Toast to 2006
Posted January 2nd, 2007 by Kristin
Everyone has different standards for what they share/forward to their friends and family online. One of my sisters appears to have no such standards – tasteless jokes, pictures that make me cringe, and animations that could get me fired.
I think the stuff I share is qualitatively better; that my family and friends think to themselves, “Wow, Kristin thought this was cool, so it must be worth checking out!” On a side note, at 33 I still think that Jaws could live in my parent’s swimming pool – a slight drawback to having an overactive imagination.
So anyway, I’ll let you be the judge. Here are five things I couldn’t resist sharing in 2006.
1) Brawny Academy – “I’m the Brawny Man, but my friends just call me Brawny Man.” Thank you Georgia-Pacific for taking a risk on highly entertaining online advertising. Don’t know if it sold paper towels, but it sure cracked me up.
2) Matt Harding – Kudos to Stride Gum for sending Matt around the world to create this awesome video of himself dancing in amazing places. The resulting video ranks among YouTube’s Most Viewed (All Time) list.
3) Dove’s Campaign for Real Beauty – Maybe I’m revealing my sappy side here, but yeah Dove for creating a campaign worth being proud of. Truth speaks volumes and may develop brand loyalty.
4) Ze Frank – Here’s a concept: a video blogger with talent, intelligence and a killer sense of humor. You go Ze!
5) Brookers – She’s the frosting on my mini-wheats – not high quality, but it’s the sugar that gets me through the day. I think it’s her irreverence that brings me back again and again. She ranks #4 among YouTube’s Most Subscribed (All Time) channels.
