“YouTubes In the Crowd” May Go to Googles at the Internets

ByNalts

I’m so glad that CarriBugbee shared this on The Twitter.

Here’s a video clip  that sets things straight about the Internets and technology vernacular.

Rachel Maddow’s correspondent Kent Jones shows how Montana Senator Max Bacchus referred to lots of “YouTubes in the Crowd.” A double whammy because he pluralized YouTubes, and presumably was thinking not about the website but the “motion-picture devices” recording things. You know those talkee recordings have sound now?

“Social media still matters very much,” said Adam Winters, one of 34 social-media consultant who attended last night’s Global Federation of Social Media Consultants (GFSMC) at the Airport Ramada in Newark, New Jersey. The “Businesses Get Social” networking event, followed by a “meet and greet” at a nearby Denny’s, did not appear to attract clients or…

Who’s Going to Change Online-Video Advertising?

ByNalts

I’ve often debated with myself who’s responsible for radical changes in online-video consumption and advertising. Creators? Marketers? Agencies? Media properties? I attended a recent iMedia Connection event, and found out an unlikely decision maker that advertisers and marketers agree will be the real driver of change. Um… you. See the chart below. You as the…

Exclusive, Leaked BS: How to Manipulate YouTube

ByNalts

All the bad advice on how to manipulate YouTube in one handy video. Where do I start? Buried in this, actually, is some good advice… Like being creative about tagging with less competitive terms. And keeping a video shocking and fast, and coming up with clever names and thumbnails. But much of it is futile…

Bigelow Tea Putting Face to Brand… But Nobody Will See It

ByNalts

Chris Brogan uses this Bigelow Tea example (see video below) of how to “put a face to a brand.” He’s right.. In just a few seconds, you’ll think differently of Bigelow, and it might change your behavior when you confront dozens of choices of tea (many with more exotic packaging and higher price points). BUT…

  1. Funny thing this YouTube; it could actually make Politicians be careful about what they say… instant accountability!

    Perish the thought considering so many Politicians began as Lawyers, you know how to tell if a Lawyer/Politician is lying don’t you? Simple if their lips are moving they’re lying!

    Thanks for sharing this story… I found a deeper meaning, BTW how’s the head healing?

    ciao bello

  2. I just love how much politicians don’t realize that clips of their flubs are floating around there on the interwebs. … And they try to deny that they said it … yeah.

  3. I’m even more incredulous when politicians say outrageous things on national television shows and then pretend they never did. Obviously a major network is neither going to lose the footage nor miss an opportunity to trot it out whenever politicians contradict themselves.

    Cheney has to be one of the biggest offenders of this, though Senator John Ensign is nipping at his heels lately. Michelle Bachman gets the wack-a-doodle award for most frequently outrageous self-contradictions.

  4. I was walking to the BART station this morning and realized I had to fart. I decided to try and squeak one out. Well… there was no little squeak… it was REALLY loud! That was the point where I realized there were 2 guys walking behind me. They should be more careful who they choose to walk behind.

  5. @4, ha Nutcheese…I work in a controlled environment and the air is circulated every few seconds…I can literally be talking to my manager and let one rip. I love it!

  7. @Rey re:Instant Accountablitiy – Why do you think they’ve tried so hard to brand the YouTuber as the “out-of-touch loser who lives at home?”

  8. This all reinforces the concept that politicians are out of touch elitists. I remember Reagan was unable to tell a reporter how much a loaf of bread cost and Bush “the First” couldn’t identify the cost of a gallon of milk.

    Politicians should be forced to endure a “Live like a Common Person” Day at least once a year.

    I’ll go back to waxing my Nets-Surf board now..
