TubeMogul is giving online-video reators a profile page to showcase their work (see my Nalts profile). TubeMogul is now helping connect advertisers with popular and talented creators for ad sponsorships or custom-content development that would give brands broader access, street credibility, and a higher-impact exposure.

I’ll admit. As much as I laughed at LisaNova’s recent parody of Sarah Palin (Republican John McCain’s vice-president running mate), I also beat myself up. My own Sarah Palin spoof was done in haste as we rushed to visit the inlaws for Labor Day. So that gave me time for just one take, and sloppy…
Leave it to the hyper talented Davideo Designs (see his website at www.davideodesign.co.uk) to create this magically delicious “YouTube Celebrity Dance-Off” competition. The poor guy solicited clips from YouTubers, and patienty waited. Finally he decided to go with special effects listed below.
