Only “Moron” Will Buy YouTube, Which is “Going to Be Toasted”

ByNalts

Billionaire investor and dot-com legend Mark Cuban said only a “moron” would purchase YouTube, and that the online video site is “going to be toasted.” Read the article at YahooNews. Or Reuters. Obviously Cuban got the idea from my YouTube rant. During this clip that I’m still hawking in every other post, I urge YouTube…

ByNalts

Rhett and Link’s Alka Seltzer road show (see previous post) hit Philadelphia recently, and it didn’t take them asking more than once to convince me and a bunch of YouTube Cewebrities to hit Pat and Gino’s to appear in this video. I picked up CharlesTrippy, ShayCarl, TheMightyThor1212 and those gals to stop by before the YoTube events….

Kidnapped by YouTube

ByNalts

I’m going to have difficulty keeping up with the blog posts this week because I’m “on the lamb.” As some of you might have seen, YouTube founders Steven Chen and Chad Hurley kidnapped me in their basement. I was able to escape. Now I’ve warned my wife, and I’m going to keep away from my…

Best YouTube Song Parodies

ByNalts

I just discovered this OneProduktionFilms playlist of YouTube song parodies (ones created mostly by YouTubers — not repurposed television song parodies). Below are videos of my two favorites Jon Lajoie (who I want to be when I grow up) in “High as F*ck.” And the classic “YouTube is My Life” by Church of Blow. Like…

Is Yahoo TV Closing or Widening Chasm Between Online Video & Television?

ByNalts

Which online-video site is mostly likely to be part of the bridge between television and the Internet? You can fault the model, and question it’s sustainability. But Yahoo TV is well poised to leverage its partnerships with Verizon and TiVo to start serving its bite-sized video content via television sets equipped with broadband boxes. Take,…

  5. hey, that’s the same blazer and shirt as the happyslip video… did you go to new york from PA to record for Fox Friends Philadelphia?

  7. I’m not trying to start a whole Fox News is biased debate, but I’m used to news shows where reporters and anchormen do not give their own personal opinion during news and interviews. It was kind of weird for them to start off the report/interview saying that they think it’s bad for YouTube to be sharing in ad revenue.

    Also, how were you not nervous?

  8. Yes, he’s right. Just before bringing you on telling us that they think people shouldn’t get paid for their videos then introducing you, it was a bit out of order.

    It would of been ace if you had said, “before we start I think newsreaders shouldn’t get paid for reading the news…”

    Haheeeey.

  12. What’s up with the female reporter saying “i don’t think they should get paid”! ha… how about you do your reporting for free, bit**! lol… anyway, congrats on the news bit!

    I think the only time Nalts is nervous is when he’s *not* in front of a camera!

  15. Nalts looks like a fat, young John Lithgow.

    Woodblock you’re right. That’s why I’m never without a camera.

    Mark- feel free to keep the abuse here.

    Trip/marquis- my favorite part of the day is reading your posts.

    Oh- and PC. YES I shot them both in the same day- morning in Philly and afternoon and evening in NYC. In fact, I’m terrified because there were some lunatics making a video on Times Square and I got on camera. They were women wearing rockets between their legs and protesting the war.

  21. Cool nalts =) gane check the most of your content on youtube tomorrow at work.. should keep me busy for a while 😀
    Best of luck

  23. We all have been betrayed since 1950. Now its “payback time” Trust me on this one. As a country, we are running out of gas. Yes, maybe just fumes. Who’s fault is this? Answer: Washington D.C.
