I Am an Internet Superstar, so Bow to Me.

ByNalts

Read the blog’s masthead, friends. WillVideoforFood is about big ideas in video creation, new means of advertising and marketing, constructive debates via comments (even the ones about gymnast bulges), and the advancement of the “little guy.” But it’s also partially self promotion for this mythical beast named Nalts. There aren’t any ads on the blog, so…

God Has a Facebook

ByNalts

Barats & Bereta’s latest video… If God Had a Facebook. If online video hadn’t come along, the only people enjoying this would be their buddies, classmates and friends. If these two were as business savvy as they are comedic, they’d be rich already. Remember I’ve maintained that entire amateur (consumer generated) online-video market will be…

Is Soapbox a Zune? MSN Launches YouTube Competitor

ByNalts

It’s been in talks since September 2006, but MSN finally launched a public beta of SoapBox (source: DigitalTrends). Although MSN has about 10% of the search market (compared to Google and Yahoo’s combined share of more than 80%), it does have the advantage of being backed by the world’s largest software company. While the world…

Smirnoff’s “Tea Partay” Music Video

ByNalts

This is pretty funny. It’s Smirnoff’s viral ad featuring rich Northeastern guys rapping… in top siders and circa 1980 preppy clothes. Again- subtle with the branding so it will probably get viralicized. But not pretending to NOT be an ad. Good balance. Tea Partay by Prep-Unit Raw Tea Records Director: Julien Christian Lutz

Understanding “Fred,” the Squeaky-Voice YouTube Star

ByNalts

For weeks I’ve been perplexed by Fred, a squeaky-voice YouTube character played by Lucas Cruikshank (Fred’s real name). He caught my attention when I found him appearing in advertisements on my own videos. Lucas lives with 6 siblings in Nebraska, and has emerged as one of the fastest-growing YouTube personalities. I couldn’t understand the Fred…

  5. 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?

  7. 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?

  8. 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.

  12. 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!

    I think the only time Nalts is nervous is when he’s *not* in front of a camera!

  15. 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.

  21. Cool nalts =) gane check the most of your content on youtube tomorrow at work.. should keep me busy for a while 😀
    Best of luck

  23. 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.
