I tend to be rather self critical, and focus more on the people better than me. So it was briefly comforting to see this VlogBrothers video where Hank celebrates being more popular than Oprah. Indeed, I too take some comfort in knowing that the queen of all media, for the moment, has fewer YouTube subscribers…
If you had asked me a year ago, I might have told you that comedy troupes would dominate the most-subscribed channels on YouTube. It’s a medium built for comedians that perform before audiences on a regular basis. They know what’s funny and what’s topical. The problem is that just as most stand-up comedians can’t do…
If you’ve watched a few horror movies, and screamed “don’t go outside to check things out, you idiot!” then you might find this short interactive zombie film worth some time. It’s got some gore, though. So I warned you. It’s called Survive the Outbreak, and you’ll make choices almost every minute — each leaving you…
Sometimes you have to bring those industry watchers off the bleachers and into the game. Here we see Daisy Whitney in her amateur-video debut… The Uninvisible Man. The TVWeek writer and host of New Media Minute was gracious enough to appear in this short video where I turn invisible… well at least I think I…
As you may know, we have two audiences for WillVideoforFood: Online-video industry advocates (agencies, bloggers, marketers, media). These people quietly graze for stories, but rarely interact. The online-video junkies and Nalts watchers. These folks are more active on the web, and usually keep this blog alive with a clever thread of comments– which is more…
I MUST know what you think of this Bill Gates and Seinfeld campaign. Please scan this short article on the Huffington Post, and watch the clips if you haven’t. Then comment below, but be specific. Why do you like or not like them? Then, and only then, are you allowed to peek at the “more”…
Readers Digest and I have had a long history together… We’ve spent many hours together (often on the loo, but that may be TMI). I used to explain that I subscribed to the mini magazine because I wanted to monitor the pharmaceutical advertising (it’s my day job… I gotta know who’s advertising). The truth is I…
Some of you aren’t regular YouTube viewers, but have loads of RSS (feeds) available via a reader. I use iGoogle as my reader, for instance, and I have a customized page loaded with RSS feeds from my favorite blogs and websites. Butterfly. If you prefer to get alerts for new videos that way, here’s a…
Yesterday my wife and I were finalizing our information for a financial counselor who will tell us that we’re too deep in debt, not saving enough, and have precious little buffer. So naturally I found myself humming this intro tune all morning. I shot half of this on the way in, and then wrote a…
I’m just proving that you don’t have to be Tina Fey (or LisaNova) to appear on CNN impersonating Sarah Palin. Yeah that’s me in drag (see Sarah Palin Exposed, which is almost at a half-million views). My parents are so proud. I usually don’t know my clips are going to be used on television until after…
