Dada.net's hottest new video features Miles, a 54-year-old father of two who learned the dance from Soulja Boy's “Crank That -- Tell 'Em” video and performed it himself!

The video has been viewed over 7,300 times on Dada and has been featured on other community sites. Dada's reporter, Dadanewsie, got an exclusive interview with Miles.

Dadanewsie: Hey, Soulja Dad! You move pretty great for a middle-aged man.

Soulja Dada: Well, I just get out on the dance floor like I'm 30 years younger and let loose. Why not? It's just a state-of-mind thing.

Dadanewsie: What lead you to make the video in the first place?

Soulja Dad: I did it for my son. He knew it would make people laugh, so he asked me to try it. I even bought the clothes. I never imagined it would get the reaction it's getting. The support has been incredible.

Dadanewsie: What a great dad! It must've taken you a long time to memorize the choreography. How many takes did you do?

Soulja Dad: It really didn't take that long to learn, but I did do several takes. It was definitely a workout!

Dadanewsie: Well, I think I speak for all Dada users when I say thanks for making us laugh! Keep dancing, Soulja Dad!

Now when you join Dada.net, your very first friend is Tyler and Jess friend$. It's our way of welcoming you to the site and more importantly, providing you with an easy way to ask for advice on the the friend$ program. Allow us to introduce you:

Q: Jess, welcome to Dada.net! What will you be doing?

Jess: Thanks! I'm so excited to join the Dada team! I will be helping others in the friend$ program increase their earning potential. And I'll encourage as many people as I can to join up and earn money while they express themselves on Dada.net! And Tyler helps me out a lot. He’s my BFF.

Tyler: "Best Friend Forever." Yeah, I'm like her big brother. I've got your back, kid. (Jess smiles.) Oh, and the best part about friend$ is it's completely free!

Q: Sweet! So how can users who are just starting out increase their earning potential?

Jess: Start small: Post to your blog, share a pic or upload a video. When others see your stuff and click to view it, those clicks equal cash. It adds up!

Q: Where can they write for help?

Tyler: They can write to tylerjessica@dada.net. We also want to hear suggetions for what to include in the newsletter. Plus, one of our staff members will soon have a blog where we post all the newsletters.

Jess: And the two of us are working on a blog called "Just Friends," which is both practical and philosophical.

Tyler: Yes. We also co-author the Dada friend$ blog. Check out the success stories!

Q: If you signed up for friend$ and your pig icon on your account is holding a coffee cup, what's that mean?

Jess: Pigs need caffeine, too! Nah, it means your account is pending. When Google approves your application, you'll get a "Congratulations" e-mail in your Dada.net inbox. Then your pig will turn into a regular piggy bank and it will say "Account."
Thanks, guys! We look forward to hearing more tips!

All Blogging Is Not the Same: So what distinguishes a good blog from a great one? On Dada.net, it's whether yours is earning you extra cash! With the Dada friend$ program, every time you create a new post, share a pic or upload an original video, you are also creating an opportunity to generate clicks ... and clicks = cash!
Think about it, you can make money by doing what you already do on Dada.net.

It's FREE, and fashionista girlfriday (whose woman-about-town blog and overall moxie yields her $100/week) just wouldn't have it any other way, dahlings!

Sign up today and laugh all the way to the piggy bank! Make friend$ and money on Dada.net:-)

So you’ve got a good deal of friends. And just how many of them work for you? Dada friend$ is an exciting new program that rewards you for keeping your personal space updated, and for spreading the word by inviting your friends to do the same. The best part is it’s free!

How it Works: Once enrolled, Google will pay you a percentage of the revenue generated from the total number of clicks on your sponsored links. To participate in friend$, you must have an AdSense account, either by requesting a new one or linking your current AdSense account to your Dada.net profile.

Reach Out: You may be one, but your reach on Dada.net is many. If you’ve got 20 friends in your friend$ network, then your chances of generating revenue from ad clicks is 20 times greater, because not only do you make money from the ads on your own pages, but also from the ads on the pages of your friend$ partners!

Ad-ding it Up: So you’ve got a cool blog. And you’ve got a loyal following. Well, that can mean extra money for you! Take Dada.net blogger and friend$ affiliate mariestar for example ― she’s got a hip celeb blog. Check it out. Now, notice the ads on her page. See how they’re for movie sites and celebrity merchandise on e-bay? When mariestar posts about soccer star David Beckham, an ad for Adidas appears on that page. AdSense is intuitive, meaning the ads are related to the content you blog about, which makes it even likelier for those viewing your pages to click on the ads.

Go Viral: Got a hot video you know will get a lot of play? Put it to work for you! Give it the friend$ treatment and post it on your pages. If it gets featured on the homepage, the resulting ad-click revenue will follow your ad wherever it may appear ― the more viral the video, the more places it’ll appear and the more money it’ll make for you!

So get to it ― make friend$ and money! Sign up today! Or click here for more info.

So get out there and create a personal space on Dada.net! Blog, post videos and pics, and join in all the fun Life and Love have to offer. Grab your green on Dada.net!

