I don’t recall if I’ve ever announced that you can park your own free subdomain (username) at ofnalts.com, which you can “point” at any website or URL. It makes that complex YouTube video URL (or other long URLs) short, simple, memorable and pretty. I use it in lieu of TinyURL because I can link to…
When PR Pro Laura Hart (Beck Media & Marketing) contacted me in early August about how-to video site “Wonder How To,” she suggested a WVFF blog post on top video sites, and told me her client’s website had 145,000 videos. I was impressed with her pitch (she had bothered to read the blog), and promised…
The New York Times writes another “web video is a losing proposition” article, and boasts countless of examples of overbaked web series that lost their shirts. I think Squeegees is a perfect example of the problem with online video and monetization. Writes Brian Stelter: “Squeegees,” a 10-episode series by Stage 9 (a digital subsidiary of…
I’ll admit. As much as I laughed at LisaNova’s recent parody of Sarah Palin (Republican John McCain’s vice-president running mate), I also beat myself up. My own Sarah Palin spoof was done in haste as we rushed to visit the inlaws for Labor Day. So that gave me time for just one take, and sloppy…
Last night I was discussing with Cory (mrsafety) the concept of doing a video for the audience or yourself. We agreed that an enduring motive was making videos that pleased ourselves. But it’s worth noting that many of my favorite Nalts videos never went far — like this video below with about 12,000 views after…
This is a parody of a video that shows the effect LSD has on a spider’s web. Here we see what happens when a spider is given caffeine, marijuana, crack and alcohol.
There I was. Frustrated this morning after forgetting how I converted some of my old Windows Movie files (from the 1990s) into to something I could edit in Mac iMovie and post to YouTube. I’m running through various options, experimenting with various free software, and running into brick walls. Hours pass. Then I had this…
Last week I wrote one of my more seminal posts on the convergence of paid search and video. Those who comment on my blog, of course, are rather indifferent about these vital topics and would just prefer me to stick with such topics as farts and YouTube drama. Alas, I finally know how our summer…
Gnooze reports that people demonstrated this weekend to support a woman’s right to show their breasts in public. And there wasn’t a YouTube gathering there, why??? Warning- nudity and a shot of Marquisdejolie commenting about reading the constitution. She’s also really, really loud.
I’m in the process of positive change, and I deserve the best. That’s the mantra I’ve been citing this morning from my Louise Hay “You Can Heal Your Life“) book on tape. Go buy it via my my Amazon affiliate link, or get a gift card or some kind of crap like that. I’ve made…
