College Humor is an Awesome Website

Collegehumor.com is by far one of my favorite websites of all time. Not only does it relate directly to my age group, but the entertainment value is better than anything you can find on TV. This is mainly due to its interactive features and varying forms of content. I usually write about Google in these blogs, but I thought I would switch it up to a different less serious format. I've been going on college humor religiously since I was a sophomore in high school. I don't know if it was the format of the site, or the constant updates that they posted that initially kept me coming back, but for some reason it really kept me interested.
I do have to say I love viral videos and what college humor does is sort through thousands of videos to find the most unique and entertaining of all of them than make post and comments on them. That is by far my favorite part of the site. I enjoy both watching the videos and reading the comments. Almost everyone on the site seems witty and funny. I hate going on sites just to see everyone on it arguing about something stupid or objective.
The most noteworthy part of the site that relates to eMarketing is the integration of advertisements and promotions. Busted tees is a sponsor of the site and has some of the funniest t-shirts I have ever seen, and they have made several funny post and videos about their company, which works to entertain the sites guests and promote their product. Also more recently they had an AXE dirty video contest where college students would compete to create "dirty videos" where they had to use AXE body wash to clean themselves at the end, all with differing story lines and most of the time attractive woman. It works too, also right now their entire site has been revamped to include the new product form Mountain Dew. It makes the site look cool, and adds new entertainment. I love it, and there are more and more sites like it with new and interesting content. One of my new favorites is thebachelorguy.com. Its a new site just for men promoting gadgets, style tips, and other random news facts. All in all I'd say that sites like these that are popping up all across the net are gold for many online businesses and it's definitely something to keep an eye on.
