Thanks to the most excellent Jan and TrippleHelix, we now have a WillVideoForFood forum. It’s completely dark right now, but I hope you’ll step in and make comments. I want to grant admin rights to any of you that are regulars and want to help. The ideas we’ve discussed for the forum: Great new sites…
A lot of interactive agencies are now pitching clients on the value of online video to promote products and services. But how many of them are brave enough to throw themself in the mix? At a recent “lunch and learn” for Atlanta-based “Spunlogic,” I spoke about online-video marketing to some major media and marketing companies….
I’m coming out of the closet as an 8.5 fan of NBC’s “The Office.” This new video (titled ‘The Office’ Obsessed Fan”) is directed toward the creators and actors of “The Office.” It’s rated 5th highest “video of the day” on YouTube and the second most discussed. So hopefully the staff finds it. I have…
I’m working on a post that summarizes some of the recent statistics related to online video, and I’m hoping YouTube will share some recent stats. I’m also hoping I can post some of the data I source via Hitwise in my day job (with permission). In the meantime, I found this Profy post titled “ComScore…
I feel like I need to shed light on a recent controversy regarding my use of promotional videos. Feel free to comment and Digg this post if you like. The vast majority who watch my videos are receptive to an occasional promotional video. Take my recent “Poor Man’s GPS” video I did for GPSManiac as…
The folks behind Xlntads.com (the contest site that connects brands and video creators) were good enough to let me hijack their studio for my fake election videos (“Embarassing TV Appearance” and “Embarassing TV Appearance part 2“). Famed YouTuber, Renetto, makes a cameo in these. So the least I could do was talk about Xlntads for…
The folks that connected me with my recent sponsored video for GPSManiac did a blog entry that recounts the way the idea developed. Here’s the video, titled “Poor Man’s GPS.” It’s currently the third highest rated Comedy video of the day on YouTube, which is the highest rating I’ve yet received for a sponsored video….
Funny Or Die, the website made famous by Will Ferrell’s “Landlord,” is now hosting a few of my favorite Nalts videos. Monday, Sept. 17 Update. Thank you YouTube subscribers for responding to this video and rating up my videos. Six of my appear as “hot” on the homepage! Now about that collaboration video with Will…
This is a great parody of the fact that Apple has released iTunes software that includes iPhone ringtones… even in Canada where you can’t buy an iPhone even if you wanted. The video is one of the “funniest of the day” on YouTube, but perhaps this comment posted by is even funnier: If (User.Country ==…
Nearly 9 months ago I begged for an alternative to uploading my videos manually to multiple websites. But shame on me. I’ve been uploading to dozens of sites for nearly two years, and we’re talking about nearly 500 videos. So that translates to several thousand times of doing the mundane “title it, describe it, tag…
