My favorite thing about YouTube? Actually, my favorite thing is that I can see clips from any movie or tv show whenever I want to. That is cool. For Burt Sugarman’s Midnight Special alone, YouTube deserves kudos.
My other favorite thing is viral videos for advertising. As someone who tries to think up clever ideas for products, there is nothing more discouraging then when you come up with a great idea, but the caretakers of the brand decide it’s a bit too “out there” for their audience. With YouTube and viral videos, companies are allowed to take that chance online, and then continue to play it safe in the mainstream media.
It’s been going on a while, it’s getting to be an industry in and of itself, and something we are all aware of. So why am I choosing this as my blog topic? Just so that I have an excuse to post this video…enjoy.
