Will My Real Google Plus Please Stand Up?
So I have this Google Plus that’s Kevin Nalts. Then I just found this one, and it’s linked with my YouTube account Nalts. So I was able to claim it as Google Plus Nalts. Then there’s this one for Kevin Nalty, which is somehow linked to my Facebook account or something. Which one am I…
Bag Designer Uses Video To Teach Counterfeiters
Saddleback leather founder Dave Munson is using YouTube to teach counterfeiters how to knock off his bags. The video is instructional, persuasive, sarcastic and funny. By showing how counterfeiters do and can save money (using lower quality leather, cheap stitching, inferior metal buckles), Saddleback manages to fortify its own high price point. The clip also…
First Amazon Human Contact. Meet Garth.
Amazon loves me. I’ll tell you how I know, and even show you the proof. You see Amazon recently differentiated itself with the Kindle “mayday” button that allows it direct contact.

Yes the Amtrak Chicago “Magic Piano” Video is FAKE
It’s a cute idea. A magic piano in a Chicago Amtrak station. As strangers walk by, a player-less piano starts changing its music to match the moment. The idea, well executed, would have made for a wonderful viral clip. Unfortunately the reactions were not those of innocent bystanders in a candid-camera style viral video. They’re…
