The coolest thing about marketers are the titles they give their books. Common, right? They’re marketers. What do you expect? “The Old Rules of Marketing Are Dead,” by Timothy R. Pearson, was released today and is already the business best-seller on Amazon. Fine- don’t buy it. Just keep doing the old stuff, and at least…
Shira Lazar interviewed Daneboe, creator of Annoying Orange. She even has her face placed on an orange, which is totally going beyond the realm of appropriate journalism. Then again, the new host of “Partners Project” has been a character on the show before (Peach).
Knestor, the smart-man’s Borat, is the awkwardly intelligent alter ego of Jim Meskimen. Jim is that voice you’ve heard as just about every political figure on JibJab’s celebrated animations, and he’s been the subject of countless blog posts here. So it’s a delight to see the bow-tie, tweed jacket wearing faux Brit interviewing the very real Evan…
Here’s Kassemg, who I didn’t know about until TheStation was born months ago. Watch him interview these folks in “Best of California On,” and enjoy the awkward tension. And when you get to the frame below… I dare you not to think of his “Jew-nosed” ugly girl in Teen Cribs. Need more? See his YouTube Channel…
You know who you should have on your show, Oprah? Hank and John of Vlogbrothers, who became popular when they communicated for a year strictly through alternating “video blogs” (vlogs).

Billy Bob Thorton gets angry at a Canadian interviewer and tension is in the air.
Patton Oswalt likes to look at nut sacks of old men. See for yourself on Rabbit Bites. Patton, of course, only did Rabbit Bites because I did a year ago (I’m a trend setter. I’ll bet Oswalt doesn’t do “Internet Superstar” until Aug 2009).
“People like to look at themselves,” JibJab co-creator Gregg Spiridellis told fans last night to explain the appeal of JibJab Sendables — one of just a few cash-makers for the company that spawned several of the most viral video animations ever. Gregg and his brother Evan said it the live show with fans was the “coolest interview”…
Camcorder Info did a profile on me recently. I like the site and its resources, except for one thing. The beautiful ads with shiny new camcorder toys that make me want to drive myself deeper and deeper into debt. So lovely. So shiny. My precious.
I was interviewed Friday by a major U.S. television network on the subject of online video, and caught some footage of the reporter’s loaded questions and biased reporting. You’ll hear how he tries to shape the discussion to confirm his own belief that online video is crap, and that big media will continue its reign….
