Bridal Dog Wins Costume Contest at Readers Digest

6 Comments

Isn’t it true that the hard videos are never as popular as the easy ones. This video of Rusty and Triscuit (pets of babysitter of nalts) was viewed nearly 700,000 times on Yahoo Video. But my more recent video, “Confessions” was far more complicated, and has been seen 25K views. 

Well congratulations, sweet Rusty. You won the Readers’s Choice Award on Reader’s Digest.com!

And here’s your celebration video. Which was shot when Zipster decided to send Locomama to babysit our kids.

So that wraps up my 3-part series for Reader’s Digest. Thanks, RD! Do you suppose this will increase the odds that they accept one of my jokes or stories? I’ve been trying for more than 2 decades. 🙂

The Best of Cats on Skateboards (YouTube Advertising)

24 Comments

It’s the biggest myth of online-video advertising. If a brand advertises on YouTube it will appear with consumer-generated media that includes such content as cats on skateboarders. TVweek’s “New Media Minute,” hosted by Daisy Whitney, featured a recent interview with YouTube’s Jordan Hoffner to set the record straight (via WebVideoReport).

Here’s hoping Hoffner can laugh at the parody. I’m a YouTube Partner (paid content creator), but I didn’t monetize this puppy, Jordan.
