$10,000 Peer 1 "Growing Pains" Part 2 Contest

The folks at Peer 1 are at it again and as noted earlier this week in theWHIR News they have added a $10,000 contest to make things even more interesting.

Episode 2 of the "Growing Pains" video series is also humorous although not as funny as the first episode I must say. What I would have loved to see is a quick recap of the first episode at the beginning to refresh my memory.

To win the $10,000 grand prize which consists of 12 months of managed hosting at PEER 1 ($6,500 value), an Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch 2.5 GHz Laptop (approximate value $2,500) and a Sony HD Camcorder HDRSR10 (approximate value $1,000) you would need to upload your short video and share your web hosting growing pains, funny dealings in running your online business or troubles in getting it off the ground. If you video is selected you could be a winner.

I have noticed that folks in the Web hosting industry tend to be a little shy so I do hope to see some interesting and laugh out loud funny video entries. Good Luck to one and all and let us know if you submit a video, theWHIR readers would love to give you a preliminary review.

What do you think of this "Growing Pains" episode?

Web hosting videos get more Entertaining

I recently stumbled upon a hilarious little video made by the folks at PEER 1. They have produced a short film, viral video, advertisement - whatever you want to call it. They have aptly named the film "Daddy's Little Girl" and it apparently is the first episode in the "Growing Pains" series. Check it out below.

I am excited to see a Web hosting provider get creative with video and use it to their advantage, if even to amuse and hopefully assist in brand recall. We are so used to the traditional data center video tour, this is a good break from the ordinary.

A job well done folks. I hope the video goes far and you get what you wanted out of it because it certainly does not look like a cheap production. I look forward to the others.

Have you noticed any cool Web hosting videos around?
