The new bizarre online fad
Want to catch up with the latest online diversion? Then, check the video below.
chat roulette from Casey Neistat on Vimeo.
If you saw the video until the end, you now know a bit of Chat roulette, a website that randomly links users to one another through web-cam conversations -- and attracts some of the strangest people in the world.
For me it seems very weird to go to a website to talk to people you’ve never heard before and if the person thinks you are not good looking or don’t have an nice conversation, they can easily press the “next” bottom to spin the wheel to connect to the next random stranger. Obviously, the chances you find someone with whom you wish to actually speak are incredibly small…
And despite its weirdness, Chatroulette is in the roll. According to TechCrunch, the young website quadrupled in size in a month, attracting 3.9 million visitors worldwide in February, up from 944,000 in January, 2010.
I didn’t have the guts to try it myself, but I would love to know your thoughts if you ever decide to try it…

Movies go social
I was reading an article about How Lionsgate Plans to Take on 'Twitter Effect' for 'Kick-Ass' and I think it’s interesting to observe how a film success is increasingly dependent on social media efforts nowadays.
After Avatar’s massive box office success being attributed to all the word of mouth generated through their use of social media, I believe that we will definitely see more and more use of social media to help build online buzz around independent movies, television shows and DVD releases of blockbuster.
To promote the launch of the movie “Kick-Ass”, for example, Lionsgate is putting together their brand pages on YouTube, Facebook and MySpace under one unique platform. They said that the platform will allow them to integrate user comments, video streams and tweets (via a branded hashtag) on one place, with real-time metrics to show isolated and combined traffic statistics.
I’m curious to see if their tactic will pay-off, but it will surely be very hard for them to bit Avatar, which was ranked #2 highest grossing film of all times.

5 ideas of how to make a video go viral
In my research about viral videos on the web, I was able condense some good ideas of how to make a video go viral. Check it out:
1. The best videos are usually those that do not exceed 3/5 minutes. As thousands of new videos are placed on the web every minute, you have little time to attract the attention of your target reader.
2. If you want to create a viral video, you should take into account that it needs to be provocative, interesting and unique.
3. Optimize your videos with tags and a title that is easily found by most readers looking for videos in this niche. Create an attractive title and if necessary, change the title in the future to even more clicks and visitors.
4. Create a series of videos. If your first video is a success, all readers will want to come back to see the other ones.
5. Submit your video from a variety of video online websites (not only YouTube). Here are some video websites:
· Collegehumor
· Funny or Die
· Life Leak
· Metacafe
· Dailymotion
· MySpace TV
· Break
