I’ve long been fascinated with infographics from a visual, information, and content intake perspective. I figured it was time to create an infographic for Spidvid because our community has been relatively active and has accumulated some decent statistics over the past few months. So I published a tweet (@Spidvid on Twitter) asking for a talented designer to collaborate with us in creating one, and Joshua Murphy of element3media kindly reached out and designed the Spidvid infographic art that you see below.

This is just the beginning of our community’s successes, and vision to become the world’s largest open and collaborative filmmaking ecosystem ever built in the history of mankind. If you need some sort of help/advice on your short film or web series, or some seed funding to develop your content, then please reach out to us and let’s discuss how we can partner up!

Cheers to infographics, innovation within the online video space, and especially to our community for producing remarkable video entertainment for the world’s audience to enjoy and share.

With each passing month online videos are getting more creative, more fun to watch, and less expensive to produce. Below are 5 remarkable viral videos from February. There are dozens of others likely just as deserving as these, so if you have a favorite please include the link in the comments below.

1. Mario Kart Is Back – Mario Kart was always a favorite video game of mine growing up, so when I saw this real life version it had to be on this list! Strap yourself in and enjoy the ride!

2. Christina Aguilera Messes Up National Anthem At Super Bowl 2011 – OK so she got most of the words right, but messed up some. I would like to know how many people actually noticed on the day of the game after all the tailgating parties that were attended!

3. Playable Angry Birds Birthday Cake – I’m a former Angry Birds addict, I’ll admit it. Seeing this kid get to play Angry Birds as his birthday cake sure beats the traditional routine of blowing out the candles.

4. College Pep Band Plays Rage Against the Machine’s “Bulls On Parade” – This song used to be on repeat back when I actually used a CD player! To hear a pep band play this so well leaves me speechless.

5. Charlie Sheen Bi-Winning Dubstep – In case you haven’t heard the word, Charlie Sheen is on Twitter now. Here is a recent interview with him that’s been edited to make him look even crazier than he already is, if that’s even possible!

It seems like with each passing month it brings with it more and more interesting viral videos. We have posted our five favorite viral videos below for September. Feel free to add yours below in the comments with a video link, or hit us up on Twitter, or Facebook.

1. The 200 yard golf gong shot

These golfers are masters of ball control. Watch below as they try to hit a 9″ gong 200 yards away by skipping their balls across a lake. Incredible, even Tiger Woods himself would be impressed!

2. OK Go – White Knuckles

OK Go are perhaps the most creative band on the planet today. They have had many viral video hits over the past few months including their newest one, “White Knuckles”. A great use of dogs too, check it out below.

3. Herding Cats

Our viral video list wouldn’t be complete without a cute animal one. Ikea brought in 100 cats and released them throughout one of their stores in the UK. Watch as the cats hang out with each other, get silly and wild, and of course take cat naps.

4. Future of Screen Technology

If you think you already have too many video screens in your house, office, and in your hand you haven’t seen anything yet. Check out what could be the future of screens within our lives. This is both remarkable and scary at the same time.

5. 2 Guys 600 Pillows

This video is all backwards which is a pretty interesting concept, and fun to watch. If you are sleepy right now you may want to avoid watching this video as you may search out your own comfy pillow and need a nap. Office workers you’ve been warned!

As the incredible summer of 2010 nears its end, many of you wonderful people reading this may have missed some remarkable online videos in August. We have done our best to entertain and amaze you with five videos sure to make your summer a little bit cooler. If you missed July’s viral videos, be sure to check them out too.

1. The YouTube Movie

Next month “The Social Network” movie based on Facebook’s massive success, will hit theaters across the world. There have been a few good “mocumentaries” created since, including YouTube’s as featured below, and Twitter’s which can be seen here.

2. The Heineken Tube

Who doesn’t love kicking back in the hot summer with a nice cold beer?! Heineken captured this experience exceptionally well with their beer travelling through a house in a special tube to deliver the beverage. Fun warning: watching this video may make you crave a beer and BBQ, so don’t be afraid to give into your temptations!

3. Roger Federer’s Trick Shot

With the US Open in full swing in New York, tennis superstar Roger Federer did a couple trick shots that you won’t see on the court. This video now has over 6 million views in just over two weeks, incredible!

4. The Upside Down Artist

Have you ever been walking down the street, saw some sort of remarkable act happening and just had to stop and watch? More specifically, have you ever seen an artist draw detailed symmetrical pictures upside down? Didn’t think so, watch the video below to bring out your creativity.

5. Slinky Cat

Cats can be so silly sometimes, and viewers really love seeing funny cat videos, so we had to share one here today. This video only has about 31,000 views to date so it’s not a true viral hit just yet, but like Double Rainbow’s slow start, this one could pick up steam eventually.
