YouTubing: The Good, The Bad and the Goofy

Just thought I’d share a few videos I stumbled across this week. Last year, I did a post “TV Advertising: The Good, The Bad and the Ugly.” I’ll continue the spirit of that post here.

The Good

I’m a big fan of Gary Vaynerchuk (@garyvee), who made his big break hosting Wine Library TV. He’s now a branding and business development thought leader. His Ted talk pretty much sums up what he is all about. His book “Crush it” is all about doing what you love and hustling to make your dreams come true.

The Bad

Oy! This video made me cringe…and laugh a little. The video parody itself is great, but the concept highlights some major flaws in modern day public relations. PR pros need to learn the differences between new media outlets and traditional ones. Plus the whole “social media expert” thing has become a running joke on Twitter due to overuse, so let’s only use it in a joking context from now on.

The Goofy

…is also sometimes “The brilliant!” If you’re a “New Dork” like me, you’ll enjoy it.

    Great post! I love Gary as well and read his book Crush It. He’s a great public speaker and really preaches what I think is most important which is loving your career and having passion about what you do.
    Love the blog in general! Keep it up :)
