Well maybe the headline is an overstatement because I have no idea what this Korean website is saying about me. But I’m sure it’s something like “he’s a viral video genius” who knows marketing and online-video better than anyone else in the globe. If you happen to speak or read Korean, I’d invite a translation. Google…
Fiction and reality can be ironic. Last Thursday night I joined some folks in NYC to shoot the recent “Farting Unites,” but not before meeting in Newark to get killed by PaulScott1972 — here’s his frightening video threat. And here’s a video called “Ignored: Part 5.” It’s graphic and involves a car being tampered, but…
A recent study shows that the shrinking percent of US citizens that don’t watch online-video regularly are more likely (by 45%) to be boring than their video-watching counterparts. This study, mind you, is based not on a significant N or any official methodology. It’s just based on my own experience. For example, here’s a result…
eBaums featured my worst video ever a few hours ago. It’s called “l33t dwarf horses,” and it’s a parody of “Internet gaming speak.” It was inspired by DigitalPh33r (see recent post on him). For more about l33t, see this Wikipedia entry. Or the Urban Dictionary version of it. eBaums must have ripped the video from…
Sorry. This is the kinda post that industry people don’t care about, but some of my viewers might. I’m going live with Rhett & Link tonight (Thursday, April 17 at 9 EST). That’s 2 am for you folks in England, but you never sleep anyway. [Added April 21: here’s the archive of the show]. Rhett…
Marilyn, a regular WillVideoForFood commenter, has established a FaceBook fan club of Nalts. Does this legitimize my viralastitude?
Okay maybe “top secret” is an over statement, but most readers of this post will find a few surprises here. I give you some of the lesser known tricks on YouTube to optimize your experience as a viewer or creator… Find Best Videos on YouTube Don’t surf the homepage or most-recently uploaded section if you…
Darfur. We both know how serious it is, but we’re not sure exactly why or where it is. The Onion (helping you seem more informed”) has produced this fantastic parody of news analysis. It’s called “How Can We Let Darfur Know How Much We’re Doing For Them.” I’ve never laughed as much in preparing a…
It’s the biggest myth of online-video advertising. If a brand advertises on YouTube it will appear with consumer-generated media that includes such content as cats on skateboarders. TVweek’s “New Media Minute,” hosted by Daisy Whitney, featured a recent interview with YouTube’s Jordan Hoffner to set the record straight (via WebVideoReport). Naturally I couldn’t resist a…
Patton Oswalt, one of my absolute favorite comedians, rants about YouTube on this Comedy Central “Root of All Evil” video excerpt. Good to know he’s watching. Hey, Patton… Forget the sneezing Panda bear. I think Farting in Public rival Citizen Kane.
