The Netflix Meltdown Addendum: The Netflix Relief Fund

A little perspective from the folks at Funny or Die. Hat tip to @AdeleLaurie for the find.

Donovan scores and patriotism swells. The viral video proves it!

There are those who bad mouth soccer. They call it goofy names. Some even go so far as to call it unAmerican. I can't think of a more American and patriotic moment than this. This just also happens to be a killer example of the social aspect of web video as this little clip is a compilation of several YouTube videos. I love it when my passions collide. Go Yanks!

Why? An Example.

Just thought of a great example to go with my earlier post. In this video, we're told the story of an ad agency trying to figure out how best to show the speed of a Samsung SSD (Solid State Drive). These are super fast drives that make nerds like me geek out. The IT guy (the target nerd) basically said, yeah one is fast but 24 strung together, now that would be really fast. And for nerds, really cool. Thus is born a video that makes nerds giggle with excitement. And judging from the 2.8 million views, those nerds are sharing their giggles with friends.

Go back to the whys: Why do I want to watch this video? It shows how wicked fast Samsung SSDs are and I think that's cool. Why do I want to share this video? Because I want to reveal in my nerdness with my nerd friends and talk about how wicked fast Samsung SSDs are. Once you have the whys, the what becomes pretty simple.

From a business stand point, this was a super cheap "spot" to create. There is no media buy. If you Google "SSD Drive" this video shows up on the first page. Pretty awsome ROI. Why is the way.
