Has-Been YouTuber Desperate Grasps for Attention: Pole Dancing, Eating Worm
I’m all about dignity today, folks. From this video on HBOLabs’ “Hooking Up” to my “Ear Worm” (now called MySpace because Jan said it would make it more popular).
I’m, Like, The 36th Most Famous Internet Guy
Yeah but don’t take my word for it. Check iStardom. I guess the rankings are based on YouTube and MySpace (which unfortunately is a site I ignore). I’m just so glad to se that fatty photo from the YouTube gathering in 7/7/7. Getting it off my Wikipedia page is like trying to get rid of…
Viral Video Case Studies… and cute dog costumes
I’ve developed a fairly comprehensive list of my sponsored videos, and the case studies surrounding them. See this page on kevinnalts.com to review the brand goals and see the videos. I’m glad to have a TubeMogul profile so potential clients can see accurate, real-time details about my views and demographics (see chart below). My most…
Sarah Palin to Provide “Cringer” Quotes during Vice President Debate. Video Parodies Begin to Stew.
Well it’s time to ready the cameras for the inevitable parade of Sarah Palin parodies based on tonight’s Vice President Debate! We’re having friends over, and I’ve already purchased 16 Sarah-Palin paper masks (and only 8 Biden ones, as I don’t expect them to be as popular). What’s going to be the great Sarah Palin quote…
Tilzy.tv Journalist Jamison Tilzner Gets Right to the Facts
A lot of journalists will let their subjects wander aimlessly about a story. But you have to give Jamison Tilzner, of Tilzy.tv, kudos for getting right to the story. As “Hooking Up” writer Woody Tondorf waxes poetically about some of the second-rate YouTube weblebrities appearing in the HBOLabs web series (which is now featured on…
Maria Sansone Made me a Yellow Pages Video
So in this recent video discussing amateur versus pro content, I mentioned Maria Sanson. “Maria Sanson… she could read the yellow pages and it would amuse us.” Showing that someone has either read “How to Get Popular on YouTube Without Any Talent” or is a quick learner, Sanson replies almost immediately with this piece. Stay…
I’m More Popular Than Oprah (on YouTube)
I tend to be rather self critical, and focus more on the people better than me. So it was briefly comforting to see this VlogBrothers video where Hank celebrates being more popular than Oprah. Indeed, I too take some comfort in knowing that the queen of all media, for the moment, has fewer YouTube subscribers…
The Uninvisible Man (with Daisy Whitney)
Sometimes you have to bring those industry watchers off the bleachers and into the game. Here we see Daisy Whitney in her amateur-video debut… The Uninvisible Man. The TVWeek writer and host of New Media Minute was gracious enough to appear in this short video where I turn invisible… well at least I think I…
Readers Digest Saved Me from Video Drought
Readers Digest and I have had a long history together… We’ve spent many hours together (often on the loo, but that may be TMI). I used to explain that I subscribed to the mini magazine because I wanted to monitor the pharmaceutical advertising (it’s my day job… I gotta know who’s advertising). The truth is I…
You Don’t Have to Be Tina Fey to Get on CNN as Sarah Palin
I’m just proving that you don’t have to be Tina Fey (or LisaNova) to appear on CNN impersonating Sarah Palin. Yeah that’s me in drag (see Sarah Palin Exposed, which is almost at a half-million views). My parents are so proud. I usually don’t know my clips are going to be used on television until after…
