So I’ve made the finals of this Valleywag poll. Can you spare a vote? I think it would be really funny if I won because, well, I’m not hot. Shhh. Don’t tell my wife. I think I have her fooled. No need to acknowledge whether I’m not or not. I’d prefer awkward silence. Oh- and…
YouTube recently launched a new feature where new members have the option to subscribe to featured creators. YouTube provides the video creator with an e-mail alert, and many creators have decided to create “welcome to YouTube” videos. None have been as funny as this parody done by one of my favorite online creators, ZackScott. Zack…
The Happyslip stapler (and headshot) I “stole” from her apartment has fetched $872.00 on eBay to benefit CanineLifeline.org. Congratulations to Johni D, a Canadian collector of autographed head shots. I hope he doesn’t toss the stapler! More importantly, thanks to HappySlip for sharing her likeness to benefit animal rescue. Here’s the video of the stapler…
I’ve sent a fair number of my online videos to networks but rarely ever see them air. Fortunately someone caught this BBC report about Blackberry Addiction, and tossed it on YouTube. It includes random clips from my Crackberry Blackberry. It’s really funny to see my stupid parody contrasted with English commentary about how Blackberrys impair…
The Four A’s Media Conference (AAAA) in Las Vegas is ending today, and MediaPost has some interesting video interviews with some VIPs of whom I’ve never heard. Man these guys are old to be talking about innovative media. I mean, I’m past my prime. But these guys make me feel like Smosh.
TheDailyReel has four episodes of its new podcast by the irresistible Felicia Williams. Check ’em out and see if you can spot Nalts in the YouTube “As One” event.
Wall Street Journal writer Walter S. Mossberg writes today about the world beyond YouTube. Says Mossberg, “…YouTube is sometimes seen as synonymous with the Internet video revolution, there is a lot more to Web video. In fact, some of the most interesting video on the Web isn’t even the type of stuff that’s most popular on…
According to “Always On,” MIT’s Henry Jenkins says that the success of YouTube is from the “creation of content around communities of interest.” It’s not voyeurism and xhibitionism, he says. Or individual self display or expression. And social networking, says Jenkins, is here to stay. In this short BeetTV clip, Jenkins talks about online video, and the…
There was part of me that wanted to send you to Infinite Solutions without revealing it as a hoax. It’s much funnier that way. But I didn’t want to be responsible for any readers beating their head against the wall trying these video tutorial tips out. Mark Erickson provides fascinating technology tips that don’t really…
Regular WillVideoforFood poster, Liam Gooding, has created a site dedicated to fights. It’s called Fight-Vids, and he’s got a blog on the subject as well. Mind you I haven’t watched all of his videos and I avoid fights because they generally hurt (“I’m not like other people- I don’t like pain”*). That said, I suppose…
