The Secret of Internet Video Success

40 Responses (Add) | Thursday, November 8th, 2007 at 1:46am

It hasn’t even been a year since we first started streaming live, and we’ve already produced over 700 short-form videos – most of ‘em posted to our YouTube channel (but available just about anywhere and everywhere).

We’ve covered just about every area of technology for the casual consumer, but I’m sure there are plenty more of your tech questions to answer. We will certainly continue to create a “show” for the Internet, but I think I’m officially ready to hire a couple of my regular co-stars.

Doesn’t matter what I do; Wicket and Pixie always steal the show. I think this is the “Cute Overload” factor at play. So, expect to see more of them every day – hopefully, with some kind of offbeat tech angle to keep them firmly rooted in geekery.

The secret to a successful Internet video venture is… dogs:

Maybe all of us need to start ustreaming our dogs? Seriously, wireless cams attached to their heads or something? My dog is game, despite her leading a rather dull life. :P

I think animal pictures are always a big hit. I have a couple of donkeys on my blog not only crack me up, but they are making the rounds on other folks’ blogs as well. Seems to be one of the more important postings.

Alternatively, I have a video of John Pinette, who is a chubby comedian, that draws a lot of emails to me. He’s just so funny and his humor does not involve anything crude, which is quite refreshing.

Fuck you dude. If you did that to my dog, I’d strap a t-bone steak to your skull and make you sit there for about 45 minutes while I videotaped you. Now who looks stupid?

A few years ago, two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later, the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids’ room, the father said,”Take the kids and get out of the house. We’ll call the police, we don’t have a clown statue.” The “clown statue” is really a killer that escaped from jail. If you don’t post this letter on to 10 videos tonight, the clown will be in your bed at 3:00 am with a chainsaw in his hand(SORRY BOUT SPAM THIS REALLY FREAKS ME

umm everyone’s gotta relax, . . . . . it’s a trick
my dog can do it too
and they only held it for only 51 secs, . . .
seriously, . . . . don’t watch it if u guys dont’ like it
this is not even considered abuse
it’s a very small hint of mean, . . but you guys are trying to be all loyal and shit and that’s just stupid

Agreed. My dog videos got tons of viewings on youtube.
Dogs are real and totally in the moment and unconditionally give their love once they know you are worthy of it.
