Someone Writes About Something Beside Google & YouTube
Can you believe this guy? He’s writing an article about 10 newsworthy events that aren’t related to Google/YouTube. Is it just me or does Steve look like Brad Pitt?

Lots of online-video community members struggling with YouTube becoming Hulu and going professional. This song (and the chorus) is a daunting reminder of the power of the community.
Understanding Online-Video Using SEM Analogies

A media buyer recently approached me to see if YouTube “stars” could beat .05 on a cost-per-view basis. It was such an odd question, and one that made me realize we’re still comparing apples to oranges. As I answered the question (yes, but…) I found myself drawing analogies to a more familiar digital medium: search…
“Screw With ZeFrank” Contest
ByNalts
A few of us have decided to do a “Screw with ZeFrank” contest. ZeFrank, as readers perhaps have noticed, doesn’t react to much in the blogosphere. He scans comments on his blog, and reads news headlines. He reads academic books. But he’s kinda a web introvert. Like Johnny Carson- big “on stage” presence but kept…

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…
Can a Librarian Enjoy a Fart Joke?

I recently received an e-mail from Martina Kominiarek, executive director of our county library system, regarding my candid-camera style “Farting in Public” video. Seems a library patron complained to her about the video, which has been viewed more than 1.7 million times on YouTube. You can imagine the sinking feeling I had when I received her e-mail (which…
Old Media On “Death March,” And YouTube is “Draconian”
ByNalts
We are highly amused by thoughts from former Disney CEO (Michael Eisner) at the recent NATPE event (see TubeFilter for more). Eisner is now CEO of The Torante Company, and its digital studio is called Vuguru. Very web 2.0 branding. He speaks about traditional media’s “death march,” and says YouTube’s revenue share “draconian.” But he also…

Nalts – I will assume you are not getting enough sleep? I can think of at least 3 reasons that this post is in poor taste.
As I hit send and got in my car, I thought about that. I even remembered the Steve Irwin moment (which I think you flagged). So you’re my designated taste editor. Sometimes I’m too edgy.
In this case, the joke was supposed to be on bashing Steve for reminding us that there’s other news besides YouTube/Google. What was supposed to come across was self-depricating humor depicting me as caring about nothing else and resenting anyone that does.
But it’s cleansed. At least two things are. Couldn’t find the third.
E-mail me the original.
Nevermind, found it. The original was better. I’ll punch him!
Kevin, you told us we need to get on the ball about making a video site, so I just made a test site! I hope you like it.
