Frequent WillVideoForFood contributor Mark Day landed a prominent feature on the homepage of AOL Uncut. This is the first time I’ve seen such a significant “carve out” for an amateur creator. Congrats, Mark. The comedy or bribes are paying off.
If you haven’t seen Mark’s work, it’s well worth it.
Mary Hoddler (Napsterization) collected some interesting stats during Friday's SuperNova event. Check them out here. Courtesy of Heather Green from Business Week Online. What she forgot to mention was that Chapter11TV just received 2nd round funding of $6.5 million from venture-capital firm Sequoia Capital (the firm behind YouTube.com). Watch out YouTube!
Australian native and California-based Mark Day gives crocodiles the abuse they deserve for never having finished off Steve Irwin (the Croc Hunter that sadly died from a sting ray this week). Day’s short comedic bits are funny, tasteless and timely. This one ends especially well and you’ll appreciate it unless you’re PETA, still getting over…
I've always maintained that web video can't be longer than 30 seconds to 2 minutes, but this 6-minute clip (Bus Uncle) provide otherwise- it will entertain you silly and you'll soon be quoting it.

Color me as surprised as the next person. They were rotating different “front page” content boxes and i was pleasantly surprised when this showed up one day last week. I was more surprised when it wasn’t rotate out the next day, and when it finally dissapeared (when the baseball guy flew into the building) I was very surprised when it came back a few days later. Aside from my obviously charming accent and incisive social commentary (ahem) I think it speaks to the value of thematic continuity between clips, bright yellow thumbnails and the much repeated maxim (at least around here) that it’s a lot easier to get spotted away from YouTube than on it.
p.s. I’ve since been ousted by pet videos. And at the end of the day, no one wins in a fight with pet videos…
