Ever surf The Wayback Machine (http://web.archive.org) to see what your favorite websites looked like back in their early days?
Here’s an early version of YouTube…
Even better… an early shot of Google. Ah, memories.
We count down the best and worst of 2009 Superbowl ads even before the Superbowl is finished airing…
So you got lucky and had a video go “viral.” Now what do you do? YouTube is now giving “one-hit wonders” a chance to become a YouTube Partner, where they’re eligible to earn a percent of advertising revenue from their videos. This may, of course, be frustrating to those who have applied for the Partnership…
I recently added an RSS for this new blog: FredGraver.com. Who’s Fred Graver? Well you should be embarassed you had to ask, but here’s his Wikipedia bio (and I won’t tell him you had to “refresh” yourself on his history). Fred works in big media, but he’s not afraid of the online video space. His…
Yesterday I was the #52nd most subscribed director on YouTube, but today I’m the #5th most subscribed comedian. How’d I do it? Read that carefully.

Oh man, speaking of that, does anybody remember the old Willvideoforfood logo?
You must be bored.

The Wayback Machine is fun.
@3: I liked the green best, the pink least.

yeah, of course I fail.
@1
I remember one of the early WVFF banners was a picture of Nalts holding a bum’s “Will video For Food” cardboard sign on the left with a picture of a boxy video camera on the right. It was kind of dark and colorless. I like the moving cheese one better.
I got nothing to say, but hi and [click] my blog unless you hate America

WTF!!! My google reader has been broken!!!
