Heavy hitter 'Dancing Merengue Dog' enjoyed wild success on the Internet.

Film 2010: YouTube, WeTube

Susan Gerhard December 22, 2010


Eight million viewers can't be wrong, or can they? In SF360.org's annual survey of film professionals, bloggers and fans, we asked for a best or worst "online-only" video. We didn't predict most respondents would put their chosen short in both categories at the same time. Viral video: plague or unmitigatable pleasure? You decide. We present SF360.org's first collection of Bay Area online hits, from birthday dreaming to doggie dancing. (Note: In keeping with v.v. form, titles retain their original spelling and punctuation.)
