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.
Even the niche interest groups are looking at online video. Jim’s blog on bikingdiscusses how to use online video to enhance the community of bicycling. Jim’s a friend, and I have no idea about the biking world (except that Tour de France accidents are interesting to watch on video). But he’s performed in a number…
Why are the ladies so busy on social media (see clip below) but not much on watching online videos? I have some theories but they’re crap. If you don’t share yours, I’ll not only share my crap theories I’ll make up fake facts to substantiate them.
If you’ve watched a few horror movies, and screamed “don’t go outside to check things out, you idiot!” then you might find this short interactive zombie film worth some time. It’s got some gore, though. So I warned you. It’s called Survive the Outbreak, and you’ll make choices almost every minute — each leaving you…
My friend used to call MTV “Doritos for the brain.” It won’t help you nutritiously, but it makes your brain happy in moderate doses. And that phrase is a wonderful way to think of the “fail” movement. I’ll now introduce you to (or perhaps remind you of) 2009’s “Doritos for the Brain”: FailBlog.org. The term “Fail”…
With mixed emotions, I tell you that the viral-video scene just got serious. My comedic idol, Will Ferrell, showcases his ability to jump backwards on the video-to-tv/film divide. I’m thrilled to see him set a higher bar, but candidly worried about a new breed of competition. He and Adam McKay appear in this hysterical video…
Last week I wrote a post where I interviewed Al, the algorithm behind YouTube. I received a lengthy comment from someone identifying him/herself as 1000Lurkers (e-mail was not real). It’s clearly written based on some fairly intense observation, and I believe some “inside” knowledge of YouTube’s relationship with Partners and advertisers. I’m not suggesting it’s all accurate,…

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.
@1
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!!!
