The Webby’s announced nominees for best viral video, and here are the official honorees.
Congratulations! Here are the comedy shorts as well.
I was an honoree last year, but I guess “Farting in Public” didn’t quite cross the rising bar! 🙂
First we had VHS delivery. Then we shrunk to create video for kiosks. Later we adapted video to fit a tiny window for 56K modems. And guess what? Except for performance speeds and better resolution, we’re still working with relatively the same video size despite a decade of web. Even worse, cell phones are going…
I’ve gone dark here for a record 2 months… contrast that with my manic periods which included 3 blogs per day. Of course I have two excuses: a) nothing struck me as interesting enough, b) I couldn’t remember how to login to WordPress. Today I was struck by a piece Jim Louderback (Revision3/Discovery) wrote for…
Here’s the 20/20 story on YouTubers. Read about Obama Girl and David & Dentist. My favorite part of this is Joe Penna’s story. Here’s me meeting Penna the first time… (I totally didn’t know it was him until the shades went on). Wow- I am just realizing how sweet that NextUp program is… I spoke…
If anyone tells you they know what will go “viral,” they’re lying. We all know the general rules: short, comedic, shocking, funny, sexy.

So this guy at work tells me that 10% of the weight of an old pillow is Bed Bug feces. It grosses me out. Then I figured I’d “pay it forward” by getting you a little worried. As you lay your head to rest tonight, know you’re joined by thousands of bed bugs who are…
So well done. Great reactions and the audio clinches it…. Hats (and scarf) off to Jason and other members of the Scary Snowman troupe, which seriously needs to collab with Improv Everywhere. I can see a fleet of them.

Rub my face in it, why don’t you!? I try, Kevin. I do my best. I work hard and I work long cranking out video after video after video, hoping against hope that one of them will make it out there in this elephant fart world. And what do I get? Nothing. Nada. No recognition (except from you).
Boo hoo hoo hoo! Waaaaaaaaa!
Thanks for the list. Watch out, I am going to be there the next year. Your Mom was not your Dad’s first. Gotya!

bunch of favorites were not noiominated and I saw a few animation shorts that have been around for a couple of years, not sure how they decide what gets on the list where and when. Sorry to say I haven’t seen any of the one’s Kevin listed here except Harry, but I did vote for Donnie Hoyle US@PS.
mdj: you’re kidding right? you wouldn’t want such an award would you?
If it comes with cash, I want it, j.
I DO feel like the bug collector in “Woman in the Dunes” –Hiroshi Teshigahara (1964)–stuck in a sand pit, shovelling, shovelling, shovelling to no avail.