So you think you’re too busy to set up a personal space on Dada.net? Once you initiate yourself into the blogosphere, maintaining your network of friends, posting videos and pics are simple for hip, tech-savvy people like you and me. Or even if you’re not so savvy.

We Noticed! This Week's Featured Blog: Tenderoni has certainly been getting busy with her Bollywood blog. If the words bhangra and bindi are part of your everyday vocabulary, then the latest gossip, scandals, news and even celeb birthdays will fulfill all your Bombay Dreams in one convenient web space. Not the Bollywood aficionado? Surely you’re at least curious as to how one Bollywood actor survived a kick to the head by a camel. Oh, now you’re interested …

Blurb-Worthy Blogs: See how Zooky is getting busy with her knitting needles this winter, making progress on her Sidekick cozy. That’s right, the old-fashioned hobby has a whole new look.

Valentine’s Day is tomorrow, people! Need I spell out for you the other way we cupids can Get Busy? Whether it’s Sean Paul or the always mood-inducing Marvin Gaye, there are many ways to L-O-V-E, especially on Dada.net. If you’re more an express-yourself-visually kinda Valentine, and you find no need to be coy about it, say it straight up with a to-the-point wallpaper. Or this one. Now that’s what I’m talkin’ about …

So no more excuses. Get started and join in all the fun Life has to offer. Get down, get down, and get busy on Dada.net!

Just how personal is your space on Dada.net? With so many ways to express yourself, no two pages look exactly alike. Each user has a personal space, and the power lies in what you make of it. From videos to pics to building up your network of friends, it’s time you make your personal stamp in the blogosphere.

Or if you’re looking to invade someone else’s personal space, why not chat in one of our forums? Like this recipes forum … or choose a fun topic and create one of your own. Chat to your heart’s content, and whatever you do, don’t take anything too personally!

We Noticed! This Week's Featured Blog: Talk about personal space!

Blurb-Worthy Blogs: Have you had a chance to read Tenderoni’s Tyra tirade, or get started on Fitgurl’s Shape Up for Valentine’s Day Countdown? Well, at least tell me you understood Girlfriday’s delineation between being fired up about snowfall in New York City and being fired up about antsy snow shovelers? This is important information, people!

Well, Whaddya Know ...
What does the word “links” mean to you? On Dada.net, Links are another area of your personal space, where you can promote your friends’ blogs or even your own ― it's like free advertising!

Highlight the word or phrase you want as a link, then click the hyperlink icon (in the top nav of the 'Post' tab), plug in the URL and you'll be all set!

Try “Valentine” by Lloyd or that classic Stevie Wonder tune (you know the one). If games are more your speed, try our Love Predictor! Or why not upload a surprise “I Love You” wallpaper. Now, we’re not advocating you swiping your sweetie’s phone … but hey, you gotta do what you gotta do.

So get to it ― Start building your unique personal space, and make your mark. It’s time to get personal on Dada.net!

Are you snowed in, like much of the country? Well, it’s always beautiful in the blogosphere, where you can explore the most tropical of climates from the comfort of your PC or mobile phone. In fact, with Dada.net users sharing their stories from all over the world, you have no excuse not to!

Blurb-Worthy Blogs: Have you wondered what baby porcupines look like? Oh, and check out expert cake-maker kylakae’s latest challenge. And maybe you’re not the only one who thinks that some Brooklyn churches look more like storefronts. Good to know.

Your Life ... Expressed!
Are you taking advantage of Tags? If that word isn’t familiar to you, then read on. Every time you create a post, add a keyword ― or tag ― to make it searchable. Better still, add a few keywords at a time, separated by commas. This will help your fellow Dadaists find you, and it will leave a trail of word crumbs to Google users everywhere!

So go exploring! Create your own little corner of the blogosphere by starting with your personal space, and shake off those winter doldrums. Once you get started, you can check out our tips to maximize your around-the-world experience.

Many of us calorie-counters conduct weekly weigh-ins, but if you would rather watch others weigh in, why not check out the Dada.net forums?

Blurb-Worthy Blogs: The NFL Playoffs had many of us glued to the tube this weekend, so while we bide our time till the Super Bowl, enjoy the lighter side of football. Sports not your thing? It's also a good week for vintage videos featuring Betty Boop and Bollywood scandals!

Well, Whaddya Know ...
If you're not posting videos to your blog, what's the holdup? You did know you can do so from your mobile phone, right?

Your Life ... Expressed!
By now, you've likely set up your blog and you've made your first post. Or maybe you're well past that stage and have two or three blogs. Well, smarty pants, did you know that by adding your other blogs to your Links section, you can basically advertise your way to more readership? Just go to the 'Manage' page, then to 'Advanced Options,' then to 'Link.'

Speaking of self-expression, who says you have to learn to like the ring styles that came with your phone? Check out the newest additions to Dada's ringtone catalog. Search and find tones from Akon to Eminem, Rascal Flatts to The Beatles, Hendrix to Fall Out Boy. Besides, having your favorite artists let you know you're loved really breaks up the monotony of the day!
