Meet Evan Spiridellis of Jibjab Media (Via Knestor, the Smart Borat)

ByNalts

Knestor, the smart-man’s Borat, is the awkwardly intelligent alter ego of Jim Meskimen. Jim is that voice you’ve heard as just about every political figure on JibJab’s celebrated animations, and he’s been the subject of countless blog posts here. So it’s a delight to see the bow-tie, tweed jacket wearing faux Brit interviewing the very real Evan…

Top 10 Online-Video Predictions for 2007

ByNalts

I pulled out my crystal ball this morning, and I’m predicting the most significant online-video highlights of 2007. I’ll be citing these selectively at the end of 2007 (only those in which I was right). Okay I didn’t use a crystal ball. This video tells a better story about the process I used to arrive…

At today’s iMediaConnection “Breakthrough Summit” in Vegas, Hitwise’s Bill Tancer (ilovedata.com) told hundreds of leading marketers about three trends based on research of “early adopters.” Tancer will release the data this week on his blog, but here’s what matters: Tancer developed three classifications of “early adopters,” in part by isolating the people who began using…

Why Do I Keep Seeing the Same Ad on YouTube?

ByNalts

Are you noticing the same ads chasing you on YouTube and other blogs? For me it’s these Keurig ads that seem to be constantly becoming. If you haven’t experienced this, turn on cookies, turn off your egregious ad blockers (stalkerofnalts), and visit the CafePress Nalts store. With luck, you’ll find ads by CafePress surfacing everywhere. Why? Google owns…

  5. Sukatra – Short answer: not really

    Long answer: It was a one-hour show dedicated to tracking down the people who shot and posted some viral videos. In one hour, they showed maybe 5 viral videos.

    In typical network fashion, they covered very little. I’m guessing here, but it was about:

    4.99% telling you what the show is about and that there’s video on the internet
    20% setup of the stories by the host with silly graphics and special effects
    10% non-interview story background
    5% clips from viral videos
    10% interviews
    20% commercials
    30% transitions into and out of commercials: teasers of what’s to come and recaps of what you just saw before they went to commercial
    .01% Nalts

    The best part (other than the shot of Nalts) was when they talked about the survey they had on their site of which video the public wanted to learn more about. The public spoke, and they spent about 10 seconds giving you a short synopsis.

  11. Nalts, when are you going to start stickin’ it to the man that controls traditional media? High time you updated the themes in the film, “Network.” You are mad as hell, and you’re not going to take it anymore, At least that’s what wifeofnalts said to me on 7-7-7.

  12. Oh maybe I should start antagonizing “old media.” That would endear me to Lauren Michaels and stuff. Hey- does ANYONE have a copy of that iCaught?

    Marquis- I love your response to my teeth reference. Be real- you weren’t watching my videos. You picked it up in a tag.
