And now we dance

When Matt Harding sets up his video camera and asks strangers to dance with him, there’s no music. No tempo, no beat. Just his signature jig, a few faint finger snaps, and the sounds in your own head. It makes for a hysterical experience and a wonderfully infectious scene on video.

I know this first hand because Matt came by to dance here at Yahoo!. If you’ve never heard of Matt, go check out wherethehellismatt.com. He traveled to 42 countries in 14 months to make his most recent video, “Dancing 2008,” which has been viewed more than 8.5 million times since he posted it in June. His scenery included a tulip field in the Netherlands, the DMZ in Korea, the “Painted Ladies” in San Francisco, children in Yemen, Bollywood-style dancers in India, bushmen in New Guinea, and free spirits in Paris.

I emailed Matt on a lark, with an invitation to come do a video with Yahoos in Sunnyvale. What you see here is the effect of one incredibly willing Internet phenomenon, as I dragged him hither and yon across our campus to shoot 33 scenes in less than seven hours. This video closed a recent company all-hands meeting — webcast to 14,000 employees worldwide — as a reminder that, in spite of the extraordinary events of last seven months, this is still one helluva great company.

You can download the song “Praan” (Bengali for “life”) at Amazon. It was composed by Garry Schyman and that incredible voice belongs to 17-year-old Palbasha Siddique of Minneapolis.

Thanks for the dance, Matt.

Nissa | August 4th, 2008 at 2:52 pm

Nicki, this is awesome and hilarious! Reminds me of what I loved about being a Yahoo. Great work!!

Pran | August 4th, 2008 at 2:54 pm

Cute and appropriate! You haven’t lost your sense of humor despite the difficult months.

Glad to see you are still an independent company. Congrats and wish you guys all the luck.

Btw, your song and I share the same name! :-)

sdchargers13 | August 4th, 2008 at 4:46 pm

I’ve plodded along since first learning how to navigate the Internet – and in particular, Yahoo! I’ve been frustrated, angry, confused, and stupified…sometimes tempted to give up and move on. Today I came across this video and after watching it I was left with a different, friendlier view of what all goes into the creation, development, and application of Yahoo! services and features. Very cool everybody!Thank you for the peek inside your vast and complex world!!

Paul | August 4th, 2008 at 5:14 pm

Fantastic – I saw his video in You tube – keep dancing there matey….LOL.

Kevin Moss (aka "Flex") | August 4th, 2008 at 5:34 pm

This was a great and energetic video. I agree if we don’t take time out to laugh and have fun from time to time the stress of life will eat at us like a cancer. Thanks for sharing the video with the Yahoo community. Continue to do what you guys do best. Take care and have a great day.

Jacquie | August 4th, 2008 at 5:36 pm

YAHOO rocks!
Thanks for letting us see that you all are HUMAN….maybe too human at times…but atleast fun-lovin-humans!

Thanks for all that ALL of you do!
Now if I could just get one of you to help me make my store website so I could leave the place I am at!

God bless!
Jacquie in OK

Suzanne | August 4th, 2008 at 5:38 pm

That’s really cool, guys! As a fellow corporate blogger, Kudos to you for pulling off what may have been quite a logistical nightmare.

Plus, I’m a fan of Matt’s work – http://tinyurl.com/58lywv

Great video. Reminds me how in ‘zync’ we can be with each other and how one person can bring a smile to so many people! As much as even great jobs can be stressful, you took a chunk of that away!

What a wonderful person you are Matt.

Margie | August 6th, 2008 at 6:40 am

Love to yahoo! Best around! Go for it, Matt!

Margie | August 6th, 2008 at 6:42 am

since i have joined. thankyou for your service.

ken | August 6th, 2008 at 9:05 am

Great! How terrific it is to work for a company with a sense of humor.

