And we’re seeing some YouTube channels ranking consistently on YouTube’s most-viewed and most popular sections that are (how can I put…
What happens when you give funny car junkies (who happen to have their own television show called “Gear Head” on the BBC) the assignment to make a Volkswagen ad?

With more than 13,000 live viewers via the Internet, this would indeed make hair-transplant history. Dr. Alan Bauman, who you may know as SurgeonOfNalts, did the work……

Just discovered Vidque.com via Steve Garfield, and it’s another example of a site built to solve the fundamental problem for those of us that don’t live in online-video. What the hell do we watch? Since I just spent more than a couple hours navigating Vidque, creating a profile and critiquing it… you’d better f’ing read…
Television networks have had no more luck spawning, popularizing, or learning from online-video content than newspapers have had increasing circulation in recent years. But Fox 15 Gig has caught some online-video gurus’ attention, and UncleNalts has 7 magic tricks for you television and cable mavens who dare enter the shark-infested viral online-video watery… thing.
