Dodolook - Chinese Internet Star


Dodolook is an example of the latest entertainment phnomenom, ordinary people that are becoming famous because of the content that they create and post online. Dodolook is following in the footsteps of China's Dormatory Boys, who's lip sync versions of popular Chinese and Western pop songs spread like wildfire accross the internet over the past few months (and snaging them a deal with Motorola in the process). However, Dodolook is an original character, the online persona of a quirky Chinese graphic design student. Her videos are usually no more than a minute or two in length, but they are inventive and full silliness and surprises. You'll find Dodolook on Youtube.com and on her own blog/website mydodolook.com

Hello from W.L.O.

Hi, It's great to be here. This is the launch of my new blog, Ming Tian, a place of hopes and dreams. Feel free to share some of your own.

My thought for today is this "Wires Suck". Nearly all of my current dilemmas can be traced back to this fundamental truth. Why can't we just live in a wireless world were everything works seamlessly? Something to hope for, right?

Also, don't you find it odd that the word "blog" is not in the spellchecker for this site?

Cheers,

WL

Meet Secret Agnet 009 - 遇见暗探009

I recently posted this first epoisode of Agent 009 on YouTube. This is the first of several segments that I wrote, directed and produced for Chinese television in 2001.

Welcome to Ming Tien!

Hi,

This blog is a place where I can post anything that strikes my interest. One of the things that is extemelly interesting to me recently is YouTube.com. You can find "wloglobal" on YouTube.com by using the member search tool.

In the past month or so I have posted a number of my own videos on YouTube, and have also created some playlist for the following topics:

  • Bollywood
  • Chinese Televisoin Commercials
  • Common Music Videos (Videos from areas other than China or Japan)
  • Interesting Videos
  • Funny Videos
  • J-Pop Music Videos
  • Japanese Televsion Commercials
  • Mando-Pop Music Videos
  • My Films - Videos that I directed
Each time I visit YouTube I find something new and interesting. I've also started to experiment with posting video to the site directly from my mobile phone. It works great.

Recenlty, I leaned that I can publish my videos directly to this blog as well. So, that is why I've decided to actually start using it.

Stay tuned for more cool videos, music, and commentary.

W.L.O. Global
