I love it when I see odd patterns through varied stimuli, and here is the latest. I’ve done my best to relate these disperate thoughts, but I’m growing increasingly skeptical of my ability to communicate the connections I see. Still I’ll try, and it has implications on video discovery, how they’re classified, what can motivate…
I’ve seen YouTube’s power as a community, and occasionally it rallies on behalf of an individual or cause related to health. However I’ve yet to see a health community that’s truly powered by images and video (and involves patient-to-patient peer support leveraging webcams and the Internets).

It’s topping YouTube’s trending videos… Finally proof that, just like cows standing when we’re not watching, cats bark… in this rare and exclusive footage, a cat is caught barking… but then cleverly reverts to meowing as if nobody caught it. Well you’re busted, Mr. Whiskers. And you can tell your feline friends we’re onto them….
You’ve heard about online video, and you have a few extra large monitors (HDTV) that you aren’t using.

So the NextUp YouTube winners are in NYC right now… receiving loads of love from Google/YouTube. It made me happy seeing the next generation of amateurs… and to see that Google/YouTube still encourages them even while commercial content is on the rise on the world’s second-largest search engine. I was invited to speak to the…
Well it seems things are fine in TV Land. A recent study shows that TV ads beat the web in creating engagement (specifically by 38 gagillian times). And a previous study shows we don’t miss the ads we skip. Good news, media buyers! Get those bucks back on television. Next week: Print is alive!
Grant Crowell, one of our favoritest writers at our favoritest websites (ReelSEO), tackled the subject of online-video webstars and their sponsored videos. He interviewed Hitviews‘ Sam Levine. Check it out…
Uncle Newt told me last night that he’s running for president. He made a YouTube video about it too. I’ve added 3 embeds for the video below, and I recommend starting the second about 2 seconds after the first (then the third 2 seconds later). Let’s work side by side… side by side… side by…
