Viddler

It’s time to announce the very spiffy winners of the 5Things challenge for the month of July here at Viddler!

A whopping 44 videos were created and added to the 5Things group in July, all full of really interesting/unknown/weird/quirky/random tidbits about dozens of our users. You can see the player that displays all of the videos with “5things” tag here. I’ve had a lot of fun learning some really crazy things about all of you!

Without further ado, the big prize for the most favorited video goes to NatLiveTV with a whopping 16 votes:

Nat’s win was pretty straightforward (and she won in rapid time, getting more favorites in a much shorter period of time than our runners-up… impressive!), and then for the Judges’ Pick, the finalists were chosen by Edwinv (creator of the challenge). Today he and I deliberated to decide on a winner.

There were a ton of great videos, and the list of finalists was a long one, but we decided the video worthy of the second tee and sticker was definitely Brandon Bautista‘s. Brandon’s 5 Things included Ghostbusters, some fantastic dancing, a couple great jobs (current and former) and an impression that more than one user told me “rocked.” Edwin and I were both in total agreement that this video deserved props:

So, that’s it, right?

Nope! We had another video that’s worthy of mentioning as a bonus Judges’ Pick, uploaded on the very last day by a brand new Viddler user. WinMcDonald made this very special 5 Things video for her grandson and shared it with the group.

What’s special about this video is that it’s a lovely way of sharing memories with one’s grandchildren and one of the Viddler staff brought it to my attention today that Winnie is our most senior Viddler user, which is really cool! I’d like to see more of you helping your parents and grandparents get into video, so that they can all share stories about themselves like Winnie has.

Props to Crepehanger for helping her mother to sign up for Viddler and make this clip for her grandson:

All the winners, please contact me via Viddler message with your mailing address and t-shirt size and all three of you will be showered with Viddler goodies!

Stay tuned for Monday, when I will be announcing August’s video challenge! It’s a fun one!!
