NewTeeVee editor Craig Rubens interviewed me last night, and quickly turned around this thorough piece titled the “Dao of Nalts.” Everything you never wanted to know.
I credit to him for understanding anything I was saying after 4 vodka tonics. 🙂
Want to watch shows from MTV, Comedy Central or Spike via broadband? Want to check out Paramount movies? Then you’ll need to switch from YouTube to Joost. No sooner did Viacom order YouTube to pull content, they’ve licensed hundreds of hours of content to Joost, a start-up formed by the founders of Kazaa and Skype (see Wall Street Journal)….
In a move so brilliantly self promotional that I myself am in awe, TubeMogul ranked the top 40 most-viewed users. This is a delicious marketing tactic because (a) we popularity whores cannot resist bragging rights on this, and (b) if you want to pull a “whose your daddy” on me, you have to use TubeMogul….
Daisy Whitney gave two examples of companies shifting from a free to paid model. I agree that “training the customers early to pay” is good advice, but I also like other model… give it away for free, then offer meaningful upsells. For instance, I’d probably pay for Tubemogul because it saves me the hassle of…
PepsiCo is offering a million dollars to the best consumer-created 30-second spot, which will air during the Superbowl. The “Crash the Superbowl” campaign. Five finalists will receive $25,000 and a trip to the Superbowl. Should you enter? Sure if you’ve got a killer idea, and are prepared for stiff competition. While many contests languish, these…
TubeMogul’s blog did a nice summary of the online-video sites it feeds, and provides user feedback about the site and monetization status (whether you can make money on the sites). You can also read the “Zagat’s”-like report as a PDF. Thanks to Mark from TubeMogul for bringing this to our attention.
Tuesdays suck. Why? It's the worst day to check videos. For reasons I can't quite explain, people do more on e-mail and the web on Tuesdays. It's been a long-standing "secret" that promotional e-mails get the best "open rates" on Tuesdays. My CubeBreak traffic spikes on Tuesdays. Even this blog spikes on Tuesdays. But all…

Raw Nalty?
How long till we see that in Sushi bars ?
“…the book is still in the outline phase but his blog profile encourages readers “to nag him to complete the first draft.””
Hey, Kevin when you finish that first draft can you take out the garbage?
Book? There’s a book? I’m still trying to figure out when you find time to brush your teeth!
Nice piece.
BOOK…. must write book
I’ve seen Nalty after four vodka tonics… He thought he was superman and tried to fly around the restaurant.
PC- forgot about that. Thank goodness we didn’t have cameras rolling.
Four vodka tonics at a BUSINESS dinner? Man, I want your job!
You know, I did remind you about that book last month. Shame, shame! I just had a short story published in a collection. Go buy it! It is called; “Rover, Get Off Her Leg!” I think you will like it. My story is about my daughter. During potty training, I was also litter-box training my dachshunds. Do you see where this is going???
Anywho, have a great weekend!
Business dinner my ass!! You were out with Nut and Diana! You slut!
Congrats on the great article Kevin! Right, do the book, keep your epi pen with you, pick up your brother from the airport in a crazy disguise, tote around Nutcheese and Princess Diana around Philly, and you know..family and job and stuff. 🙂 You must be pretty darn good at time managment, or else Jo is.
Thank goodness you didn’t have the cameras rolling? Man, I would’ve payed to see that.
there is one photograph… i will have to find it.
Time management. That’s something I’ve been meaning on getting better at. When I have the time. Fortunately Jo keeps our household from exploding.
