ByNalts

Courtesy of the ReelPopBlog.com, here’s a Business Week article about Google’s efforts to keep networks and programmers from suing YouTube/Google. Here’s the funny thing. It’s the end of…

Should You Buy an AppleTV? Only if You’re an iTunes and YouTube Junkie

ByNalts

I’ve had an AppleTV for a while, and I was amused by New Media Minute‘s video report that is almost entirely positive on the AppleTV except for some criticism of the the manual search process (source: webvideoreport). Don’t get me wrong. I really enjoy my AppleTV (Amazon carries the 40GB for $224, 160GB for $324……

Creating The Frankenstein of Online Video Sites

ByNalts

Did you ever play the game in college where you tried to imagine the perfect woman, and you’d combine parts from various people you knew? Kinda like building the Frankenstein of women?

The Internet’s New “Viral Video Villain”

ByNalts

I’ve been called everything from a sellout to Satan (this video is the best hater video I’ve ever seen, and features me with a sign “Will Video for Souls” as I transform into Lucifer). So it gives me some relief to know that the online-video community has found a new Osama. His name is Dan…

  1. all I have to say is THANK GOD that Chris Crocker lost to Michael Buckley.

    I would have won the best catchphrase category, if there was one…

  2. Reubnick: I agree. I was afraid Chris Crocker would win. What the Buck is a good show and Chris Crocker is just a ham.

  3. What did Charlie say when he couldn’t get the computer to work awhile back? “Suped peter!” That’s what I’ve got to say about the YT awards.

    Chawklit Rain!!!! <—- I actually like that! The commercial wasn’t bad either with the squirrel cameo.

  6. Your problem is that they don’t have a “best youtube drama” category. You would win that hands down.

  9. the whole setup sounded like mob rule to me.

    I like MB and he’s a nice guy so I voted for him, but the ep they picked wasn’t really his best, and what is the criteria to be nominated anyway? who picked the candidates in the first place and based on what? I didn’t watch any of the others, well, except crocker

    I suppose it’s a nice feeling for the winners, and that’s ok, and the votes certainly get you a little attention and probably more viewers, but what are the guidelines to get nominated in the first place?

    the whole process just seemed so grammar schooloolish to me.

    The thing I dislike about You Tube most is they treat and think the users and the viewing public are stupid.

    wait a minute… I voted. nevermind

  11. I wondered about that, surly there has to be more to it than Seth and Trisha’s favorite videos on the Employee’s wall at the Blockbusters
