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.

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 – 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)

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.