Paulo Eduardo | August 6th, 2008 at 10:18 am

Hey guys, any chance for a job? Good Portuguese, good English, excellent communication skills, I love Yahoo!, from you I have been able to get the best email ever, and the best of all: good dancer! I love you all, well..the girls have my preference!

katy | August 6th, 2008 at 11:35 am

Dr Indira Sahajwalla MD,DCH | August 6th, 2008 at 12:08 pm

Basic of Health presevation:clean Air,Sun shine,potable
water,A well balanced diet,Rest,Exercise,Elixer of Happiness,And Prayer to Almighty.Our Immune System has to be kept active.No Alcohol in any form,will help to keep us healthy

toughtimes at Yahoo | August 6th, 2008 at 4:06 pm

Of course, the video didnt even load. Yahoo! is done

jenkins | August 6th, 2008 at 4:23 pm

Why in the world does this translate into Yahoo being a great company? I think yahoo used to be a great company. It’s in a different place now. Sorry.

paisley | August 6th, 2008 at 4:24 pm

that rocks!

Jerry Yang Rocks!
NEVER LET THE CHIEF YAHOO! LEAVE AGAIN!!

p.s. carl icahn sucks!

(Yahoo! it…)

Jerry… this is paisley (cool sites) from IRC, go buy ask for search stuff, then twitter and digg.

Andrew Baron | August 6th, 2008 at 5:34 pm

I liked this a lot and think it will be effective in helping to inspire the people who work at Yahoo

Chad Nuttall | August 6th, 2008 at 5:43 pm

I love the dude in the Toronto Leaf’s jersey!

jonathan matkowsky | August 6th, 2008 at 7:26 pm

Thanks, Matt! I’ll never forget what it’s like to jiggy on the green. The video at the all-hands was a manifestation of what we are all feeling as fellow yahoos. And Nicki, you rock!

Rich | August 6th, 2008 at 7:33 pm

Well done indeed. Yet another reason I am still rooting for Yahoo!

The Purple Cow | August 6th, 2008 at 8:19 pm

Ya-moooooooooooooo!

gregorylent | August 6th, 2008 at 8:39 pm

hope you paid him a lot, it dilutes his brand

the corporate touch sucks the life out of anything it touches

too bad you didn’t do something original

Pika | August 6th, 2008 at 8:47 pm

Wooo

That was so awesome. xD

Leona Guthrie | August 6th, 2008 at 10:20 pm

Matt apparently has found a really awesome job. cool.

Stephanie Quilao | August 6th, 2008 at 10:53 pm

BRILLIANT idea bringing dancing Matt to the Yahoo campus! This was a great reminder of the “people” side of Yahoo, those who still come to work every day and continue to do their jobs and try to keep positive despite all the drama going on around them. Yeah things are far from ideal, but there are still good things too. To see Sue and Jerry was impressive, and wow! you actually let us see Filo’s heinous messy cube. Real. Makes me like Yahoo more.

tsholofelo | August 7th, 2008 at 4:07 am

rock on dudes

andres | August 7th, 2008 at 4:58 am

Matt is so 1999,
Like Jerry
Like Yahoo

Good luck with the dance lessons and get some math ones.

James | August 7th, 2008 at 4:58 am

Haha, awesome. Definetively, everything is morale. You guys need to do this more often, and boost your self-esteem. Show the world you deserve better than be acquired!!

sara | August 7th, 2008 at 6:43 am

good luck…@};-

Dan Guy | August 7th, 2008 at 7:02 am

I love Matt dancing, but… this video is just depressing. Everyone looks so desperate to appear like they’re having fun.

bek | August 7th, 2008 at 7:36 am

I want to work your company. Your company is very great.

zuree | August 7th, 2008 at 10:33 am

Valerie | August 7th, 2008 at 2:34 pm

Nice, love Matt… Now can you all get back to work because your Messenger is not working well for the past few days.

We are being disconnected contantly, hearing its a new boot exploit, or getting a message from the Messenger Chat saying we cannot send or rec. messages, until we use the cacpcha, which we already did….

Love Yahoo… so, please… dance after you fix it Again.

Thanks.

Nox Nolasco | August 7th, 2008 at 5:36 pm

Daniel Lubetzky | August 8th, 2008 at 3:13 am

Fantastic idea! So full of energy. And such a smart way to refocus both internally and externally on the historical greatness and wonder of the Yahoo brand. Well done and kudos to a good group of people that deserve recognition and support.

