Here’s a video from ZDNet that features part of a round table about consumer-generated media at the AlwaysOn Stanford Summit in Palo Alto, Calif. At first I’m bored by Chad. Then Michael kicks in, and I almost think we’ll have an intelligent debate. But it seems like the themes are: YouTube is creating a stage…
In the interest of search-engine optimizing this video, I had to give up the punchline in this post’s title. What happens when you meet a hot woman at a bar and she happens to be bald (or, uhm, suffering from “male pattern baldness”? The video, titled “Awesome Bar Scene,” is hysterical, and worth watching twice….
Calling all tech-savvy entrepreneurs. There’s an unmet need among us online-video nerds. We spend hour submitting to multiple sites, and it’s quite time consuming and tedious.

I’ve just noticed that my videos get far more views on Google Video and Yahoo Video, despite the fact that YouTube has the lion’s share of online videos. I have two theories: 1. YouTube is so annoyed with me that they do anything they can (without being obvious) to ensure that my videos don’t get…

Nice piece by ZeFrank on copyright law, YouTube, and Creative Commons. It’s not as funny as his normal daily blog, but very informative. Raises some important issues about consumer-generated videos and the implications of profit, copyright law and Adam Curry who steals stuff.
In this video, “Bike Theft Stunt,” field reporter for Fox station loses her cool when guy cuts finger trying to saw a bicycle lock.

Kevin Maney of the USAToday wrote the article that might pop the Internet online video zit. And it needs to be popped. I can’t stop looking at it. I just want to take my thumbs together and pop that pulsating red and white pimple. Because only when it’s gone can we move to the interesting…
