YouTube Live Hangover

I probably had about 4 drinks at YouTube Live (a concert, party and gathering in San Francisco on November 22, 2008). But I’m hungover the same way I was after visiting LA to shoot HBO Lab’s “Hooking Up” and “The Retarded Policeman.” Here are a few of the photos wifeofnalts took while I was busy…
Who is the Target Lady?

Target’s Black Friday campaign staring Maria Bamford spawned loads of “word of mouth,” and captured AdAge’s attention by ranking #2 on the AdAge Viral Chart with more than 1.5 million views in a week.

According to “Always On,” MIT’s Henry Jenkins says that the success of YouTube is from the “creation of content around communities of interest.” It’s not voyeurism and xhibitionism, he says. Or individual self display or expression. And social networking, says Jenkins, is here to stay. In this short BeetTV clip, Jenkins talks about online video, and the…
Video View Count: Short Shelf Life vs. Long Tail
ByNalts
TubeMogul reports on the short shelf life of online videos (courtesy of ReelPopBlog). While it’s true that 25% of video’s views tend to occur within the first 4 days, this is a bit missleading. First, TubeMogul focused on videos exceeding 1,000 views and the website is used more by serious content creators looking for broad distribution. Second,…
