The Huffington Post shows off the best viral videos by weekly running a YouTube Trends report and turning it into journalism… http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/04/23/watch-top-youtube-videos_n_852890.html Now we just need a YouTube amateur vlogger channel that summarizes the week’s most popular Huffington Post articles. And *boom* the Aol Video strategy is born. P.S. Post your worst videos below. It’s…
Okay let’s just get this out. I’m a big Google fan, user, and customer. I’m also making non-trivial income from Google’s YouTube Partner program (through ad sharing on my Nalts videos seen 200 million gazillian times). So I really hesitate commending the company in a post headline. It looks I’m friggin’ shilling incognito and I…
Okay we’ve had our fair share of SXSW footage, but this one is darned entertaining. And I’m not just saying that because my adult hero is David Meerman Scott.

It’s against some difficult competition this year (BP, Toyota), but I’m rooting for Best Buy to win the coveted Consumerist.com “Worst Company in America” (see brackets). Just scan the Consumerist archives for Best Buy and Geek Squad to see all the proof you’ll need. We honored the consumer-electronic megafirm with the dubious WillVideoForFood 2010 “Greatest…
Without bookmarks, RSS or e-mails, there are a few sites I remember and visit randomly. It’s usually because I’m bored or curious (but don’t know what I’m curious about). For instance, TechCrunch, Cheapskate, TheOnion, Google News, Yahoo Buzz. What are yours? On TechCrunch I found an article about Blekko, a search engine that avoids spam…
Who got better? Who got better at sucking? WatchMojo helps you out… if you were under a rock all year.
Well we did a recap on the worst corporate egreeting cards, so it’s only fair to share the winner of the 2010 WillVideoForFood Best Agency Holiday Greeting Video Award. I just made that award up, but it does come with a trophy and a piece of cheese. Courtesy of CNN I give you the Klick!…

The only daily vlogger who hunts GHOSTS Someone who is making multiple sclerosis “her bitch“ A dude who apparently drinks a lot of Red Bull and says…
