Last I checked this blog was the #1 ranked for the terms “tigger punch” on Google. I’m so proud of that I decided to take a moment from our vacation to shoot this quick video of my kids… afraid of going to Disney because they might run into Tigger.
This is Zack Scott’s latest. He’ll probably make a few grand from this on Metacafe.
Revver’s recent change raises questions about the sustainability of amateur-created content, and whether Hollywood should be “dictating business models.” In a recent CNET article titled “YouTube Rivals Look for Answers,” Greg Sandoval reported that Revver co-founder Oliver Luckett and Revver’s Chief Technology Officer Rob Maigret have left Revver and are working together on a video project. The article…
The good folks at Mentos were kind enough to sponsor my “Smuggling Mentos Into Movie Theater” video (see it on Revver here). Mentos provided modest funds to offset my time and production costs, and more importantly provided me with a big ol’ shipment of Mentos. I’m eating them at 9:35 a.m. as I type. They…
My sister sent me this elevator photo this morning and titled the e-mail “Nerds.” It’s the crowd going to Macworld. She works for “big media” and they’re interviewing Jobs today.

They’re clearly running online video stories to see if they can steal from the rapidly growing readership of “Will Video for Food.” I may not be as classy, accurate, easy-to-read or comprehensive.

You may like the popularity of YouTube and the money from Revver, blip.tv and Metacafe. But you can’t afford to miss sites like AOL Uncut, Yahoo or Google Video since they do deliver volume.

I don’t track technology stocks well, and I certainly don’t understand the nuances of video compression. But my friend Jim Walker (www.mindpalace.com) is the one that told me to buy Cisco stock in 1996. I didn’t. Now he’s hot on ON2. Here’s a recent press release the company issued. According to the release, ON2 is…
