Google Hands Out $50 million checks to Media Companies to “Shut Up and Look the Other Way”

ByNalts

This post could be entirely fictitious, but it’s absolutely fascinating anyway. It’s a fantastic scenario that would explain how Google rationalized the $1.65 purchase of YouTube. The source? Mark Cuban’s anonymous but trusted source — who first posted this theory on the Pho List. Here’s how the saucy story goes: Google actually paid $1.15 billion…

The Attack of the Killer How-To Video Sites

ByNalts

Lately it’s “The Attack of the Killer How-To Videos Sites.” We’ve already seen ExpertVillage, Instructables, AOL’s How To, VideoJug, and of course YouTube’s How-To section. While uploading on TubeMogul.com this morning, I noticed three more sites that have surfaced. Most of these models depend exclusively on advertising revenue. While that’s a nice interim model for…

Advertisers Like “YouTube Safe” Content: So…

ByNalts

Advertisers like safe content, and it won’t be long before media buyers restrict certain YouTube ads to “safe” videos to protect their marketing clients and brands. So now that mama Google allows YouTube partners to note that the video is “safe” (no drugs, no violence, no sex, and no drugs), I’d urge you to code…

Another Great Site for Free, Royalty Free Music

ByNalts

The online-video community is in constant need for good, royalty free music that doesn’t cost money. Most of us don’t make enough on our videos to warrant paying a lot. And we’re all sick of the canned stuff that comes with the editing software. For a while, Kevin MacLeod of Incompetech.com had filled that void….

I Auditioned a New Family

ByNalts

I’m really getting excited about online-video “serialized storytelling,” but still experimenting with the content and delivery mechanism. By this I mean fewer one-hit wonders like Blackberry Crackberry, and more narratives in 1-3 minute “chunks.” The goal is to keep people in suspense and coming back. Of course it doesn’t happen easily unless you have loyal…

Barats & Bereta Return With 2nd Coming

ByNalts

Barats & Bereta, the most popular duo in viral video, are back. Here’s their latest video titled “The Other Son.” In this one, Barats (or Bereta) plays the role of God’s second son. I think it’s one of their finest videos since Mother’s Day because it’s hysterical and managed, I think, to avoid insulting Christianity….

  3. Ew, why is all the text in bold now?

    That’s amazingly accurate lip syncing if he’s not for real.

  5. He’s a good imitator and also a good singer.

    To fix the bold:

    Note: I’m putting HTML tags in (parentheses) instead of proper angle brackets so that your code doesn’t get screwed up even more.

    1. Cause: Somehow you have an extra (strong) tag after “Marc’s Band” with no closing (/strong) tag anywhere.

    2a. Solution A: Edit, regular (non-HTML) view, highlight:

    Marc’s Band

    Unbold it. If you wish, re-highlight and re-bold.

    If that doesn’t work:

    2b. Solution B: Edit, HTML view, delete the extra (strong) tag by changing:

    (p)(strong)Marc’s Band(/strong)(strong)(br /)

    to:

    (p)(strong)Marc’s Band(/strong)(br /)

    3. Rejoice! Grab whichever child is closest and give them a hug.*

    *Not if it isn’t one of your children, especially if you’re doing this on a mobile device while walking alone down a crowded Manhattan street during Outlaw Biker Gang Bring Your Daughter to Work Day.
