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 rawks.
I heard something noteworthy on the radio (a once-common method of listening to someone else’s MP3 collection while they spoke quite often and rang a bicycle bell when they thought they were funny). It seems there’s a government-sanctioned effort to tackle mobile drivers with the same vigilance as “Mothers Against Drunk Drivers” (MADD). I’m hoping…
Imagine for a moment you’ve just waited for 3 days in the rain. You’re about to buy a PS3 and some guy comes out dressed like a pimp. He’s holding a brand new PS3, but he drops it to the ground. The guy next to him slams it with a sledge hammer. See the video…
Seems that lady who fell into the mall fountain while texting (in a video that went viral, and resulted in her heartfelt news appearances) seems to have some prior convictions on her record… a few retail thefts and a hit and run. At least she didn’t appear to get any shoplifted goodies wet. For more…

Two out of three YouTube stars (Jody Rivera/VenetianPrincess and Greg Benson/Mediocrefims) featured in ABC News’ story on “YouTube Top Earners” were among the dozen profiled in my “Beyond Viral” book. Coincidence? Or did the student author, Clay LePard (a member of the ABC News on Campus bureau at Syracuse University) forget to read his journalism…
My favorite roving reporter, Alex Delyle (TheDailyReel), reports that Variety reports that YouTube may share ad revenue… some… day…. soon. Says Variety: Content creators who upload their videos to the site will be offered the option of having short ads shown at the beginning or end, with the resulting revenues split 50-50, according to Howard…

That should be a YouTube: “Now in Your Living Room” commercial.
Wow, I’ve never heard of such vague criteria for a video contest. I bet they’ll get mostly random junk from hipsters who think they are “original” and “innovative”.
I’ll send them “Inhuman Redneck Screams of The Long Sody Wahder Night” and see what happens.
It’d be really funny if someone uploaded literally 10 minutes of air humping.

I’ll do it, Peter!
I may actually do it. With like the hyperspace pattern behind it and a play button visible somewhere.
someone needs to teach me how to make my own website now!!!!!!!!!!!
I tried entering a video into the contest, but the online entry form wouldn’t let me get past the “I agree with the terms and conditions” step. It just kept displaying the terms and conditions, but didn’t provide a way to move past that step. Hopefully they’ll fix this problem soon. I suppose this could be a browser specific issue, but it’s not like Firefox is some kind of obscure browser!
