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.
There I was. Frustrated this morning after forgetting how I converted some of my old Windows Movie files (from the 1990s) into to something I could edit in Mac iMovie and post to YouTube. I’m running through various options, experimenting with various free software, and running into brick walls. Hours pass. Then I had this…
You don’t have to like BP or its Deepwater Horizon handling to be impressed with the way it’s using YouTube. Let me demonstrate. If you search YouTube for “BP parody” you see the following image. Below the ads for BP’s YouTube channel and Old Spice (in yellow), the first user-generated video is a hysterical UCBComedy…
Saddleback leather founder Dave Munson is using YouTube to teach counterfeiters how to knock off his bags. The video is instructional, persuasive, sarcastic and funny. By showing how counterfeiters do and can save money (using lower quality leather, cheap stitching, inferior metal buckles), Saddleback manages to fortify its own high price point. The clip also…
Dear creator. Let me lift you out of your funk. The views of your recent videos have been down. You’re asking yourself, “am I past my prime? what happened to my subscriber base?” I have good news and bad news. For those that eat their desert before dinner, let’s start with the good news. Your…
It started when Carri Bugbee started tweeting as PeggyOlson, a character from “Mad Men.” Now it’s spawned a startup called bigdealpr.

Oh man, speaking of that, does anybody remember the old Willvideoforfood logo?
You must be bored.
@1 Ha, what was it? The solo video camera of some sorts pointing at you?
It’s ever changing, I can’t keep up with it now adays. Pink, green, cheese…although I must admit the Nalts/Katie picture is the cutest thing ever! :o)
If you go back in time far enough, some of my videos are actually worth watching!
The Wayback Machine is fun.
@3: I liked the green best, the pink least.
I didn’t know google existed until… I think 2003. Youtube I didn’t use until early 2006. I didn’t upload until early 2008.
yeah, of course I fail.

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
Very amusing. I never saw the round/blue YouTube.
WTF!!! My google reader has been broken!!!
