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.
Congratulations to Jake & Amir for the cover photo on Entertainment Weekly.
Alright, the “Cheat sheet for marketers interested in online video” didn’t get a lot of views. And frankly I get more people consuming my content in an hour than read this damned blog in a day. So to hell with you. Here’s what you should do to get viral, stupid marketers and agencies. Spend an…
I’d buy a bag full o’ shit if Rhett and Link were promoting it. They are probably the best creative duo for online-video promotions, and I’ve written about many of their promotions, from Butterfinger to Alka Seltzer.

Another online video article by WSJ: “Google to Distribute MTV Clips: Deal for Ad-Backed Videos Could Bolster Revenue, Broaden Viacom’s Reach” by Matthew Karnitschnig. How’d you like to have that last name and have to spell it to people 4 times in a row every single day? The Highlights Google will distribute video programming from…
Oh sorry. I wasn’t speaking to you. I was talking to the blog. Would value your tips on improving the look and experience of this blog.

The Wayback Machine is fun.
@3: I liked the green best, the pink least.

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!!!
