Only “Moron” Will Buy YouTube, Which is “Going to Be Toasted”
ByNalts
Billionaire investor and dot-com legend Mark Cuban said only a “moron” would purchase YouTube, and that the online video site is “going to be toasted.” Read the article at YahooNews. Or Reuters. Obviously Cuban got the idea from my YouTube rant. During this clip that I’m still hawking in every other post, I urge YouTube…

Dear Stupid Marketer and Your Clueless Agency
ByNalts
“Dear Stupid Marketer and Your Clueless Agency” was my original title for this article in Advertising Age. Fortunately I tamed it down given the audience. But hopefully a few folks will read it and overcome the myriad of myths about online video and marketing. If I can just change one clueless agency or stupid marketer,…
Are Your Videos DO Belong to Us (YouTube)?
ByNalts
Thanks to Joe Chapuis (WebVideoZone) for pointing this Boing Boing report out. It appears that the language around YouTube’s ownership of your content is getting a little tighter. Fortunately, they’re not trying to go for “exclusives.” Here’s a Boing Boing post by David Gulbransen that reminds us that a) we can always yank our videos,…

YouTube Celebrities are “Hot Properties”
ByNalts
Just what some of the popular personalities on YouTube needed. The NYTimes is calling them “hot properties,” and providing examples of some YouTube “weblebrities” getting courted by other sites. Indeed there’s been at least one example of this with Smosh, a creator who was paid to move from YouTube (where he still posts) to LiveVideo….
YouTube Launches Pay-Per-View Ads
ByNalts
Advertisers on YouTube now have an option where they only pay when a viewer engages with the pre-roll ad. It’s a bold way to get digital marketers to move confidently into the medium since, like Google Paid Search, it’s more accountable. Here’s the YouTube blog post about this new format called “True View.” Since most…
Your Viral Video Shouldn’t Be a Commercial (Celebrity Apprentice Lesson)
ByNalts
Perhaps you watched Celebrity Apprentice last night, where the b-listers teamed up to create a “viral” video for O-Cedar’s ProMist Spray Mop. Note that I put “viral” in quotes since it’s not a viral video unless it goes viral. For that matter, let’s call it what it is: try-ral. It’s trying. It may go viral,…

I wish we had fox… When’s your bbc thinggy gunna be on? I’m scared to miss it.
ha! good job!
He’s everywhere! He’s everywhere! ( a “Chickenman” radio show reference)
( see “chickenman.us/” with the htp thingee in front)
hey, that’s the same blazer and shirt as the happyslip video… did you go to new york from PA to record for Fox Friends Philadelphia?
Ace!!!!
Whats this mention of a BBC appearance?
I’m not trying to start a whole Fox News is biased debate, but I’m used to news shows where reporters and anchormen do not give their own personal opinion during news and interviews. It was kind of weird for them to start off the report/interview saying that they think it’s bad for YouTube to be sharing in ad revenue.
Also, how were you not nervous?
Yes, he’s right. Just before bringing you on telling us that they think people shouldn’t get paid for their videos then introducing you, it was a bit out of order.
It would of been ace if you had said, “before we start I think newsreaders shouldn’t get paid for reading the news…”
Haheeeey.
If it helps any, the newscasters write their own texts. 🙂 For the most part, at least.
tripplehelix – Be thankful that you don’t have Fox. Really, just trust me on this one.
Nalts looks like a young John Lithgow in that fox photo
What’s up with the female reporter saying “i don’t think they should get paid”! ha… how about you do your reporting for free, bit**! lol… anyway, congrats on the news bit!
ZachScott said: “Also, how were you not nervous?”
I think the only time Nalts is nervous is when he’s *not* in front of a camera!
Tragically, Fox News Philly does not enable comments, so that we can post “good natured abuse” against Nalts-on-the-telly…
Nalts looks like a fat, young John Lithgow.
Woodblock you’re right. That’s why I’m never without a camera.
Mark- feel free to keep the abuse here.
Trip/marquis- my favorite part of the day is reading your posts.
Oh- and PC. YES I shot them both in the same day- morning in Philly and afternoon and evening in NYC. In fact, I’m terrified because there were some lunatics making a video on Times Square and I got on camera. They were women wearing rockets between their legs and protesting the war.
You accidentally stumbled into someone else’s video? Now that’s a switch!
Actually the Missile Dick Chicks (their actual name) were out demonstrating in favor of the war. Way to jump on the most popular bandwagon, Nalts.
That’s fake.
You have to work in an URL during your appearance.
So you didn’t try and get a part in their video? Is this a first?
Cool nalts =) gane check the most of your content on youtube tomorrow at work.. should keep me busy for a while 😀
Best of luck
ha ha ha
We all have been betrayed since 1950. Now its “payback time” Trust me on this one. As a country, we are running out of gas. Yes, maybe just fumes. Who’s fault is this? Answer: Washington D.C.
