This Video is Fake January 31, 2007

Here’s one man’s depiction of typical reactions to online videos (note- explicit language included).

He spoofs the many moronic comments that videos attract. His parody is around some of the themes of Metacafe’s comment audience, but many of these are universal truths to video comments:

That’s boring
That’s fake
You suck

Sneaking Into HappySlip’s Apartment January 31, 2007

Posted by Nalts in : Killer Video, Making Videos, Revver, Viral Video, YouTube , 9comments

Today I went to New York City and convinced a gullible doorman that I was HappySlip’s brother. I did get busted, but not before I was able to get some footage of her place, steal a stapler and sing a piece of her Mac Beautiful on her keyboard. Here’s her version of Mac Beautiful, but I quite like my singing better. Jobs has already reached out to me.

Sure you can call it creepy. But I’m just one of her nearly 20K subscribers on YouTube. That’s all. YOU’RE the one who watches her videos non stop.

P.S. Click here to see the video on Revver. Trivia for you. HappySlip started on Revver before YouTube.

This video on Break takes a while to develop, but we see a Memphis audience member on stage who can’t control his wacky laugh. The audience is in stitches. Funniest Laugh Ever.

YouTube Videos that Got Most Video Replies January 28, 2007

Posted by Nalts in : YouTube , 9comments

YouTube’s blog recently announced some new features, including the ability to leverage Google search to find YouTube videos. They also posted a page that shows what videos received the most video replies ever. I was pleased to see that my Bore Me (which has 126 responses) ranks in the top 20.

There are a lot of folks out there that like to bore. Someone should do a psychological study on this.

Predictions About YouTube’s Paying Creators January 28, 2007

Posted by Nalts in : YouTube, advertising , 9comments

It’s funny watching videos and reading comments about the revenue-sharing YouTube is planning to launch. As this video demonstrates, it’s making people giddy. Most assume it would be on a per-video basis. Many fear it will be selective. And a few think it’s going to corrupt the system because people will be getting secret payouts.

Having no inside information, let me rollout some specifics that I would anticipate:

You’ll get a tiny fraction of a penny per view. Maybe a few bucks per thousand views you get. It will not matter how many videos you have. Just how many are viewed.
It won’t be retroactive. When it starts, you’ll start earning based on views from that date forward.
Currently YouTube’s vulnerability is the FireFox reload issue (you can manipulate views). This means they need more tools in place to limit exposure. This means, perhaps, that only views by registered people will count.
There seems to be a lot of concern that some would qualify and some wouldn’t. I would anticipate that YouTube would allow anyone to participate (unlike Google Video’s selective policy), but they need a way to ensure that people aren’t earning ad revenue from copyrighted material. This means there needs to be a manual screening involved and YouTube doesn’t have the people for that. So I’m guessing they’ll start with some know content providers that aren’t jamming YouTube with clips from The Daily Show.
Timing? Sorry folks but this will take a while. I’m guessing late second quarter or third quarter.
No you won’t get paid to view videos.

Top 7 Theories: Why YouTube Decided to Pay Creators… Finally January 27, 2007

Posted by Nalts in : GooTube, Killer Video, Revver, Video Advertising, Video Business, YouTube, advertising , 15comments

Okay. I’ve been urging YouTube to share advertising revenue since before I started this blog a year ago. They finally decided to do so today.

This was one of WillVideoforFood’s top 10 predictions for 2007. Needless to say, we’re very excited (see our video reaction). But why now? Top 7 theories.

YouTube sensed the defection to LiveVideo, and is using ad sharing to hold on to creators (which will, in turn, keep viewers).
Major media companies are demanding it, and YouTube knows it would be risky to pay some creators and not all.
Chad Hurley, YouTube cofounder, had too much wine at the economic summit and decided to show he has a heart. Forgot to tell Google.
Revver was starting to overtake YouTube’s traffic. Kidding.
It’s the only way to ensure the site’s viability now that almost anyone can replicate community.
It’s the right thing to do. Current contributors are attracting eyeballs and creating advertising revenue. Take Judson Laipply (Evolution of Dance creator- as seen in image). He’s approaching 40 million views. Do you realize how much advertising revenue that represents for YouTube? Even a couple pennies a view would have made him a millionaire.
Google supported it — similar to the way they handle Adwords/Adsense.

Newsflash: YouTube to Share Advertising Revenue January 27, 2007

Posted by Nalts in : Making Videos, Online Video, Video Advertising, Video Business, advertising, popular videos , 18comments

According to the Associated Press via USAToday: YouTube co-founder Chad Hurley announced today that YouTube will start sharing revenue with its millions of users.

“We are getting an audience large enough where we have an opportunity to support creativity, to foster creativity through sharing revenue with our users,” Hurley said at the World Economic Forum. “So in the coming months we are going to be opening that up.”

Hurley, one of the youngest Internet multimillionaires, gave no details of how much users might receive, or what mechanism would be used.

It won’t be the first site to offer such a deal. In October 2005, Revver announced plans to attach advertising to user-submitted videos and give their creators a cut of the profits. Revver has said it would split the ad revenue evenly with content creators.
Hurley said that when YouTube started, he and the site’s other co-founders — Steve Chen and Jawed Karim — felt revenue-sharing would build a community of users motivated by making money, rather than their love of videos.
But that as the site has grown, they have come to see financial remuneration as a way of improving content.

Sneak Peaks at Superbowl Bud Ads January 27, 2007

Anheuser-Busch has released a collection of video “snippets” to feed the pre-game buzz. Check out the Budweiser YouTube channel to see more.

Here’s a nice compilation of some of the Superbowl ads. Interestingly, DDB gives itself credit in the reel.

I’m betting on the crabs as being a favorite, as well as the hitchhiker with an ax. Hard to tell if the others will payoff.

Some call the game. I call the ads.

Chou Chou the Rabbit Seeks Therapy January 27, 2007

Posted by Nalts in : Viral Video, popular videos , 1 comment so far

Blame it on Buns. Or Bravo. But Chou Chou (the loveable half of the Buns & Chou Chou duo featured on Rabbit Bites) is seeking therapy. Here breasts aren’t big enough. She’s not as sophisticated as Orange County, California is telling her she need be.

In this video she is hypnotized, and finds more accessible ways to satisfy and assert herself. Hats off to Nicholas of Rabbit Bites who brings his comedy to higher levels each time. We find the characters vacillating between vulnerability and sharp witt… taking us on a funny, cute and unpredictable ride.
