I like a good parody and this is one of the better ones I've seen in a while. Here's the Wii Fit Parody. So here's my question: I don't have a Wii Fit so is this video a little too accurate or is the Wii Fit actually a decent workout?

Special thanks to John Ellis for suggesting this week's video.

Two weeks ago Twitter announced a new way for businesses to use Twitter with the launch of their "Promoted Tweets" program as a way for brands to select some of their existing Tweets "to highlight to a wider group of users." Although this may be good for a few companies, for most of us it's probably not necessary because...

Social media and internet stats are something I'm always keeping my eyes on as key indicators of growth, decline, or change in the marketplace. Here are several interesting social and internet stats from a new Arbitron survey that are worth noting...

I'm always interested in creative uses of online video, and Mystery Guitar Man is one of the best. I noted recently that editing video is just as important as what you shoot for the video and this guy proves that over and over again. A well edited video can turn a 1000 little snippets of video into this...

A year ago I had the chance to interview Rhett and Link. They're very talented and very popular online. Their YouTube videos have over 44 million total views combined. When they talk about online video you should listen to what they say. Clearly, they're doing a lot of things the right way. Here's the interview...

A few days ago Google announced that they rolled out a new search feature that allows you to search Twitter's database of Tweets on a time line. There are some very interesting applications for businesses with this new service, particularly when it's fully rolled out because...

Without the Internet how would we ever see videos like this butterfly guy from France? Thankfully, we can see it and enjoy the random, odd hilarity it provides.

Sometimes it's good to mix things up a bit so today I present you with Social Media: The Haiku...

One of the biggest challenges about getting social media efforts implemented in business today is trying to convince the people who don't understand. In most cases the very people who make the decisions are the least informed about social media. One way to help your case is to show good solid data. Thankfully, the folks over at Forrester Research have updated some numbers that should help you out. I'd recommend you hang onto these...

Not since last year's now famous David After Dentist video has there been a patient recovering from the dentist's medication that provided so much entertainment. Enjoy this week's video.

Vanilla Ice is best known for three words: Ice, Ice, Baby. If you know that song you probably know the next most famous three words: stop, collaborate, and listen. These happen to be pretty darn good insights into the world of social media.

This post was originally written almost two years ago and it's one of my favorite social media analogies ever. The funny thing is that it's still very applicable today so here it is in its entirety...

This is a great video to give us a sense of how big the Internet is worldwide today. Be sure to pay close attention to the social networking and online video stats. If it's not clear that the Internet today simply isn't what it was even a few years ago, perhaps these statistics will help change that. Enjoy!

It's here. The iPad landed on Saturday and there's a ton of hype about it. It's already sold more units than the iPhone did when it first came out, but is the iPad a game-changing device and is social media affected? My answer is yes to both. Here's why...

I love examples of people who take an average job and make it something remarkable and worth talking about. In this instance, a Turkish ice cream server was so entertaining that a tourist recorded and posted his performance to YouTube and the video is closing in on 400,000 views.

I think there are some good lessons for anyone in business here. It's one thing to serve ice cream. Almost anyone can do that. It's another thing entirely to make the ice cream service the best part of the experience. Enjoy the Turkish ice cream server video.
