Here’s another viral video making the rounds. I first became aware of it when Kara Swisher posted about it, noting that it had made Robert Scoble spew Diet Coke out of his nose. Then Iñaki mentioned it when Oriol and I had lunch with him and Dani on Wednesday (btw, really nice guys. I’d invited them via Facebook to meet up with us. They quickly said yes and then even paid for our lunch! We chatted for about 2 hours about nothing and everything. A good time was had by all, and we will pay for the next meal! We’ll probably even invite them to our next party, though they’ve made us promise to keep the video cameras off . . . .) And then today, I noticed that various VC blogs were posting the video.

So I could no longer resist the peer pressure.

I think the video’s mildly humorous and relevant only to tech geeks (have I become one of those?). But in the end, I’m a bit of a lemming (i.e., easily influenced). If influential people say it’s important, I guess it must be important. And if the makers of the video recommend that I put it in a blog (and important bloggers have done so), then I guess I should do it too.

Maybe that’s what Dan meant about content not being the key factor?

I promise to try to be more original going forward . . . . I’m not in high school anymore . . . If the cool kids jumped off a bridge, I wouldn’t jump. Would I? . . . .
