Shira Lazar interviewed Daneboe, creator of Annoying Orange. She even has her face placed on an orange, which is totally going beyond the realm of appropriate journalism. Then again, the new host of “Partners Project” has been a character on the show before (Peach).
Oh sorry. I suppose I could have just e-mailed the folks at The Onion, but it’s just as easy to blog them. And hope their social-media monitoring tools dig deep enough to find this blog (ranked just below the left-handed lesbians’ jewelry accessory blog). BRING BACK PUNDIT JOAD CRESSBECKLE (seen here expressing his concern about humanized potatoes)… To…
First- the disclaimers. I share in advertising revenue from YouTube. And I’m a content partner for Next New Networks, but not an employee or quite the size of these guys. I’m just some marketing clown with a video camera, no writing staff, but 175 million views. Big deal. My blog’s still ugly. So I’m not privileged to any…
Enjoy a collage of some of the seminal viral-video moments in 2010. I’ve already posted about what we can learn from these, but I thought you might enjoy YouTube Trend’s video montage.

The FBI issued an alert for “Barbie Video Girl” (see Barbiecam on Amazon), according to MyFoxPhoenix. Barbie has a camera on her chest (right above her size Ds) and a small LCD on her back. The controversy (see NBC) concerns how pedophiles might use the camera. Mattel isn’t planning on changing her. Would you? Speaking…
YouTube will now allow hand-picked compliant Tubers to post clips longer than 15 minutes. “This is incredible news to me, and I plan to post more than 24 hours of footage a day,” said Charles Trippy in a quote I made up. “I’ll now be able to post footage from 5 different cameras and allow…
Prompted by Google’s statement that YouTube vows “quicker, tougher copyright enforcement,” ReelSEO’s Grant Crowell tackled this issue on a listenable podcast titled “YouTube Copyright Tips,” with the help of David Michail and Daliah Saper (check 5-minute mark of this video to hear Saper’s illuminating story about what I’ll call a “social-media impaired judge”). Crowell’s got a…
This is a real Google Chrome operating system promotion created by engineers and posted on YouTube. The good news? They set a low bar for consumers to create their own YouTube commercials. And maybe that thankless job of being a Google marketer will improve, as the product and engineer-driven company may finally recognize marketing as…
