It was a good week for YouTubers on NBC. Key of Awesome’s Mark Douglas appeared as Ian in the “Woggles,” a PG-13 version of Australian children singers, “The Wiggles.” And “Chocolate Rain Guy” (TayZonday) gets an SNL impression by Kenan Thompson! See Buzzfeed for a collection of Woggles media or see the entire episode of “30 Rock”…
YouTube, once extending “partnership” status to select video creators, announced this week that it would invite anyone to become a YouTube Partner — as long as they own a computer and have a pulse. Animals are not excluded. Here’s the news as announced in the YouTube Partner blog: Whether you’re a novice or a mogul,…
Yes, Virginia. You can still go viral… if you have an original idea and push production to a new level. It also helps to pay tribute to a popular video game. Here’s a video homage to Skyrim Elder Scrolls (a video game), an epic video that’s been seen more than a million times in the past…
I’m just back from iMedia Connection’s Video Everywhere event in San Antonio, and a highlight was Paul Kontonis presenting a bunch of new web series. I’m not sure these are yet posted online, but this much I can say: online video production is beginning to resemble that of television. Matt Timothy (Vindico) had a visceral…
And TheQuadSpot interviewed me for a surprisingly polished show for amateurs. Watch. Again it’s free. Seriously I’m just going to blog about myself for a while. It’s what bloggers do, right? I had a chicken sandwich on Weight Watchers bread. I’m down more than 20 pounds since I shot The Unlicensed Therapist. As Zipster08 might…
Tim Schmoyer interviews the Viral Video Genius for ReelSEO. Get smart, be entertained, watch Tim try to salvage an interview with me. Three so far… three coming. Enjoy. They’re free. Comment below about how awesome we are. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuO7lgecyYc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiIlDqD4TrM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXKjjQSJsJA
Perhaps you watched Celebrity Apprentice last night, where the b-listers teamed up to create a “viral” video for O-Cedar’s ProMist Spray Mop. Note that I put “viral” in quotes since it’s not a viral video unless it goes viral. For that matter, let’s call it what it is: try-ral. It’s trying. It may go viral,…
Yahoo showed a fairly large increase in last month’s online-video viewing. How? I’ll give you a hint: it’s news. Since most of the monthly comScore data is predictable, the blogs have jumped on this… Search Engine Watch called it “colassel as a giant squid,” and TubeFilter called it “massive.” While 20% growth on a low…
No more bad posture for Nalts. At least starting in 8 to 10 weeks. I just ordered this innovative, high-tech device to retrain my shoulders. It’s from a National Inquirer ad, so it must be good. (Muscles sold separately). Do you suppose I should order the 4 in 1 slimming vest too? Just saying… (Eyebrow…
Yeah I’m blogging again. Wanna know why? I’m using MarsEdit, which is Mac software that sits on top my blog. This means I don’t have to use the ass interface of WordPress, which is giving me a white screen on the edit screen… I can only type on the HTML screen which makes it really…
