Ever surf The Wayback Machine (http://web.archive.org) to see what your favorite websites looked like back in their early days?
Here’s an early version of YouTube…
Even better… an early shot of Google. Ah, memories.
Time for a quick “best of” of VidCon 2011, the second-annual gathering of creators and members of the YouTube community (founded and run by Musician Hank Green and his brother Author John Green, aka VlogBrothers). Oh I’m Nalts by the way. My nametag was titled, “once mattered.” 🙂 Here are some of my favorite 15…
Just discovered Mobijokes.tv. The site features very short jokes that are acted out and shot in cinema-quality form. Fantastic production, and some very funny bits. Be sure to sign up so you know when new ones hit. This is the kind of thing that will explode as we start wanting to consume videos via the…
I picked up the Feb. 6 Time Magazine (another recent issue of Time provided a nice summary of YouTube recently), and what did I find? A review by Lev Grossman of John Green’s new book titled “The Fault in Our Stars.” It’s nice to see a YouTube weblebrity get some coverage in a national magazine,…
This is the most amazing reaction I’ve had to “Beyond Viral” (a book I published via David M. Scott and Wiley last fall). Here’s Moomay’s dog Jack devouring the content.
Check out this invitation video, and submit your creative YouTube video by the end of July… 20-25 winners will have their artistic video played at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (it’s a collaboration between YouTube and Guggenheim). Here’s the teaser video, which gives us a zooming look at the play button in various mediums. It…
Memelabs has a platform for running viral-video contests. Didn’t know that existed until now, and it seems to make sense. It’s a better alternative to a “throw away” site that is custom designed by an agency. No big clients yet, but a number of active contests.

Oh man, speaking of that, does anybody remember the old Willvideoforfood logo?
You must be bored.
@1 Ha, what was it? The solo video camera of some sorts pointing at you?
It’s ever changing, I can’t keep up with it now adays. Pink, green, cheese…although I must admit the Nalts/Katie picture is the cutest thing ever! :o)
If you go back in time far enough, some of my videos are actually worth watching!
The Wayback Machine is fun.
@3: I liked the green best, the pink least.
I didn’t know google existed until… I think 2003. Youtube I didn’t use until early 2006. I didn’t upload until early 2008.
yeah, of course I fail.

I remember one of the early WVFF banners was a picture of Nalts holding a bum’s “Will video For Food” cardboard sign on the left with a picture of a boxy video camera on the right. It was kind of dark and colorless. I like the moving cheese one better.
I got nothing to say, but hi and [click] my blog unless you hate America
Very amusing. I never saw the round/blue YouTube.
WTF!!! My google reader has been broken!!!
