Site:Mediafire.com list

I was searching for an album on mediafire.com using Google, and I forgot momentarily the name of the album. During the pause, a handy google list popped up of searches people were doing using "site:mediafire.com." I assume the list tells the most popular items people are trying to download off mediafire based on Google searches.
















I then wondered whether there is a difference between mediafire and other similar file sharing sites. Well, there is. Rapidshare clearly trends towards the pornographic. Also the most popular terms are much more generic. What kind of "wife" are you looking for? There sure are a lot of "movies" on the web. Are you looking for a particular one?

Cool Web Graphic of the Day

It's not often that you see a striking web banner that makes you want to write about it, but but Liberty bar in Seattle sure knows how to design a web ad. I love the simple colors and the combination of fonts. My favorite part of the ad though has to be the "Dinner? / Late Night Snack? / Take Out?" Is the Liberty daring the viewer to order a late night snack or perhaps they're inquiring what you're up to tonight. They probably just want to hang with you.

The BWF Media Empire Expands

twitter.com/broswinforever

The World is Our Oyster, as Martin Luther King said, quoting Confucious. Well, the world may be a tougher nut to crack than some people think, but the internet is laying wide open at our feet. I believe John F. Kennedy, jr. said that. But I could be wrong.

Whoever did say that, they were right. BrosWinForever has established itself a twitter. Perhaps in a few weeks, the technical staff at BWFnetworks will figure out how to integrate the two, but until then, subscribe to the twitter, and get your friends to too.


Oh No He Didn't - Jumping Edition

Though we bros have closely tracked many memes over the years, I feel that this pheno-meme-non has not been given its due. Videos of pro athletes demonstrating why they are physically superior have been popping up on youtube with greater frequency recently, and of these the creme de la creme may just be the video of Jarron Gilbert jumping of out a pool.



The sheer athletic talent of Gilbert is just plain ridiculous given that he also has posted a video of himself squatting 635lbs. Even though he did not attend the most high profile football school (San Jose State), Gilbert successfully parlayed his internet fame (and maybe his football talent, too) into getting drafted by the Chicago Bears this past April. As he was a third round pick, Gilbert actually has a pretty good shot of making the team in training camp this summer, which is more than can be said for fellow internet celeb Keith Eloi.



An undrafted free agent out of Nebraska-Omaha, Eloi will probably struggle to make the Redskins squad in training camp. Regardless of Gilbert and Eloi's ultimate success, it is long overdue for us bros to salute these shining examples of supreme memedom. One has to wonder though how long it will be until someone gets hurt trying to pull off one of these- No Kobe! Nooooooo!
