Stupid YouTube Awards
Oh I’m not going to read this, but feel free to summarize it in the comments. It’s a CNN report about the viral video winners, and I’m not among them. Not that I’m jealous or anything.

Here’s a beefy Mercury News article about online video, with an emphasis on YouTube and its long journey toward profitability. It confirms that the YouTube folks are indeed thinking it would be good to make money, but are (in my opinion) way too paranoid about losing their cult-like appeal. Read my letter to YouTube’s founders to get…

What’s the fine line between marketing your video and cheating? Comotion Group cofounder Dan Ackerman Greenberg certainly dances along that gray area between marketing and cheating. In this self aggrandizing article on TechCrunch, Greenberg boasts about how he’s getting clients views (thanks to InsideVideo for helping me find this one). His techniques fall into three…
ZeFrank (ZeFrank show) has become part of my daily ritual. Addicting but the side effects are minimal. And he’s the Jon Stewart for a generation of ADHD video viewers… we want it quick, funny and ad-free. In today’s edition, he pokes fun at YouTube for its new policy on ownership of content.
Calling all tech-savvy entrepreneurs. There’s an unmet need among us online-video nerds. We spend hour submitting to multiple sites, and it’s quite time consuming and tedious.

all I have to say is THANK GOD that Chris Crocker lost to Michael Buckley.
I would have won the best catchphrase category, if there was one…
Reubnick: I agree. I was afraid Chris Crocker would win. What the Buck is a good show and Chris Crocker is just a ham.
What did Charlie say when he couldn’t get the computer to work awhile back? “Suped peter!” That’s what I’ve got to say about the YT awards.
Chawklit Rain!!!! <—- I actually like that! The commercial wasn’t bad either with the squirrel cameo.
Here’s a summary of the youtube winners: It was a summary of who won. Anyone want to summarize this?
There was a contest?

I nalts the other day I caught up with Yahoo video awards.http://www.urbanread.com/news/winners-yahoo-video-awards
The awards are human voted I suppose.
Define ‘human.’
the whole setup sounded like mob rule to me.
I like MB and he’s a nice guy so I voted for him, but the ep they picked wasn’t really his best, and what is the criteria to be nominated anyway? who picked the candidates in the first place and based on what? I didn’t watch any of the others, well, except crocker

the whole process just seemed so grammar schooloolish to me.

wait a minute… I voted. nevermind
The nominations are very revealing about the personality of the Youtube employee who chose them.
I wondered about that, surly there has to be more to it than Seth and Trisha’s favorite videos on the Employee’s wall at the Blockbusters
No need to be surly about it, surely. And quit calling me Shirley.
