From a Lone Man to a Movement



I've seen this video float around the web for some time now but only today did I truly come to appreciate it. This one lone fella just starts shaking it like no one's business and then suddenly others started to join him. One, two, three..and then a massive crowd followed.

Here's what Seth Godin had to say about it.

My favorite part happens just before the first minute mark. That’s when guy #3 joins the group. Before him, it was just a crazy dancing guy and then maybe oneContinue

If you like dogs, you'll love this commercial.


In this latest spot from Travelers Insurance, directed by Danny Kleinman and featuring music by Ray LaMontagne, we follow a worried dog as he searches for and ultimately finds the safest place to put his most prized-possession. I love the song, it goes perfectly with the commercial.

Don't you love it when he starts dreaming?
