I’m working on a post that summarizes some of the recent statistics related to online video, and I’m hoping YouTube will share some recent stats. I’m also hoping I can post some of the data I source via Hitwise in my day job (with permission). In the meantime, I found this Profy post titled “ComScore…
I feel like I need to shed light on a recent controversy regarding my use of promotional videos. Feel free to comment and Digg this post if you like. The vast majority who watch my videos are receptive to an occasional promotional video. Take my recent “Poor Man’s GPS” video I did for GPSManiac as…
Every few days someone asks me what video camera to buy. Unless I happen to be “in the market” I don’t track closely. But I do trust Consumer Reports, and just received an issue ranking the top camcorders. Note: My guide to buying a video camera can be found here. What Format: Mini DV, DVD,…
The folks behind Xlntads.com (the contest site that connects brands and video creators) were good enough to let me hijack their studio for my fake election videos (“Embarassing TV Appearance” and “Embarassing TV Appearance part 2“). Famed YouTuber, Renetto, makes a cameo in these. So the least I could do was talk about Xlntads for…

Here’s the video, titled “Poor Man’s GPS.” It’s currently the third highest rated Comedy video of the day on YouTube, which is the highest rating I’ve yet received for a sponsored video….
Funny Or Die, the website made famous by Will Ferrell’s “Landlord,” is now hosting a few of my favorite Nalts videos. Monday, Sept. 17 Update. Thank you YouTube subscribers for responding to this video and rating up my videos. Six of my appear as “hot” on the homepage! Now about that collaboration video with Will…
Just as sure as you can count on viral videos, you can count on viral-video mosh ups (well-stitched edits of famously viral clips). If you’ve met the “Angry German Kid” and you’ve been exposed to your fair share of Chris Crocker (the YouTube self-proclaimed “queen of the ghetto”) then you’ll appreciate this vulgar clip… …titled…
This is a great parody of the fact that Apple has released iTunes software that includes iPhone ringtones… even in Canada where you can’t buy an iPhone even if you wanted. The video is one of the “funniest of the day” on YouTube, but perhaps this comment posted by is even funnier: If (User.Country ==…
