If the popular websites were cartoon people, what would they look like? Elontirien on deviantART has the answer below (via ContenttoCommerce).
Perhaps nothing is amusing as Dr. Google staring in disdain at his adolescent son/brother, YouTube (shooting the bird with both hands).
Diane wants to win this contest because she believes her couch is not just ugly. It’s the ugliest. I find it such an odd goal I almost respect it. Vote here.
Ziddio is running amateur video contests where the payoff is cash and appearing on televisions via “video on demand.” When you arrive to the Ziddio homepage you’ll get an auto-load (yuck) video of LonelyGirl35 talking about how you can now do more than “purge your inner creative demons.” Two contests running now. Jedi and “clean…
This has no video angle, but it’s going around the blogs. Cute or freaky? The teddy bear thumb drive. Here’s the source- it’s homemade so don’t try to buy it (yet).
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…
YouTube yesterday released an iOS app since Apple is no longer including a default YouTube tool as part of the typical package. Writes the Washington Post: The move was seen as just one more knock on the wedge separating Apple and Google, especially as Apple is also releasing its own version of maps in this…
Google Video is rolling out some new features, including “instant gratification” uploading, and the ability to add comments, tags and ratings. Buried quietly in the “terms and conditions” (which you default accept if you don’t opt out in 5 days) is some language that suggests Google Video is preparing to give amateurs the ability to…

Cute. I found the very young twitterer a little odd considering (at least until recently) twitter is more popular with middle aged males than the tweens who seem to prefer the privacy of facebook.
Alexis,
You are using too much logic. Twitter is the young kid in the group and not as mature. 🙂
Oh OK, that makes sense.
Most of the tweens in my school use MySpace. They don’t like Facebook because it’s not customizable (i.e., they can’t gaud up their pages with wallpaper and other doo-dads). That is fortunate for us teachers, who prefer Facebook and prefer not to have students stumbling across our pages.
That’s interesting Marilyn. Down here, (at least in my experience as a tween) Facebook is by far the dominant social networking site. MySpace fell out of style maybe five or so years ago and in the rare event that it is discussed in tween conversation, it is usually mentioned derisively.
I’m wondering why deviantART was included in this ensemble. Maybe I just live under a rock, but it hasn’t even been on my radar. Does anybody else consider it a major player like YouTube or Wikipedia?
