Dude-Tube vs. YouTube

Tuesday i woke up and checked my email on my iPhone (i have an iPhone). The little ding sound i set to notify me when i got a new message was going off. Over and over and over…

When all was said and done, i had like 150 new emails piped from my Gmail account to my iPhone.

They ended up all coming from YouTube. WTF? I just assumed i got some weird spam bull shiz. Which is partly true.

Backup 1 month: I started uploading a few vids to YouTube to take the traffic/bandwidth dent off my site and figuring it’d drive some new traffic here.

One of the videos i put up was of Harstad riding the dude-tube at Ski Acres aka Central a few weekends ago. The clip was using the Vholdr camera that attaches to your goggle strap. These things are fukkin sic but that’s another story.

Anyways…i was getting all these comments on this vid that i posted on YouTube. I had my account set to email me each time someone posted a comment.

I found out later that the reason i was getting all these emails (an account setting i quickly turned off) was because the video was featured on the front page of youtube.com. Holy shit! The video had maybe 40 views last week, now it’s up to 200,000 and climbing. Last i checked it’s still on the front page. As a result i’ve seen the traffic on nwBro spike mega too.

Here’s the video. Some of the comments are soo damn funny.

But here’s the best part. The video below is a ‘video response’ to me posting this video. This guy took the time to film himself clowning this video. So rad… Makes me want to get a bunch of piercings and spike my hair too.
