Internet People: The Best of Viral Videos

ByNalts

Dan Meth produced “Internet People,” an incredibly satisfying recap of some of the finest moments in online video. From Numa Numa to “Dick in a Box,” and all of the little moments in between. Misses a few highlights (like Pearl and Nalts) but it’s pretty comprehensive and entertaining. If you’ve come late to the online-video…

Bubble Bursting for Video Creators Hoping to Monetize Content?

ByNalts

Online-video creators are sobering up after an intoxicated 2007, as they realize that the “road to riches” via online video is fraught with challenges. Business Week proclaimed “amateur video hour” as over in December. Crackle and other sites migrated from UGC (user-generated content) some time ago. And here are some quite recent data points that,…

Anti-Drug Ads on YouTube (Go Over Like Fart in Church)

ByNalts

The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) has posted an identity on YouTube a dozen videos including anti-drug commercials. Seems they’ve gone over like a fart in church. Some love them, but most don’t. For instance, this video “Flat,” received 270 ratings at average one star (the lowest possible rating). I’ve never…

  2. Congrats to Freddy? XD I got one of those e-mails last week or something like that … so I signed up and monetized a few videos. I don’t think that it’s full-blown partnership … but then again, I have a ton of videos …

  3. I swear, if I see, or hear, the word MONETIZE again, I’m going to inflict physical harm on someone. It’s as annoying as “incentivize.” Grammar people. PLEASE. Now that that’s out of the way, I definitely think Freddy has more talent than most of the current partners. Be scared, Shaycarl. Be very scared.

  4. You Tube is going to the dogs…it kinda seems like it became too easy or something even though I haven’t hit it big… it seems like before partners the channels had to be very creative to make money and then when partners first began you had to be a real comedian…You Tube used to be full of wackos and crazies…now its all la…deee…da…are we just too focused on our own interest now? I mean is it too late to hit the wider audience with a video for everyone? You know something that is so crazy that everyone must see it and it is community and it is a riot…

  6. This is not a partnership. We talked about this before. You get to share ad revenue, but you don’t get the branding perks and stuff associated with being an actual partner. I got one of those emails a couple months ago and am earning a few pennies, but YouTube rejected my partner application.
