Check out Mad Ave Blues, a song parody of “American Pie” that spoofs the demise of traditional media and upfronts… written by LMcDuff08 (via OnlineVideoWatch). It’s really well sung and written, and hits some key themes in funny ways. Even if it’s about 6 minutes longer than it needs to be… it only took a day to make!
And then there’s “music chairs,” which shows all of the churn of top digital-media executives.
Take it from the author of “Beyond Viral,” dear reader. Viral video is like fire. It can create a toasty fire or get people burned. Today we learned out the Times Square billboard hack video was part of the campaign for the film, Limitless. The deception was the brainchild of the viral-video maker “ThinkModo,” according…
Interesting that Eefoof — a relatively new site that pays creators for content — is getting billed as a “YouTube competitor.” Check out this CNBC story and this Digg.com post, which raises the question as to whether it will be a YouTube killer. Mashable challenges the business model and calls the site ugly. I give…

That’s the lesson in the “2009 Battle of the Toasted Sandwiches.” Here’s a quick blow-by-blow recap (see Adweek for more): Dominos issues an independent taste test comparing its oven-baked sandwiches to Subway’s. Since they couldn’t obviously test every variation, they…

Or perhaps you’d like to pick from my personally hand-curated most epic weather people fails (below). a) Gloria Delgado-Pritchett look-alike Jeannette Calle was recording her Accuweather report when the earthquake hit yesterday at 1:51pm ET. To see her graceful preamble click…
