As long-time readers of WillVideoForFood.com may recall, I’ve been procrastinating a book about online video for longer than a pregnancy. I’ve been trying to find a co-author that can keep the piece on track, but obviously can’t afford a spiffy ghost writer.
In the meantime, it seems someone has beat me to the punch. CinemaTech author Scott Kirsner has written “The Future of Web Video” and is selling it on Lulu.com.
Thanks, Stalkerofnalts for pointing out this video. I heard Falcon Heene answer CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, but couldn’t make it out.

I was one of the most active Revver creators soon after the video site launched two years ago (see “Getting Rich on Revver“), and paved the way for ad-revenue sharing with creators.

Of course I have two excuses: a) nothing struck me as interesting enough, b) I couldn’t remember how to login to WordPress.

GE is taking a lightly branded approach to promoting health and wellness by sponsoring a “Healthymagination” challenge among people on YouTube. There’s very subtle branding…
Target’s Black Friday campaign staring Maria Bamford spawned loads of “word of mouth,” and captured AdAge’s attention by ranking #2 on the AdAge Viral Chart with more than 1.5 million views in a week.

Write your own book, dude!
