Want to send someone a holiday video right from Famed YouTubers like Geriatric1927 or Renetto? Coca-Cola is sponsoring a viral video “wishcast,” through which you can send a YouTube video (some are personalized by creators, and others are classic Coke ads).

I won’t ever remind you of when I’m wrong, but I will say I predicted in October that Metacafe would be sold by the end of this year. Looks like Yahoo could be a suiter according to TechCrunch. I’m going with “MetaHoo!” because YahooCafe sounds like something out of a bad Western.
I used to play a game with my kids. I’d tell them a bedtime story and stop. They’d have to finish the sentence. Then we’d take it in the direction they wanted.

Courtesy of the ReelPopBlog.com, here’s a Business Week article about Google’s efforts to keep networks and programmers from suing YouTube/Google. Here’s the funny thing. It’s the end of…
Revver 1.1 launches today. I’d cover it, but this guy from TheDailyReel did it with poetry I can’t match.
I’m going to have difficulty keeping up with the blog posts this week because I’m “on the lamb.” As some of you might have seen, YouTube founders Steven Chen and Chad Hurley kidnapped me in their basement. I was able to escape. Now I’ve warned my wife, and I’m going to keep away from my…
