It’s a user-generated rock opera called “Hank The Evil Cowboy Alien Ninja and his Exploits Through Space and Time.” And it’s not to late to enjoy watching (and help create) the real-time collaborative storytelling spearheaded by Songatron’s Jonathan Mann (see his “TheRockCookieBottom” YouTube channel and learn about his own daily song mission here). He’s the creator…
It took hours, but I’ve compiled the definitive Twitter list of those hungry for web-tv and online video. In once click, you can follow reporters, CEOs, new-media gurus, events, groups, authors, techies, potentially some annoying vendors, select creators, speakers, experts… and, well, even me. It is, dear reader and confident, “The Coalition of the Willing”…
It’s time for a couple new articles to make you feel inferior to YouTube stars, who are attracting increasing attention by media for their alleged lucrative sponsorships and 6-figure advertising income via their YouTube fame.

Yeah that’s me as the press secretary for Tony Hayward. The accent is fake….
I’m on Clicker. Don’t know how I got there, but that means you can search for me using Clicker, and watch me on the giant monitor you call an HDTV. I even asked the peeps at Quicker if I could customize my “show” banner (below). So put down that laptop and join the 113 of…
It’s all the rage in Boston. While Video Guru Steve Garfield got his mom YouTubing in 2006, and New Media Evangelist Chris Brogan recently helped mom and dad launch their own web presence (MomPopPow). And they’re not alone. The latest data show that boomers don’t need a guru son or daughter to get started in social media….
