Today I speak about YouTube at the International Society for Humor Studies. If I don’t finish this post quickly I’m going to miss my flight from Newark to Boston. But I can’t tell you how incredibly excited I am to meet academics who study humor, and I’m perplexed this conference isn’t all over the news….
Check out this mother-load of social-media events and conferences compiled by JD Lasica (yes he’s alive and kicking, thank you). If it isn’t a complete list, then there are far too many damned social-media events. If it is complete, there are still too many damed social-media events. What’s clear to me is that it’s time…
Oh hush. What it lacks in humor it makes up for in timeliness. Let’s see you put an iPhone4G in your butt for the Internet. Or drive into the backyard of some crazy person so you can get near a cell phone tower. My favorite quote of Steve Jobs: .55 percent of iPhone4G users complained….
This video shows Hank Green (with his lesser known 3rd Green brother) announcing VidCon, taking place July 9-11, 2010 in Los Angeles, California. Here’s the official VidCon website.

It pains me to see so few views on YouTube for something this well written, acted and edited. It’s called “Font Conference” and it’s a great personification of the fonts we know so well.

I’ve written about YouTube gatherings before (here’s a previous post with a few of the websites devoted to gathering and meetups). On July12, YouTube community members will descend upon Philadelphia. For more information on this event, or to share information about your own event, please visit the new Ning group I established for gatherings. Here’s…
Your Uncle Nalts will be talking about viral video and marketing at the Yahoo! “Big Screen, Little Screen” event July 9 in Toronto, Canada. My topic is “The Secrets of Viral Video Marketing.” The funny part is that I was a late edition because Dan Ackerman Greenberg couldn’t make it. Seriously. I couldn’t make something…
It’s been quite a while since I bashed Break.com, and the site has earned new status in my mind. I usually passively review Break.com clips people pass me, but today I went on my own little hunt. I’ve since found this clip documented on Waxy.org (it’s Gary Kasparov, the chess grand master). I was pleasantly surprised to…
