Viral Madness
We were so excited to hear that youtube wanted to feature "Memory Game" for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. To add to it, dailymotion.com wanted to feature it too.
The responses were, lets say...diverse. "Memory Game" wasnt made for a broad audience. It brought out the best and worst in people. Last I checked, it's been viewed 310,000 times, featured in 35 countries and had a 1000+ comments. Not bad for an art film!
Our Youtube account was hacked, an honor shared by Tay Zonday of "Chocolate Rain" fame. The youtube squad team had trouble stopping this guy (yes I am assuming the person is not a woman) who changed the title, description and tags on our video. 3 of our 5 days of front page madness were tarnished by this dude, and then youtube had to take our account down to try to fix the problem, so our momentum was zapped.
The dailymotion experience was pretty smooth. No racists or hackers. They also chose to feature another Wild Horse Society video about Hugs for Valentines Day. Sweet, huh?!
Some of the comments on youtube are pretty unbelievable, and are worth checking out if you feel like hating on something:
