The online video market is getting more crowded. Here’s another revenue-sharing model in the lines of Revver and Eefoof and Motion.tv. It’s called Flixya. I discovered it from some self-promotional comments posted on popular YouTube videos. Looks interesting, but the proof is in the pudding. I’ve asked Marquis to post his earnings to date on…

YouTube Goes Bankrupt

No- YouTube hasn’t gone bankrupt. I make up headlines to ensure RSS readers pop in for a visit. I’m allowed to do that because I’m not a journalist I’m a blogger. I can even do this in the middle of a post… 😉  Furthermore I could make up data and not attribute quotes, but I’ve…

Perky Blonde Hosts YahooTV’s “The 9″

The 9, a daily show available on Yahoo TV, identifies interesting sites or videos. Worth a look. The videos are a bit closer to “Entertainment Tonight” humor than “Jon Stewart,” but it’s still worth a glance. Maria Sansone, the host, is eye candy… but the commentary isn’t as biting as WebJunk‘s host, Patrice O’Neal (he…
