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 thought I knew my fellow YouTubers well, but I learned some interesting facts about some of my favorites in a new book by Frederick Levy (see his YouTube channel). Levy covers some famous YouTubers, and me too. There’s a Q&A and some coverage about the NAPPY campaign I had almost supressed. Worth a read…
Next New Networks is debuting an online-video show about online video. Googleburn, which appears each Wednesday is: “the sting in your eyes when you’ve been ogling online videos all night and it’s 6 AM on Monday and oh dear lord you can’t see anything because the Internet blasted you with whiteout,” says host Nick Douglas…
Why can’t I attract an all-star cast like this “I’m F’ing Ben Affleck” music video that’s going viral as I type? (The link takes you to Funny or Die, although the video originally aired on Jimmy Kimmel Live). It’s staring: Jimmy Kimmel, Ben Affleck, Robin Williams, Don Cheadle, Harrison Ford, Brad Pitt, Cameron Diaz, Christina Applegate,…
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 because Flandez didn’t interview The…
Wow. For a minute I thought this online video fad would pass like the pet rock. But now ComScore ordains it as “officially going mainstream.” We at WillVieoForFood take a more cautious perspective. We’ll believe it’s mainstream when our grandmothe starts watching online videos. Since she’s dead, that’s not happening soon. Here’s the press release…
And this thank-you melody goes for you WillVideoforFood visitors especially.

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 🙂
