I found this quote interesting, as Liz Stowasky of the “Point Click and Go” show on Fox.com interviewed Michael Buckley (see video) from the WhatTheBuckShow. Stowasky asked Buckley about his plans for the future: “It’s so funny because whenever I do interviews they always seem disappointed when I kinda say I’m happy where I’m at….
Alas, online viewers may have a short attention span, but the rapid-fire entertainment has its roots more than 4000 years ago. Here’s the oldest recorded animation, and it’s made by sequencing five images on a goblet that may date back to 2600 B.C. This according to the archeology blog on About.com (warning- pop-ups will chase…
Google closed on the acquisition of DoubleClick today, and issued this statement to address concerns (continued Dart service, as well as privacy provisions).

The folks at Improv Everywhere have done it again. This one gave me goose bumps. A spontanious musical number has an entire food court baffled. When security arrives, things get even more interesting. I give you “Food Court Musical.” Seriously. Does anyone know these people? I’ve been trying to get into the secret mailing list…

Alright, the “Cheat sheet for marketers interested in online video” didn’t get a lot of views. And frankly I get more people consuming my content in an hour than read this damned blog in a day. So to hell with you. Here’s what you should do to get viral, stupid marketers and agencies. Spend an…
Well we’re clearly in the bubble burst of online-video sites. Stage6 shut down, and Revver was sold. Who’s next?
It took almost two months of deliberation, but our judges have selected the honorable mentions and winner of the “Weird Comment” contest, which boasts a grand prize of an autographed slice of American cheese. As you won’t likely recall, back on January 5, 2008, I invited you to post the weirdest comments on this TechCrunch…
