I’ll be moderating a panel for Streaming Media East tomorrow (Tuesday, May 20) at the NYC Hilton. The topic is “Creating and Promoting Amateur and Viral Videos” (A103) 1:45 PM – 2:30 PM The session explores what makes a video viral and how marketers and amateurs can promote their video using online video sites and…
I like to give my blog readers an early scoop on things, like I did Wednesday with Google Coop. Here's a press release that goes out tomorrow (Saturday, May 13) from CubeBreak.com (a video site I manage instead of sleeping).. It identifies the most boring cities in the world.
