I don't know what was funnier; the show itself or the reactions of the people eating in the food court. Marty's last blog post..My Top Entrecard Droppers

very nice...what makes a viral is it's compelling enough to make you want to tell others about it! JTPratt's Blogging Mistakes's last blog post..Create an Affiliate Store in 5 Minutes from Data Feed

Javo, I agree, the fun factor has got to be a part of making it viral.

Lydia, try that link again. I upgraded my WordPress to 2.5 yesterday and it seems to have wonkified (technical term) a couple of my links. Also, if you haven’t upgraded to 2.5, you may find that fixes your problems. They have added a number of great media management tools to the new admin interface and it makes it much easier to embed videos in your posts.
thanks for stopping by!

Would love to know how to get the videos on my blog. Went to your wired wiki link but it gave me a not found message.
I have been trying to put up two videos this entire week and not getting any sound.

@ Kerry, great point! That dangerous element amidst all the silly fun definitely got my attention too; it was the moment the video actually clicked into viral mode for me. nice.

@ Todd, I think that’s a good summary of types and a good point. And some viral videos contain all three of those elements. I’m looking for a few like that right now so if you know if any, feel free to post ‘em

I think there are basically three types of videos that have a chance of going viral … those that are useful, and those that are funny, and those that are controversial.

This one was definitely funny. I’d pass it on.

I guess that makes it viral.

Definitely viral! It easily felt contrived until “security” arrived and injected the element of danger…OMG! What will happen next? They sang their little amateur hearts out and everyone had fun…definitely viral!
