I get bags of e-mail each week about how to compress videos for online use. Since I use iMovie, I simply select “Share: CD-ROM” and transform a potentially 30 GB iMovie file into a small (10-20) MB .mov file that seems to upload well. (UPDATE: Don’t do this. Do this to get the best compression]….
NYC on “7.7.7” is shaping up to be the largest ever online-video meetup. I’m basing that on roughly 300 registrations on the horrendously ugly but informative www.youtubemeetup.com.

For $1K-$5K, Nalts will make a custom video that will appear on his popular YouTube channel and other online video sites. For details, see this video where Nalts “the video creator” debates Kevin Nalts the marketer. How does…
Online-video has rules, and I’ve broken one. And I don’t care. A while back two YouTubers (myself and CharlesTrippy) did a fake feud on YouTube that created something of a backlash. Our loyal subscribers were outraged that Charles and I would give out each other’s cell phones to torment the other (see Charles’ video, then…
