It’s titled “Lessons Learned From YouTube’s $300 Million Hole.” Hank observes the success rate of the YouTube creator grants, and how most of the channels failed. Go read it. What do you think?…
Why Are Ray William Johnson and Maker Studio Separating?
Why is YouTube’s most subscribed creator, Ray William Johnson, planning to separate from the largest online-video studios (OVC definition)? In perhaps the most interesting online-video news of 2012, the YouTube personality announced this week that he would be splitting from Maker Studios.

Evolving Video Search: Value of Human Categorization
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.

Thanks for the Book Plug, Rhett & Link, Shaycarl and Others
While I’m blogging about people who read my Beyond Viral book, I’d like to thank Rhett & Link for the product placement. Aren’t they cute?

@2 ^works for me
It’s no wonder you have so much credit card debt.
That’s just my way of saying I’m jealous.
@8
Meh, I must be lying.
@10 nice leap 😉
@9 So glad I could get the debt reminder while we’re spending away. The resort/airfare wasn’t bad, but you gotta stay out the Bermudian grocery stores.
What the fuck is up with that Jim Edwards? You want we should roll his car while you’re on vacation? Just say the word, Nalts, and your back row will have his hide.
