Best Online-Video of 1986 and 2010
If you know Greg Benson, Mediocrefilms and Mediocrefilms2, then you’ll squeal with delight in discovering this vintage piece. It’s a training video for an upscale fast-food restaurant (or downscale real restaurant). I’m not naming the company name because I’d hate for them to ask for it to be removed. It’s vintage Greg… before the hair…
Chad Hurley (co-founder of YouTube) and Michael Robertson (counder of MP3.com)
Here’s a video from ZDNet that features part of a round table about consumer-generated media at the AlwaysOn Stanford Summit in Palo Alto, Calif. At first I’m bored by Chad.

And that’s not a “finite impulse response,” stalkerofnalts. Reports the Times: If the originators of hate mail can be identified Singh would be perfectly within his rights to move cases of defamation, perhaps even…
Which Will Last Longer: MTV’s PRANKED or COLLEGE HUMOR
I heard rumors that MTV isn’t going to renew College Humor, but I quite like the Pranked show staring Amir Blumenfeld and Streeter Siedell (haven’t these guys heard of friggin’ stage names)? The College Humor brand is strong, and the web content is exceptional. But for reasons I can’t explain, this stuff doesn’t transfer to…
Understanding Online-Video Using SEM Analogies
A media buyer recently approached me to see if YouTube “stars” could beat .05 on a cost-per-view basis. It was such an odd question, and one that made me realize we’re still comparing apples to oranges. As I answered the question (yes, but…) I found myself drawing analogies to a more familiar digital medium: search…

This might have been funny if he weren’t wasting the time of the car(s) behind him. Pranks with collateral damage to innocent bystanders make me uncomfortable.

who?
That kid has always creeped me out. Not funny and disturbed in a mentally deficient sort of way.
At least it was short. Good message but it could have been funnier.

Enjoy this.
That was the longest minute of my life!
Yeah, not feeling it.
