Sirius and XM Merge

ByNalts

If Sirius and XM can merge, what’s ahead for online video? Not much for now. It’s unfortunate that there would be a merger in a space where consumers would benefit from competition. And yet there remains a proliferation of consumer-generated video sites — most of whom don’t attract enough eyeballs to exist alone. Still, the barriers to…

Online-Video Journalist Humiliated in “Pussy Cat Review Show”

Now there’s the Domain Name Dollar Store by QuietLibrary. See this video… “MySpace may be taken but MyShpaesh.com isn’t.” (thanks Jan for this tip). I’ve…

  2. Ha! You totally included this, which has nothing to do with the topic of this blog, to suck up some hits on searches for Susan Boyle.

    Hey – this guy calls you his hero:

    I’ve called you many things, but hero is not one of them. You’ve made too many “running away” themed videos, to qualify as any sort of hero.
