Here is a quick post because my readers demand it ;) But seriously, thanks for the “push” – always nice to know that people want more :)
Well… related to my previous post How To Create A Viral Video – I ran into this series called Viral Video Film School. It’s a bit silly and sarcastic [...]

Here is a quote I received earlier this week:

Aim at perfection in everything, though in most things it is unattainable. However, they who aim at it, and persevere, will come much nearer to it than those whose laziness and despondency make them give it up as unattainable.
I thought it was motivating, with an interesting perspective. [...]

Just came across an interesting article: Who clicks on ads? (Revisited with data) about the majority of people that click on online ads. Some interesting points like:

Happy holidays and a happy new year. At the end of the year people often look back over what happened that year. I think viral videos are fascinating – how a video travels around the world through word-of-mouth or click-of-link from person to person until millions of people have seen it.

Alright, time to give a little back to my loyal readers and commentators :) Here are a few interesting posts from the people that commented the most during the month of September…
Saman has an interesting post about how you can try Service Pack 3 for Windows XP before it’s officially released – but I would [...]
