Sorry. I know it’s Friday, but we have a curriculum here. Given the slow holidays and snow days, I’m going to have to ask you to do some reading over the weekend. Read about Ashton Kutcher “using his brand as a syndication system.” Oy. Ashton, please punch your director of new media in the boob…
With mixed emotions I share with you the Cracked.com “7 Ballsiest Ways Anyone Ever Quit Their Job.” I fit nicely into #6 (before you co-workers with nudity). Some of my Merck colleagues still believe I got fired. The truth is left on decent terms, as the relationship became uncomfortable for both employer and employee. Once…
Believe it or not, I debated the headline of this post longer than you might imagine. I can’t sum this video up. It’s just your responsibility to watch it, and realize that… if my videos are chocolate flavored Doritos, ChurchofBlow’s are fine French meals, followed by a creme bruleee and an espresso. This is the guy…
Views of any of my videos appears inversely related to a) how much time I put into them, and b) how much I like them. This parody of CES (consumer electronics show in Las Vegas) took longer than expected, but I don’t like it. So maybe the forces will counteract. Interested in the “making of”…
{Update from 2013 reveals YouTube stars making $4 million plus per year} How much do YouTube stars make each year? Oh for goodness sakes. Just like my same 5 YouTube videos (see right column of channel page here) represent the majority of my online views… It seems that most of WillVideoForFood’s blog traffic comes from people…
Holy crap. Check out this former editor who’s gone all foaming-mouth, Huffington-like crazy about the digital impact on traditional media and publishing. Now sit down and read this, because you might just learn something important. Sit. Sittttt. Good boy. Richard Nash is the kind of guy that would either enthrall you over a 2nd martini…
One day during one of the west-coast YouTube events I got a call from one of my YouTube friends Eddie. He hates when I call him Eddie because he goes by TheMightyThor1212, and using the name Eddie might compromise national friggin’ security. Eddie knows I’m boo-hooing that I was missing the SanVegasFranAngelosDiegowhatever YouTube meetup and…
Honestly I don’t want to summarize this Speaker Text press release (via Tim Post) because it reads like a crisp short story (see Post’s writeup). I’d feel like I was Cliff Noting a classic and depriving you of the experience of reading about a company as if you were between chapters of a Grisham novel…
YouTube began in 2005 with a focus on community, but in recent years has logically put most of its energy into luring more viewers with frequency, becoming profitable, and attracting professional content and ads. So it’s refreshing to see the birth of “Creators’ Corner,” with has both a blog and a spot on YouTube. WillVideoForFood…
I’m not a regular CurrentTV checker, so thanks to Mark for alerting me to “Viral Video Film School” in the comments of my last post. He also recommended SuperNews on Current, and I was not disappointed with “The Christmas Bailout.” Below is a Brett Erlich video capturing 2009’s finest moments in the form of a quiz. You’ve heard…
