You may be one of the almost 5 million YouTube viewers who have already seen "Dancing" since it was posted several weeks ago, but if not, you should check it out. It's a 4½-minute video of a guy doing a simple, silly dance in dozens of places around the world. That's it.
But while his little jig is whimsical, his inspired video is surprisingly captivating and uplifting.
It's a testament to both individual creativity and shared spirit (not to mention the power of modern communications media) that an "ordinary" guy can so easily touch the hearts and brighten the day of millions of people around the world.
[NOTE: For a higher quality version of the video (which I recommend), follow this link to YouTube and select the "watch in high quality" option under the views counter.]

I just loved this! I can't believe that guy went to so many places. What an amazing experience. I wonder if the sponsor paid his way, and when the sponsor hooked onto him, before or after he had gained a following with the earlier videos? Another interesting example of a company using social media techniques for marketing purposes.
That is super cool.
Great video! And he even had a split second in front of the Bean (Cloudscape) at Millennium Park in Chicago, but he didn't label it...
