Doppleganger week: who is your Facebook celeb look alike?

The literal definition (or at least according to Wikipedia) of Doppelganger is  “In the vernacular, the word “doppelgänger” has come to refer (as in German) to any double or look-alike of a person.”

On Facebook this week, the definition of Doppleganger is something like, “change your profile picture on Facebook to the picture of a celebrity you’ve been told you like.”

Fun, simple and really making quite the buzz today according to Google trends.

So I am thinking back on who I’ve been told I most look like and here’s what I’ve come up with so far:

UFC Champ Brock Lesnar

Encino Man

Or, that really cute bird in Up (who just so happens to also be named Kevin)

If none of these work I can always use the celebrity look alikes generator, FaceDouble.

5 Funny Videos I found online

My Top Ten Tweeters not on Twitter

(Photo credit: Lost Art of Blogging)

While I think all the people on Twitter that I follow are awesome, here’s the ten people that I think would be the coolest tweeters (with the help of my twitter friend @uncleweed):

1 to 5 are literary giants. Who else is more capable of saying amazing and profound things in 140 characters or less?

1. Haruki Murakami, Japanese writer of multiple international bestsellers, including Kafka on the Beach and the Wind Up Bird Chronicles.

2. Salman Rushdie, needs no introduction.

3. Sir Vidiadhar Surajprasad Naipau ( V. S. Naipaul), the 2001 Nobel Laureate for Literature.

4. Douglas Coupland, famous author and chronicler of Canadian culture.

5. Stephen King, think about it, those would some seriously messed up tweets!

The next five don’t really fit any single category.

6. Robert S. Mueller, the head of the FBI, tweeting about undercover spy-ops (yes, I know they wouldn’t be very undercover if he was tweeting them).

7. Robin Williams, just tweeting spontaneous random funny things all day.

8. Neil Patrick Harris, but only if his life is exactly how it was in Harold and Kumar go to White Castle.

9. J.J. Abrams, maybe the Executive Producer of Lost would slip up an tweet the ending!

And last but not least:

10. Martha Stewart, just dropping tips on how to clean the hot sauce stain out of my t-shirt and a new recipe for pistachio crusted white fish.

So those are mine (and @uncleweed’s), who would you suggest? Either leave a comment or tweet at @kgrandia.

A quest for video search success

So you might have noticed that I like to post a lot of cool video content to this site. And if you know me, you know that it’s because I like to laugh. So I’ve decided that I might as well put all this video posting to good use and try to optimize for a solid, medium competitive keyword that will bring TMOW a nice bit of consistent traffic.

The term “video” and “funny video” are out the question given the massive amount of competition, but I think I’ve found a good keyword combination that I could aim to get stuck in the top 20 by January or so.

Here’s a screen shot of the Google Keyword tool results for “video” where the search term I’m aiming for is listed:

Any guesses which keyword combination I’m going for?

I will report back on any tricks I learn along the way. Video has never been an area I’ve competed for high search engine page results, so I it’s think a valuable excercise given the massive search volumes for some of these terms.
