The Internet’s New “Viral Video Villain”

ByNalts

I’ve been called everything from a sellout to Satan (this video is the best hater video I’ve ever seen, and features me with a sign “Will Video for Souls” as I transform into Lucifer). So it gives me some relief to know that the online-video community has found a new Osama. His name is Dan…

Video Sponsorship Trends: “Cashing In” or “Selling Out”

ByNalts

I like this “Viral Video: Cashing In or Selling Out” by Jennifer Hollett (Canadian Globe & Mail), and not just because I’m featured in it. It’s actually a well-balanced view of the issues surrounding paid sponsorship and product placement. As you may know, there are two different ways to make money via online video. You…

Promoting Your Brand With Viral Video

ByNalts

I debated heavily before posting this, because this blog is supposed to be a review of the fun world of viral video and marketing (not an advertisement for my services). That being said, I think some of you readers may be interested in how I work with sponsors. As you know, I advocate that brands…

Hey, That Creepy Unibrow Songwriter on YouTube is Actually Weezer!

ByNalts

Rivers Cuomo, the lead singer and writer for rock band Weezer, is employing YouTubers to help him write a song in steps. The first step was the mood, the second was the title, the third was chord progression. Yesterday he posted this video about the arrangement. We give this effort an A plus for a creative…

Here’s a Texas journalist who is saddened by the idea. When I was interviewed by Fox after the program started in the US, the interviewers had…

  1. 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…

  2. Reubnick: I agree. I was afraid Chris Crocker would win. What the Buck is a good show and Chris Crocker is just a ham.

  3. 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.

  6. Your problem is that they don’t have a “best youtube drama” category. You would win that hands down.

  9. 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

    I suppose it’s a nice feeling for the winners, and that’s ok, and the votes certainly get you a little attention and probably more viewers, but what are the guidelines to get nominated in the first place?

    the whole process just seemed so grammar schooloolish to me.

    The thing I dislike about You Tube most is they treat and think the users and the viewing public are stupid.

    wait a minute… I voted. nevermind

  11. 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
