Creating a Cupcake Meme

by Steve Broback on December 30, 2005

When I gifted Saturday Night Live’s On a Lazy Sunday Short via iTunes to a few friends, I had no idea it had been downloaded 1.2M times. I read about in the NYTimes on the flight back from Maui. In about a week, SNL is suddenly relevant again, really funny, and turned some unknowns into web superstars. It’s good to laugh out loud again at SNL, even if it’s just once a season. If you’ve wondered what a meme is, the short video a great example. While your business may not have the writing talent of Andy Samberg and Chris Parnel, think about blogging a video podcast that could engage your audience, drive traffic, and go crazy for the cupcakes cousin!

Crap, didn’t think of that — try Googling A Lazy Sunday and it’ll come up with more sources.