This is on behalf of myself AND of the OneVoice Movement that Yahoo was instrumental in helping last year, particularly when we ourselves had a challenging moment. We came out of it FAR STRONGER. As will Yahoo.

Tom Sands | August 8th, 2008 at 8:59 am

Wonderful. This made my day. I loved the way that Susan Decker kicked in a little something after looking a little shy and the mild and fun zing in front of the Google sign was priceless. I wish the best for all of you who work at Yahoo.

Mary Ethel | August 8th, 2008 at 9:06 am

I have to say,this was fun. I can’t even begin to imagine this at my work. Glad that you have something to celebrate. What fun! Congratualtions.

Jane Wanderer | August 8th, 2008 at 12:29 pm

Now I wonder, which of you is responsible for Launch Curl Error 28, or taking that predictable coffee break when I’m on Yahoo Answers??

Riding out flubbled Fay here in Jacksonville, what a lot of rain.

I loved this, I laughed and smiled all through the video, it was great!!
I wish our company could do something this light and happy, because I for one am a generally happy and carefree type person, I would be on the front line dancing with Him!

do you ever wonder why yahoo will never be on top again? why will yahoo always be trailing google? because google is the #1 best place to work, i mean seriously, who wouldn’t want to work at google? the only reason you people are at yahoo is because google rejected you. look at google’s stock, then look at yahoo’s. The reason why google will always beat yahoo is because google has more talented people, the best students from the best schools will always goto Google, why would they choose Yahoo over google? only because google rejected them.. Aka yahoo is going to become filled with the google-rejects, which is why yahoo will never be able to beat google. Google has the best. Yahoo just has 2nd-rate people, they will always be #2 or #3 if microsoft comes along, they already owned Yahoo msger. Can you give me one good reason why anyone would choose Yahoo over Google? No? well now you know why Yahoo will never beat Google. yahoo is a sinking ship. jump off while you can.

Walter | October 24th, 2008 at 6:09 pm

Watching this video brings tears to my eyes. It heightens my awareness of what makes Yahoo! special. Comparing it to the Steve Ballmer “Monkey Dance” video gives me a better understanding of the monumental struggle that you are having of good against evil. Godspeed!

muudi | November 9th, 2008 at 9:21 am

yahoo.com is the best transmiter to exchange the dialagues.meeting together and much more as can be expected

jess123 | November 29th, 2008 at 1:23 pm

Love it! I saw this great video on SF Iam where the reporter goes to Seattle to try and track down Internet and You Tube sensation Matt Harding of Where the Hell is Matt.com? Fame:

http://www.sanfranciscoiam.com/videos/cb1dfa714335

Find out the origins of Matt Harding’s fancy dance that has become a global InterWeb craze. Man, this guy has been fancy dancing all around the world for 3 years now, spreading happiness!

Also, SF Iam has a lot of other great videos you should check out.

As a computer science student I always dreamed of joining Microsoft or Google but this video just made me feel that YAHOO is a great company too.
Excellent concept and video.
I really hope that YAHOO shines and see itself through these hard times.
AMEN

maggie mize | February 20th, 2009 at 4:29 pm

I’ve been looking at all your funny sites here and they really rock. I couldn’t find the hoodwinked site though. You know the one, showing the party guys having a laugh at all the att dsl users who got their pictures moved from yahoo pictures to flickr. But don’t worry they said cause it’s still going to be free! Yeah, until it’s not anymore.

You guys got a lot of balls alright.

Rhoda | February 26th, 2009 at 12:33 pm

It’s great to see there are people behind my all-time favorite Yahoo! that knows how to have fun and wear big smiles too :) yahooo-woo!

Jacques Snyman | Website Design | April 20th, 2009 at 1:35 am

Hey guys! This really rates as one of the most uplifting company PR type clips I’ve viewed for a while. As long as Yahoo can hold on to this kind of energy they definitely got my attention too! Good show folks!

ypi | June 2nd, 2009 at 7:41 am
