I’m getting swarms of traffic from the YouTube feature, so I thought I owed it to new visitors to explain this blog briefly. It focuses on the online video space — especially for creators of videos or those who are looking to advertise and market via viral video. My goal is to use this blog…
Barats & Bereta, the most popular duo in viral video, are back. Here’s their latest video titled “The Other Son.” In this one, Barats (or Bereta) plays the role of God’s second son. I think it’s one of their finest videos since Mother’s Day because it’s hysterical and managed, I think, to avoid insulting Christianity….

Last I checked this blog was the #1 ranked for the terms “tigger punch” on Google. I’m so proud of that I decided to take a moment from our vacation to shoot this quick video of my kids… afraid of going to Disney because they might run into Tigger.
Revver’s recent change raises questions about the sustainability of amateur-created content, and whether Hollywood should be “dictating business models.” In a recent CNET article titled “YouTube Rivals Look for Answers,” Greg Sandoval reported that Revver co-founder Oliver Luckett and Revver’s Chief Technology Officer Rob Maigret have left Revver and are working together on a video project.

My sister sent me this elevator photo this morning and titled the e-mail “Nerds.” It’s the crowd going to Macworld. She works for “big media” and they’re interviewing Jobs today. But she doesn’t deserve to. It would be like her watching me interview (insert name of famous fashion designer). So have you been reading the blow-by-blow on…

They’re clearly running online video stories to see if they can steal from the rapidly growing readership of “Will Video for Food.” I may not be as classy, accurate, easy-to-read or comprehensive. But I’m…
If you’re interested in online advertising and video, this is a must-hear 10-minute podcast by Hoag Levins in the AdAge “Why It Matters” audio show. Levins interviews Advertising Age Editor Jonah Bloom and addresses the following: Why will ad agencies be forced to further trim their staffs? Why will media companiesl be “required to prove their…
I’ve been long begging for a technology that allows amatuer videographers to populate multiple video sites with ease. You may like the popularity of YouTube and the money from Revver, blip.tv and Metacafe. But you can’t afford to miss sites like AOL Uncut, Yahoo or Google Video since they do deliver volume.

I don’t track technology stocks well, and I certainly don’t understand the nuances of video compression. But my friend Jim Walker (www.mindpalace.com) is the one that told me to buy Cisco stock in 1996. I didn’t. Now he’s hot on ON2. Here’s a recent press release the company issued. According to the release, ON2 is…
