I’ve had a few friendly feuds about what it means to be viral. Faris Yakob says, “as the viral / spreadable discussion continues, it is important to remember that how you think about something does matter, because the metaphors we use can change how we approach things.” Meme videos spread because we decide to share them with our friends. They’re “viral,” but not the “cold” kind. Or worse, like Swine flu. view

The latest viral ad from GameFly - the world's leading online video game rental service, is stripped down, scriptless and is the core essence of their longer commercial. The short shows the power of good editing and well-placed title cards that illuminate the stages of exhilarahition that quickly devolves into pure rage when you purchase a video game you THINK is going to rock. This ad is a lesson to all ad agencies out there reminding them that brevity is the soul of wit. view

Those scamps at Sarcastic Gamer “improve” on Microsoft’s utopian vision of the future (if the economy doesn’t totally collapse and we all wind up subsistence farming in vacant lots, that is). view

The fact that my wife Kim is one of the hot girls has little bearing on the fact that this is a really funny, smart Q&A series in the vein of "Ask a Ninja." view

My favorite online video ever: "Strong Kids, Safe Kids" - an actual, unedited special from the ‘80’s that taught kids how to deal with sexual abuse. view
