We’ve all seen the YouTube comments full of rage, sarcasm and criticism. The angry YouTube commenters say things like:
Now let’s take a look into the psyche of an “online video commenter.” Here we’ll understand what makes one of them tick and what’s REALLY motivating them… starting with early childhood rejection.
We're all getting used to crappy video online. It may stream quickly, but it's a pixelated as Atari's original Space Invaders. Will this improve soon? Not for the most part. Sure some of us will upgrade to higher end pro-sumer video cameras ($3000-$10,000). And broadband will allow for higher file-size uplpoads than the typical 100…
I blog about online video, but there are a few other things I like about the Internets. Here are 10 ways to escape your mundane existence. I like reading Uncle Stevy (Stephen King) write about pop culture and film on EW.com (link isn’t working and I actually read it in print on the pooper). I’ve…
Just back from vacation, and confused about your new YouTube player? Well you’re not alone. Here’s the new look and feel, and new functionality. The most profound change was the shift from 5 stars to the “thumbs up, thumbs down.” That’s a smart move, given that the majority of raters gave it 5 stars, followed…
According to “Always On,” MIT’s Henry Jenkins says that the success of YouTube is from the “creation of content around communities of interest.” It’s not voyeurism and xhibitionism, he says. Or individual self display or expression. And social networking, says Jenkins, is here to stay. In this short BeetTV clip, Jenkins talks about online video, and the…
Shire, the company that got spanked for the Ty Pennington video, relaunched an ADHD website to help visitors, especially those who may be new to ADHD, with an “easy-to-navigate road map to help learn about ADHD and finding success in living with the disorder.” It’s called adhdsupport.com. I didn’t go to it because I think…

Here’s the latest comment I got on MetaCafe:
“Zack nice job teaching that cat to fetch
Just ignore those c**k******* p.s. your not ugly

I’d imagine that was a good video. But I don’t know, because I was too busy trying to figure out if his eyes were blinking out of sync. (Sorry if that’s really your bro-in-law or something, Nalts.)
BTW: Zack, I’d take ‘you look like a nerd’ over ‘you’re ugly’ any day.

WTF? And you presume to represent ALL canadians? Go back to idiot school you forgot too pick up your diploma and… no, really, you should post that as a response to some high traffic/high drama emo-fest and, you know, really sock it to them commenters because … well, I can’t go on… because I’m going to cry….
What do Canadians have to do with it? Don’t cry, Mark. Or at least record yourself crying.
Yeah- it’s my brother-in-law. He fires people for a living. I typecast him. There was something wonderfully twitchy about his eye in this video. I was going to disguise his voice and blurr his face, but the performance was too good to mute.
And he calls ME a freak.
“Canadians” is a joke so private, that only I get it. Sometimes, I get comments that not only tell me I’m not funny, but also get my nationality wrong. And you call yourself a Canadian?!
Ahhhh. Got it. Like you have a responsibility as a Canadian to make better videos.
The Southern folks haven’t gone there yet with me. But that’s because most of them aren’t yet online.
Hahahaha! Funny stuff. Background music just right. And the eye twitch . . . he should seek professional help. No, seriously. He won’t be able to play poker with a ‘tell’ like that.
