YouTube is a Search Engine, Dummy
YouTube was once a popular video-sharing site built on community. That community is still critical to gaining and keeping a large audience, but heat maps show the YouTube masthead is HAWT around the search field, and YouTube is now the second most-popular search engine after Google. It beats MSN and Yahoo. Or YahooMSN. ReelSEO has…
Crowdsourcing a Creator’s Best Videos
I had trouble when putting together my “best of Nalts” DVD because it’s not easy to rank my videos on YouTube or other sites by rating. Also- the ratings aren’t necessarily fair. A popular video ALWAYS gets a lower rating than one that’s seen by a small group of my regular viewers. Superl8tive.com just invented…
Poor Man’s FlipCam: Sylvania DV-128
A few people have written me notes to the extent of, “I wish I could do videos, but my camera is so bad.” I usually tell them to relax, and just make sure the lighting and compression is good. The reality is that those two factors can make up for a lot if your camera…
Eat Your Heart Out, I Made “Internet People 2”
Editorial update: See this site for more information. Thanks, Travis! Oh yeahhhh… Nalts ranking it up with some seriously online killers. Thanks Brentalfloss! Feeling cool! Here’s the Internet People original, which will remind you of some classics (most of which you’ll hear about again from your mom soon since she discovered Facebook). Oh- and then…
What is Social Media? Um… Just Watch This and Shut Up
Hours ago I had someone tell me they didn’t know what social media was today. My brother-in-law told me his competitors are using Twitter, and looked at me like he’d just seen a pig fly. Then I stumble into this video. And I’m, like, yoooooo…. this is the stank baby. This is social media. Oh…
Hitler is Pissed About Oasis Breakup (parody video)
This is funny even if you know nothing about Oasis or its breakup. Hitler’s reaction to the fact the band won’t tour Germany… One of the most viral videos according to Viral Video Chart. “I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer,’ posted Noel Gallagher on Oasis’ website a few hours…
Dear YouTube “Star”: You Won’t Get Rich Selling Your Videos
I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again in case you weren’t listening. Unless you’re Felicia Day or maybe MediocreFilms, don’t bother selling your amateurish videos online. I don’t know that I’ve made any money selling copies on YouTube (heck I don’t even know if I’ve activated it). And I’ve sold exactly two of…
Video Persuasion Proved: Socialized Medicine Looks Brilliant!
I’ve spent the past dozen years or so working primarily in the pharmaceutical industry. So when I hear “government-run healthcare” or “socialized medicine,” here are some of my spontaneous thoughts: Medicare pinches profit and incentive out of system: the end of medical and pharmaceutical research & development. A visit to the doctor becomes like waiting in a…
If YouTube, Google, Twitter & Facebook Were Cartoon People
If the popular websites were cartoon people, what would they look like? Elontirien on deviantART has the answer below (via ContenttoCommerce). Perhaps nothing is amusing as Dr. Google staring in disdain at his adolescent son/brother, YouTube (shooting the bird with both hands).
