The Internet fame “arch” is short. It peaks quickly and drops as thunderously. But I didn’t need to tell you that, did I?
Exhibit A: Antoine Dodson. From obscurity to meme as “Bed Intruder Song,” but alas he’s now been arrested for marijuana possession and a series of driving infractions.
Amazon loves me. I’ll tell you how I know, and even show you the proof. You see Amazon recently differentiated itself with the Kindle “mayday” button that allows it direct contact. This is a sharp contrast from Google, where getting a human is like requesting the algorithm behind organic search rankings. Today I had my…
CCC. That’s what I call ’em. Others say “consumer generated media,” but open-source ads are a subset of CGM. So here’s Yahoo’s collection of volunteer ads. The grand prize is… um… there’s isn’t a prize. But you’ll win the hearts of Yahoo. So go for it. Best of all, you can send yourself a reminder…
Last week I wrote about our new hoverboard and gave you some tips to find the best one for the least money. Now that I’ve had a chance to acclimate myself to it, I thought it would be a good chance to read the owner’s manual. Typically I don’t notice owner’s manuals until I find…
YouTube “Partners” are contractually obliged to not disclose earnings from Google’s video-sharing property, but that didn’t stop #2 subscribed Ray William Johnson this week. On Thursday he told ReelSEO’s Jeremy Scott that his YouTube ad-share income over the past 12 months (March 2010-March 2011) has surpassed one million dollars. Johnson, one of few top YouTubers…
One of the great things about online video is that, for the most part, you can make a video go away. Recently I created a video called “Lay Me Off.” It featured me eating crayons, tossing wet kleenex and wearing a robe to meetings. I’m squishing bananas on my boss’s desk, pushing a guy’s tie…
Who’s cuter? Denver the guilty yellow lab (after eating cat treats) or the slow lori with an umbrella? They’re both “viral” sensations, as evidenced on Viral Video Chart. Three-four million views in just a few weeks, and we love ’em both (but Denver is our fav).

To be fair, some traffic tickets and a pot possession isn’t really much of a fall. I think these actions describe a pretty healthy percentage of Americans, Internet fame or no.
Nutcheese likes butter, but nobody knows that, because she’s TOTALLY ABANDONED THIS BLOG.
Good thing he was not vlogging while he was driving. Maybe he should get his own YouTube Channel. You should talk him into that Nalts!
I agree with Charlie Todd and Kiddsock.
I agree with, Charlie.
I agree with Kevin, Kevin
He’s climbing up the internet. He snatching your views up. Trying to take em – so ya’ll need to hide yo weed hide yo pipe.

Hahaha! I saw him in my bedroom window just this morning!
I am no sure about the shape of this Internet fame graph. Is it really an arch? Because it looks more like a rusty nail, sticking out of a wood chunk.
