Perhaps Daily Idea should find a popular video, for example, of a guy injuring himself while raking the lawn, then reply to that with a Daily Idea on how to rake your lawn. Seen the video of Miss South Carolina babbling about South African school kids? Reply to that video with a Daily Idea on learning geography or travelling to South Africa.

In order to be big everywhere, it has to be big somewhere. There are lots of similar trends in other arenas. For an idea to take root, it has to be a dominant idea among a well-connected group of people in order to give it the exposure in competition with all the other noise. Increasingly, you see the majority of digg top videos coming from non-youtube sites. Long tail economics damaging to the big boys? Absolutely. Yeah, people forget the “bubbling up” process.
