Save Me from Embarassment?
Dear readers, I don’t ask much from you. Free blog, no advertising. But I need your vote for the Valleywag “hot boys” contest. I’m getting my ass kicked. Not that that there’s anything wrong with losing one of these. It happened to Micki Krimmel. My ego just can’t handle losing by a landslide. That would…
10 Tips for a “Viral Video” Hail Mary
Alright, the “Cheat sheet for marketers interested in online video” didn’t get a lot of views. And frankly I get more people consuming my content in an hour than read this damned blog in a day. So to hell with you. Here’s what you should do to get viral, stupid marketers and agencies. Spend an…
Video View Count: Short Shelf Life vs. Long Tail
TubeMogul reports on the short shelf life of online videos (courtesy of ReelPopBlog). While it’s true that 25% of video’s views tend to occur within the first 4 days, this is a bit missleading. First, TubeMogul focused on videos exceeding 1,000 views and the website is used more by serious content creators looking for broad distribution. Second,…
When Ads Blend With Medium: Student Advertising Ideas
This Advertnews.com post has a series of student-created ads that showcase creative advertising ideas that blend into their environment. A PSP2-shaped tennis court. A shopping-cart belt that shows Expedia and illustrations of luggage. A Toblerone bike rack. The form and function become the ad, or vice versa.
I’m Going to Blog World San Fran Because… Chris Brogan Said I Am.
So a week or so ago I sent Chris Brogan a note. Asked him if he could get me a free pass to Blog World San Fran Los Vegas (thanks CB and SG), and offered to fill a last-minute speaking slot, be on a panel, or hand out drinks. I can’t let Steve Garfield get…
Non US Viewers Aren’t as Valuable: Metacafe Won’t Pay for exUS Views
Many big online-video deals are US focused, and want to exclude paying for exUS markets. I understand this, as my marketing job is US only. I represent the US on a “global marketing team” but I don’t have control on exUS spend, nor does it impact my bonus significantly. Metacafe, a site born is Israel…

You’re right, Kevin. You should just create an e-mail list for the regulars. Then you could curse more and not have to worry about your mama finding you on Google searches.
Google searchs? Mom can see what I wrote on GOOGLE SEARCHS?? Nahhh Pfffff! Oh (beep).
*gives cookie*
I use Swamii it only searches the latest items and keeps a list of your interests, but you have to log into it.
Don’t worry Kevin. I curse enough for both of us.
I was gonna say “for the both of us” but then I felt the spelling nazi coming up behind me, ready to transform herself into the grammar nazi.
Don’t be a poopy head. Where do you think those 10,000 video views come from? Santy Claus?
I love this blog, its the only one on my rss, keep it up, we are reading!
Start charging a subscription rate for it. That’ll separate the wheat from the chaff.
well it reaches me here in Australia.
And I take what you say as gospel, St Nalts
so pull ya friggin head in!!
Oh thanks. I promise I wasn’t looking for pity here. I was just venting. My back hurts.
Nalts, at least people actually READ your blog. I have no idea why I started one, and why I continue to do one. Ten posts, and only 341 views to all of them combined! WHY DO I TRY SO HARD!?!??!
I don’t know how to read.
I read it everyday! You are brilliant and i enjoy learning from you.
keep it up Nalts, or just do what you want.. I’ll appreciate whatever you do or I’ll just ignore it.
PEACE!

You know we love you, Nalts. What would all your regulars do if you didn’t have this blog? We’d have to go back to our real lives, which aren’t nearly interesting enough.
I live vicariously through your brain.
You put so much time into this blog because you’ve been putting less time into new videos. And that’s probably a good thing. Since this message is 4 days old, I’m pretty sure you’ll never read it. Happy First of July.
It’s a holiday in Canada, Dahlia (Canada Day).
Hey, MDJ, how ah ya. I had an MRI today, and with any luck I’ll be seen at Mayo Clinic by the end of the month. CHEESE!
Did they inject the shrimp juice into you?
DahliaK: I had an MRI last week – they didn’t find anything.
This blog has been a reference point for me since I started producing online videos almost 2 years ago, It has been invaluable to me and I thank and honor you,
