The Happyslip stapler (and headshot) I “stole” from her apartment has fetched $872.00 on eBay to benefit CanineLifeline.org. Congratulations to Johni D, a Canadian collector of autographed head shots. I hope he doesn’t toss the stapler! More importantly, thanks to HappySlip for sharing her likeness to benefit animal rescue. Here’s the video of the stapler…
Regular WillVideoforFood poster, Liam Gooding, has created a site dedicated to fights. It’s called Fight-Vids, and he’s got a blog on the subject as well. Mind you I haven’t watched all of his videos and I avoid fights because they generally hurt (“I’m not like other people- I don’t like pain”*). That said, I suppose…
Episode 11 of “Viral on Veoh” features Host Sunny Gault in Philadelphia. I missed seeing her live, but she include moments of my recent “Mall Pranks” (aka Mall-licious) at the end of the segment. Thanks, Sunny. The show’s pacing has picked up dramatically. This episode moves at the speed of light.
Just what some of the popular personalities on YouTube needed. The NYTimes is calling them “hot properties,” and providing examples of some YouTube “weblebrities” getting courted by other sites. Indeed there’s been at least one example of this with Smosh, a creator who was paid to move from YouTube (where he still posts) to LiveVideo….
Nice list of viral lists. Some wisdom from around the web on viral marketing — thanks to Adrian.

Later this year, subscribers to FIOS TV (which is limited to certain regions) will be able to watch Revver videos from the comfort of their couch. They’ll be free to viewers, and Revver and the creator will evenly split an…
As the plot continues in the GooTubeConspiracy, I needed to “fake my own death to throw off my stalkers.” So I called the viral video special-effects guru, Davideo Design. If you haven’t seen Pepsi Mentos Girl, then drop what you’re doing and visit his site immediately. Disturbing, funny and compelling content. Here’s Davideo’s page on…
Poor Ernie. His friendly roommates play pranks on him non-stop, and document them on PrankVote.com. We’re not sure they’re all real, but we don’t care. In Library pervert, the guys replace Ernie’s Windows startup sound with porn sounds, and then put “art” books in his bag so the alarm goes off as he leaves the library. In…
As regular readers know, two of my videos were placed on Break.com without my consent. To its credit, Break quickly fixed the attribution, and offered to pay me $400. The contract was fairly restrictive so I decided to forgo the money. Some of you were begging me to expose the event, but I decided to…
I don’t believe I’ve ever laughed at a video as much in my life. Maybe it’s because I know Zack, but this video titled “The Car Wash” brought me to tears. Five minutes after watching it I was still laughing. You have to watch the whole thing. There are a few moments where you think…
