Plunging Deeper Into Online Video? Or Do the Day Job?
Speaking of the perpetual conflict between climbing the splintered ladder as a full-time salaried marketer versus plunging deep into the cool ocean of online video… here’s a note from a (successful) friend who suggests consulting full-time with brands in the online-video space. It’s one of those notes you don’t get every day. I think this is…
Wall Street Journal Tries to Squash Hungry Blogger
Woah. This Wall Street Journal (a print newspaper based in New York City) is coming dangerously close to my “beat” today. They’re clearly running online video stories to see if they can steal from the rapidly growing readership of “Will Video for Food.” I may not be as classy, accurate, easy-to-read or comprehensive. But I’m…
JibJab and John Landis Team Up for “Great Sketch Experiment”
Visit JibJab to see the latest: Six 5-minute sketches directed by John Landis (Animal House, Trading Places). The winning sketch gets a $10K development deal with JibJab. The videos are all a bit long for web viewing- should have been capped at 3 minutes, since it’s almost impossible to endure 30 minutes of video unless…
Old Media On “Death March,” And YouTube is “Draconian”
We are highly amused by thoughts from former Disney CEO (Michael Eisner) at the recent NATPE event (see TubeFilter for more). Eisner is now CEO of The Torante Company, and its digital studio is called Vuguru. Very web 2.0 branding. He speaks about traditional media’s “death march,” and says YouTube’s revenue share “draconian.” But he also…
Blennus: Driveling Idiot
A “guilty pleasure” site: Blennus. My slogan for it. “Blennus: The red-neck cousin of Break.com.” Three warnings: 1) It’s got really annoying ads, 2) It knew what city I’m in because it featured narly local women in a banner, 3) Some of the stuff is PG-13 or worse.
Is There Such Thing as a Viral Video Writer?
Is there such thing as a viral video writer? In most cases, viral creators are both writing and shooting their own work. But as the business matures, it’s highly possible that — just like television and film — writers will write and video people will produce. How long before they collaborate, and how will they…

That looks fun, I guess. But admit it, you’d rather be running around honkey-town filming people with toilet paper hanging out they ass.

I’m so conflicted – do I jealously wish I was there or say shut up and stop your whining?

@2 ^works for me
It’s no wonder you have so much credit card debt.
That’s just my way of saying I’m jealous.
@8
Meh, I must be lying.
@10 nice leap 😉
@9 So glad I could get the debt reminder while we’re spending away. The resort/airfare wasn’t bad, but you gotta stay out the Bermudian grocery stores.
What the fuck is up with that Jim Edwards? You want we should roll his car while you’re on vacation? Just say the word, Nalts, and your back row will have his hide.
@13 I could never actually encourage that while on public record. But pre-used TP adds drama. Hypothetically speaking.
