<p>The dog in this video is so well trained and synchronized with the man, so human-like sometimes, that one can&#8217;t feel to wonder if this could possibly be fake? (adding to this, it&#8217;s the only video on this user&#8217;s Youtube account).</p>
<p>Maybe not, but either way it got 1.5 million views in just 5 days, which is very impressive.</p>
<p>What do you think?</p>

<p>It&#8217;s in the 300 views limbo on Youtube, but I&#8217;m sure it will have many more soon.</p>

<p>It really seems like a viral for a brand (the type of content, camera work), but we can&#8217;t figure out for what brand and nobody spoke yet saying it was their viral, so it&#8217;s all a bit mysterious to us at this point.</p>
<p>Anyway, it has become a sure viral hit, with 1.5 million views in just a week, which is impressive.</p>
<p>If you have further information, do let us know.</p>
<p>Goes without saying you should NOT try this at home!</p>

<p>But now with the launch of the Priority Inbox feature for Gmail, they may be back.</p>
<p>For one, there are millions of Gmail users who might be interested to know what it is and how it works. Then, it&#8217;s been a trending topic on Twitter since it was announced last night, making people even more curious and sharing several links about it. Finally, the video is great, which also helps greatly to make it more shareable.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s at 315 views on Youtube (but there are already many more, since the views are only counted every two hours or so), we&#8217;ll see how it goes in the coming hours and days.</p>

<p>Although many people find it ridiculous, there&#8217;s no doubt that the video going viral makes them reach more people than they would usually, and certainly will make them more sales.</p>
<p>As a bonus video, check out the new video from Snuggie, which has already started going viral: the Snugarena!</p>

<p>The vibe coming from it reminds us a bit of Wes Anderson movies, doesn&#8217;t it?</p>
<p>Worth taking a look:</p>

<p>It seems special effects at one point (particularly when the bubbles burst), but again, probably real. What do you think?</p>

<p>Cee Lo&#8217;s single for his new album got the <a href="http://www.theviralmarketingblog.com/?s=kinetic&amp;x=0&amp;y=0">kinetic text animation</a> treatment and with that (plus a great song) got a video that has become a viral hit over the weekend (with +1 million views in 4 days).</p>
<p>In the video description, he states that a &#8220;full video&#8221; will be coming up, but we could certainly see this becoming a trend with other artists, releasing a &#8220;lyric video&#8221; as he calls it before the <em>actual </em>official video.</p>
<p>Of course if the song is good, it&#8217;s easier, and this one is!</p>
<p>Check it out:</p>
