What do you get when you mash Sarah Silverman’s “I’m F’ing Matt Damon” with this recent AP News clip of Matt Damon droning about Sarah Palin’s character? This little video musica I’m calling “Sarah Palin is F’ing Matt Damon.” If you like it, it’s mine. If you were offended as a God-fearing Democrat or Republican,…
Wow how’s this for timing? I’m working with some other video creators on what I think will be a very fun and popular parody of video-game violence and legacy PSAs. I sent out a message to some fellow creators and I’ll give you the verbatim quote I used just moments ago: I can’t wait until…

If the folks at Twinkie sent me a crate of these timeless snack foods I’d make them part of my banner, and totally demote the piece of cheese. This is in honor of Jan, for her patience and persistence.

TubeMogul is giving online-video reators a profile page to showcase their work (see my Nalts profile). TubeMogul is now helping connect advertisers with popular and talented creators for ad sponsorships or custom-content development that would give brands broader access, street credibility, and a higher-impact exposure. I see this as far more profitable for video creators…
We’ve seen a spew of Internet weblebrities flounder as they tried to dive across the giant chasm between online-video and television. But we have our money on Michael Buckley (WhattheBuckShow), whose HBO deal was confirmed by Wired and Tilzy. You know it sucks being at the center of gossip, but the last blog that gets…
