Google Promotes EepyBird Exclusive

A clip from the EepyBird "scientists" has become available as a Google Video exclusive. Called The Domino Effect, it basically shows a lot of Mentos-induced Diet Coke geysers. What's interesting is the amount of attention that Google has devoted to the video, which warranted a post in the Official Google Blog.

post is currently sitting prominently on the main page of the Google Press Center. "A good viral video sets off a chain reaction that continues until nearly everyone has seen it, including your mom," wrote George Strompolos, Google Video Team. As Strompolos describes it, the latest EepyBird video features "a chain reaction like none other: 500 liters of Diet Coke and 1500+ Mentos, all triggered by the pull of one string." The video wasn't promoted for its "fun factor" alone, though. "It demonstrates another interesting application of our Sponsored Video program - this time with user-generated content," Strompolos asserted. "This helps producers like EepyBird earn revenue by pairing them up with our advertising partners."
