Oh shut up about the stupid recession, you big whiner. I’m sick of hearing about it — and just because it’s an economic depression doesn’t mean we all have to get clinically depressed. Seriously. You’re beginning to sound like that annoying friend who’s always complaining about health problems… The co-worker or neighbor who doesn’t know that…
Thanks YouTube for giving us the ability to link directly to a portion of a video. TechCrunch reports that it’s this easy: Just add the following after the video’s URL: #t=1m45s (where the number prior to m is minute, and before s is seconds). So let’s take my most popular video, which has a long…
Well the YouTubers are at it again. Some are gathering in NYC as I type (see xgobobeanx and supadupaflygirl). Others are on Blogtv.com trying to stay awake for 48 hours… it’s a rematch of “The Iron Man.” The Nalts gang is watching Season 3 of the Brady Bunch. “Oh my nose!” It’s nice and dry…
I’ve always had a brain crush on Seth Godin, and used to preach his gospel when I worked at an interactive agency pre-bubble burst. But I had lost touch with the author since his Purple Cow book, and was glad to get a dose of his new “tribal marketing” insights last week in NYC. Here’s…
It’s a parodox, but it’s one of those things we learn about humankind thanks to the “hot spot” insight tool available on YouTube. You see, now we know when people exit our videos relative to the norm of videos of that same lenght. The chart below shows that the “Videogame Violence & Your Children” parody…
I originally titled this blog post, “PopTub: Does it Suck or Rock.” But then I realized PopTub is about a bigger issue. But first, let me set the context. Last Friday I wrote a post about PopTub and said I wanted to appear on it. Today that wish came true (see below). Now I just have…
I’ve long accepted that YouTube doesn’t do technical support, and that technical glitches may exist for extensive periods. It’s virtually a monopoly here, folks. What do you expect? You expect a messaging system with a terrible user experience, you expect your last video’s thumbnail to override your profile picture. You expect the video to upload…
Bored? Click this link, and you’ll get the best 60-plus “Best of Nalts” video playlist running without stop. Works better than Ambien.
This video has been in discussion for months and months, and I gotta give props to SlatersGarage and Iggy35 for continuing to provide pieces for it, as I stalled on it. CharlesTrippy, FallofAutumnDistro and Edbassmaster all turned around their parts with about 24-hours notice or less! The idea hit me earlier this year, and it…
Ever surf The Wayback Machine (http://web.archive.org) to see what your favorite websites looked like back in their early days? Here’s an early version of YouTube… Even better… an early shot of Google. Ah, memories.
