    10 Social Media Tips from Dr. Seuss

    Here are 10 social media tips inspired by the words of Dr. Seuss. The original (and longer) article was written by Laura Cunningham of GhostTweeting.com: What the Good Doctor Taught Us: 10 Unexpected Social Media Tips from Dr. Seuss.

    1. Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive that is you-er than you. — Be yourself. And be consistent.

    2. A person’s a person, no matter how small. — Every connection counts, and people with the least amount of connections often become your most loyal fans.

    3. I meant what I said and I said what I meant. — Be true and genuine with your beliefs and posts.

    4. So the writer who breeds more words than he needs, is making a chore for the reader who reads. — Keep it short and to the point.

    5. From there to here and here to there, funny things are everywhere. — There’s always something entertaining out there to comment on.

    6. Step with care and great tact. And remember that life’s a great balancing act. — Be extra kind with your words. Stay away from contentious topics.

    7. If you keep your eyes open enough, oh, the stuff you will learn! The most wonderful stuff! — Follow interesting people. Join relevant discussions and groups. Engage with your followers.

    8. Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple. — If you need help, ask. Your social media connections will help!

    9. Will you succeed? Yes, you will indeed! Ninety-eight and three-quarters percent guaranteed! — If you try and try and try some more, there’s almost no way you can fail in social media.

    10. Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, so get on your way! — It’s time to start doing! You’ll get to the top if you don’t give up.

    David After Dentist viral video

    In May 2008, a father took a video of his 7-year-old son David after having a tooth removed at the dentist. He released this viral video in January 2009. The video has had 118,820,018 views in a little over 4 years. And 136,592,704 million views in nine years.

    As his father noted, This was taken in the parking lot of the dentist office. He was so out of it. The staff was even laughing. This lasted for a few hours and he was fine. He even laughed at the video that night. He is very smart and always has something interesting to say about many different issues. His philosophical reaction to the medication didn’t really surprise us.

    Chocolate Rain by Tay Zonday

    Chocolate Rain by Tay Zonday – a little goes a long, long way for this viral video song which has had over 90 million views in six years.

     

     

    If you’d like to sing along, here are the lyrics:

    Chocolate Rain
    Some stay dry and others feel the pain
    Chocolate Rain
    A baby born will die before the sin

    Chocolate Rain
    The school books say it can’t be here again
    Chocolate Rain
    The prisons make you wonder where it went

    Chocolate Rain
    Build a tent and say the world is dry
    Chocolate Rain
    Zoom the camera out and see the lie

    Chocolate Rain
    Forecast to be falling yesterday
    Chocolate Rain
    Only in the past is what they say

    Chocolate Rain
    Raised your neighborhood insurance rates
    Chocolate Rain
    Makes us happy livin’ in a gate

    Chocolate Rain
    Made me cross the street the other day
    Chocolate Rain
    Made you turn your head the other way

    (Chorus)
    Chocolate Rain
    History quickly crashing through your veins
    Chocolate Rain
    Using you to fall back down again
    [Repeat]

    Chocolate Rain
    Seldom mentioned on the radio
    Chocolate Rain
    Its the fear your leaders call control

    Chocolate Rain
    Worse than swearing worse than calling names
    Chocolate Rain
    Say it publicly and you’re insane

    Chocolate Rain
    No one wants to hear about it now
    Chocolate Rain
    Wish real hard it goes away somehow

    Chocolate Rain
    Makes the best of friends begin to fight
    Chocolate Rain
    But did they know each other in the light?

    Chocolate Rain
    Every February washed away
    Chocolate Rain
    Stays behind as colors celebrate

    Chocolate Rain
    The same crime has a higher price to pay
    chocolate Rain
    The judge and jury swear it’s not the face

    (Chorus)

    Chocolate Rain
    Dirty secrets of economy
    Chocolate Rain
    Turns that body into GDP

    Chocolate Rain
    The bell curve blames the baby’s DNA
    Chocolate Rain
    But test scores are how much the parents make

    Chocolate Rain
    ‘Flippin cars in France the other night
    Chocolate Rain
    Cleans the sewers out beneath Mumbai

    Chocolate Rain
    ‘Cross the world and back its all the same
    Chocolate Rain
    Angels cry and shake their heads in shame

    Chocolate Rain
    Lifts the ark of paradise in sin
    Chocolate Rain
    Which part do you think you’re ‘livin in?

    Chocolate Rain
    More than ‘marchin more than passing law
    Chocolate Rain
    Remake how we got to where we are.

    (Chorus)

    Charlie Bit Me

    Uploaded about six years ago, this viral video of a younger brother biting the finger of his older brother has had over 522 million views on YouTube.

     

     

    As the father noted: Even had I thought of trying to get my boys to do this I probably couldn’t have. Neither were coerced into any of this and neither were hurt (for very long anyway). This was just one of those moments when I had the video camera out because the boys were being fun and they provided something really very funny.
