Turns Out Twittering is as Profitable as Blogging
Oh wait. I don’t make money on either. So what explains my recent neglect of WillVideoForFood and obsession with Twitter? Maybe because it forces me to be terse.

Survey of “Business People” Substantiates Online Video
ByNalts
Well, he’s not crazy after all. Online video works even for the top brass it seems. A Forbest Insight study reported by eMarketer shows that online video actually has some business application… even in the coveted “C” suite (CEO, CMO, CFO and CIO). That last one stands for “career is over.” (Wait for laughter). Some…
Dragging Daisy Whitney From the Bleachers

Those industry writers (you know the type) often sit safely in the bleachers and observe the insanity below. But what if you drag the journalist into the center ring? What happens? What occurs when Peter Coffin poses as Whitney on a YouTube video? How does she react (see below). Does she use her TS Elliot…
What Do Online Video and Direct-Response TV Have in Common?
ByNalts
Direct-response television (TV ads that have a “call to action”) aren’t new. But I did have a chance to hear about best-practices on DR-TV and they struck me as awfully similar to some of the online-video entertainment best practices. Example: Immediate Appearance of Response Mechanism (start your video with a compelling clip) Response Mechanism Duration…
Proving Social-Media Articles Don’t Have to Suck

No, all social-media articles don’t have to suck. MediaPost’s Kelly Samardak takes us into a speakeasy during a social-media Mental Prohibition in this coverage of “Digital Cocktails: Keys to Social Media Success.” The piece, part business and human interest, chronicles the event — hosted at the NYC studios of ForYourImagination (where you can pass the social-media “dutchie on the…
Do My Stuff Video
ByNalts
DoMyStuff recently contacted me about making a video to promote its site. The company provides a marketplace where anyone looking to outsource chores, errands, or projects can locate (and do business with) responsible and experienced local help. So the initial bit was that my wife would bust me abusing the service to outsource my “honey…

You’re not hard to find.
My obsession has been ancestry.com
I found a direct relative who fought with an infantry battalion from Iowa in the civil war. He was promoted, and ended up leading a colored infantry division in Arkansas. I guess only whites could be officers. His family is listed on an 1880 census form. There is a column on the form that asks the census taker to write in if, on the day of the visit, the person is too sick to do their normal duties, and what their ailment is. The only person for whom anything is listed in this column is my relative. The ailment listed? Chronic diarrhea.
^Chronic diarrhea was a death sentence in those days.
I’m hooked on Adultswim games 🙁
Check out the adventures of a rodential extrusion mold:

You didn’t tweet all of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Were you busy making videos or what?
He and his irritable bowels made it to 1891.
Actually, I make more from my tweeted ads than the ones on my blogs…
Wait a minute! How is THIS website not blocked from school, but Incompetech is? That is outrageous!!
Yes, this comment is entirely unrelated to the post, but I am angry, and needed to vent a little bit during study hall.
I can’t split my attention that much..and Kevin never followed me on Twitter so life is meaningless.
Just took a beautiful morning poop.
^ You think ALL your shit is beautiful. Why dontcha marry it, huh?
@10 I don’t think that’s legal yet. Probably won’t be too much longer until it is though. Those fecal rights activists are pretty convincing.
@8 He’s never followed me either Jimmer! Considering I’m such an avid Twitter-er-er-er! He’s missing out!
^ I’ve been following you, Jason. What am I? Chopped liver?
:0
See even chopped liver is following you Jason! (Dabs an emo tear)
@11
Now you’ve got me wondering if Nutcheese is a fecal rights activist and if not, why not?
@13 / 14 Haaa! MDJ, you’re my Old Faithful…I can count on you to be there when I send out my first tweet after a year hiatus! Jimmer, turn that frown upside down! 🙂
I think Nut should be crowned the FRA (Fecal Rights Activist) doo-gooder of the year! Hey, CNN’s having a vote for hero of the year…I think they accidentally left her out!

These comments seem to derail from the blog post topic pretty quickly. (But there wasn’t much to discuss about this post anyway…)
I guess it is not without reason that Nalts called the WillVideoForFood back row “some of my bizarre online video fans” during a live interview(?) a couple weeks ago. (Or so says some dude who actually watched it.)
This blog certainly does seem to attract some wonderfully, uh, eccentric individuals.
Kevin, I would love to see a vlog where you talk about some of the unusual people who follow you. (Not me; I’m perfectly normal, got it?)
(By the way, do you even actually read these comments on a semi-regular basis?)
Who the hell is Kevin?
There’s a Kevin on this blog?
Since when?
Oh, That reminds me
@19 There is a certain Kevin Nalty who sometimes shows up.
He’s been around for a while.
@8 @12 He’s actually replied to me but still doesn’t follow. I deal with it by softly crying myself to sleep each evening while constantly refreshing his latest video in the hopes that one day my contribution may help Charlie be able to attend a modestly priced junior college.
@13 I follow you Marquis, but am admittedly afraid to click on any of the links you post.
@21 Same here. He has mentioned/replied to me a few times but doesn’t follow me. I think NutCheese might be following me though.
@20 That’s not Nalts. It’s Nutcheese in drag.
@21
Afraid?
Don’t be a light weight.
🙂
@Alexis I don’t follow you. I get enough of your annoying comments here to satisfy me.
@25 Are you sure about that? I don’t use my real name on Twitter so how do you know I’m not one of the 136 people you follow?
@25: But you love ME, right Nutcheese?
@27 Marylinn… you know I love YOU!!! Will you bitch slap Alexis please?
@28 Hey! What did I do to deserve a bitch slap?
Marilyn, everybody loves you. Some of us even spell your name correctly.
Did you poop today?
http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#/photo.php?pid=90492&id=100000136807107
@30 No. I think I did yesterday or maybe it was the day before yesterday…I don’t really keep track.
So you think that’s why NutCheese doesn’t like me?
^Probably, Alexis. Nutcheese likes folk who stay on top of their poop.
