Why Videos Go Viral
In this talk Kevin Allocca talks about how videos get popular and go "viral"
Trends manager for Youtube
In this he talks about how internet web videos become viral in such a a short time span. As a trends manager for Youtube he gets paid to watch videos. And being a trends manager, you are paid, to see how trends start on Youtube and become widely known to the world. Most "viral" videos are apparently started from celebrity introduction, and from there on become widely known very fast. For instance, Jimmey Kinnel introduced the double rainbow guy. Daniel tosh introduced the viral pop monstrosity friday. And even Justin Beiber got started right off of Youtube.
I like most teens am on youtube frequently almost every day, and when he says that 2 days worth of video are uploaded every day its really not that hard to believe. So when I watch a Youtube video and ask myself, why is this video so popular, or why isn't this video more popular? I wanted to have an answer.
This made me think about how things outside the internet and how they can become a big deal very fast. And as cheezey as it sounds, it may help to understand the idea behind what people are thinking in buisiness and how that could or could not affect me later in life.
