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.
Post illegal content to YouTube and don’t expect it to protect you. Here’s an “All Headline News” article that shows violated copyright owners can go right to the uploader… When Viacom Inc.’s Paramount Pictures asked for the name of a YouTube user who posted a 12-minute clip containing dialog from the movie the “Twin Towers,”…
Interesting article from PBS MediaShift about the nuances of the YouTube homepage. As many have discovered, an editor’s pick on YouTube is a career-changing moment. Take Mark Day with his Smiley Intervention. He’s transformed from a local California comedian to an “web-lebrity.” I have nightmares about his bald face against a yellow wall. This MediaShift piece also clarifies…
Look where Napster is advertising. YouTube. Alex, I’ll take “irony” for $1,000 It reminds me of high school when my friend Lee would cheat off of our friend Paul… neither studied. Napster’s “online media buyer” reports the YouTube buy is part of a fantastic suite of CPMs he nailed on sites that also include WebVan,…
So I took a deliberate spill while hosting a panel at Streaming Media East called “Creating and Promoting Amateur Videos.” Paul Kontonis, CEO of For Your Imagination, screamed like a teenage girl, but was one of few people that realized it was a joke. The fall is 1 minutes and 9 seconds in. Warning: Per…
Oh I’m not going to read this, but feel free to summarize it in the comments. It’s a CNN report about the viral video winners, and I’m not among them. Not that I’m jealous or anything.
Something terribly frightening occured to me this morning. I’ve always enjoyed taunting YouTube with prank calls, pizza deliveries and rants. I criticized the GooTube acquisition, and have generally visited YouTube like a parent chaperoning a high school dance. Most video creators start with a desire to entertain and are only now (1 year later) trying…

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 🙂
