Online Video Reviews writes that Martin Sargent (Revision3’s Internet Superstar) is making a comeback. We like to think it was the star power of his guest last week, Nalts. Ironically Daisy Whitney, who I just fawned over yesterday, was the most recent guest. Marina Orlova (Hot for Words) also appears. Methinks someone in PR is … Continue reading Too Many Topics for a Headline

Hi! I’m Kevin Nalts and I’ve actually swam in diarrhea for fun! In fact, I do it often… Nah, I’m not actually Nalts; I’m some idiot he trusted to write a guest piece for his blog. Big mistake to trust Peter Coffin. So anyway, here’s something rather important: If you’ve been keeping up with the … Continue reading YouTube, Copyright & Ads: Big Media Waking Up?

Here’s an excerpt of a wonderful post on Cracked.com titled “YouTubers That Will Never Be Famous.” It’s an opportunity for me to “clear the air” about being a self-proclaimed “weblebrity” (which is, you see, rather distinct from being a celebrity). LONG post, here, folks but this one is jam-packed with delicious goodness. The internet is a big … Continue reading Long-Tail Celebrities Won’t Get Famous and May Not Care
ZackScott, one of my favorite fearless video creators, returns for a guest blog post about winning a recent Xlntads ProQuo contest (disclaimer: Zack and I both contribute to Xlntads as members of a “creative advisor board, and he wins contests while I think about them).
