So the NextUp YouTube winners are in NYC right now… receiving loads of love from Google/YouTube. It made me happy seeing the next generation of amateurs… and to see that Google/YouTube still encourages them even while commercial content is on the rise on the world’s second-largest search engine. I was invited to speak to the…
In its ultimate technical glitch, YouTube accidentally featured my “Viral Video Genius.” As we know, a YouTube feature makes or breaks a career.
