Here’s an interesting CBS story on viral videos and how marketers are approaching them smartly… and not so smartly. Very well produced piece. Of course I’m biased. My “Annoying Bird” made a cameo (see top middle of the frame- in green).
I just took this photo, and had to post it even if it has absolutely nothing to do with this blog. It’s Charlie Nalts and Triscuit (the kitten of babysitterofnalts). See babysitterofnalts’ video that was supposed to go on sevenawesomekids but she hijacked it. It’s the Nalts kids dancing.
I did a Google search for YouTube sucks (for reasons I can’t quite explain because I’m not mad at YouTube today). Here’s what I found. A Brit waxes poetically about YouTube’s sucking.

Has your stuff been on all three networks yet? Think HBO deal.
I can’t remember. CBS above. “Cancelling Comcast” made ABC (Nightline) no thanks to my lame sister. CNN used my video version of the Cancelling AOL to close the story.

What I really want is Comedy Central. That’s my target demo.
