I’ve noticed that my most popular posts are not my deepest thoughts about the future of online video, or about how amateurs can make money. Nope, if I want blogger popularity I simply write about what video is hot that week.

popular.jpgIndulge me, dear readers, in an experiment. In this post I will write about the hotest videos. I’ll report back how many views this post gets. Did you know that Emmalina is the most popular YouTube uploader? BritBot& Simula Special gets more comments than most. The Diet Coke and Mentos fad, unfortunately, is not over. Today I’ll get at least 4 e-mails asking me if I’ve seen the Comcast guy sleeping. Don’t ask me why, but computer animation with musical scores are all the rage. Check out Naruto AMV- Hinata’s Perfect World. It’s one of the top rated videos on YouTube.

Today thanks to Google sponsors you can watch Felix the Cat for free (which is nice, because I’ve been wanting to watch him for a while, but didn’t want the guilt of searching for an illegal posting of him… that was sarcasm on both fronts). Paris Hilton is the number one video on Google Video. That name still gets searches, doesn’t it? Or is she yesterday?

Learning how to fold a perfect shirt seems to be hot on MetaCafe. And here’s one of the shortest most viral clips: Hiding the beer gut. And Dancing Around the World is one video that deserves the viral status it’s getting. Most people will stop watching this video of an Asian woman performing what appears to be an illicit act but is actually an ad.

Okay- I’m fried. It ‘aint easy finding the good stuff.

Here’s the result, titled “Butter Attack.” This was inspired when yesterday morning, David (WhistlersBrother) sent me his song titled “Binny’s Bop,” which reminds me of the Bobby McFarlin…

Dear YouTube “Star”: You Won’t Get Rich Selling Your Videos

ByNalts

I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again in case you weren’t listening. Unless you’re Felicia Day or maybe MediocreFilms, don’t bother selling your amateurish videos online. I don’t know that I’ve made any money selling copies on YouTube (heck I don’t even know if I’ve activated it). And I’ve sold exactly two of…
