ViralVideoWannaBe (aka fallofautumndistro) is offering 3 copies of his YouTube book if you sign up to his e-mail… I’m mentioned in the book, and if you read it, you’re guaranteed to be an instant YouTube celebrity I think. I’m not really sure. I kinda scanned it.
A new YouTube documentary, “Please Subscribe” debuts in February, and another titled “I’m Vlogging Here” is fundraising for its coming production. Dani Dobi’s “Please Subscribe” features YouTube vlogger Wheezy Waiter, Joe Penna (MysteryGuitarMan) and dozens more. See the “Please Subscribe” trailer here. YouTube weblebrity ShayCarl (Shay Butler) is joining Corey Vidal in “I’m Vlogging Here,” documentary that…
Here’s a piece I wrote for iMediaConnection about measuring and communicating social media. My key point is that a) it IS measurable, and b) it needs to be tied to things that matter for various stakeholders: marketing, PR, advertising, executives.
I heard rumors that MTV isn’t going to renew College Humor, but I quite like the Pranked show staring Amir Blumenfeld and Streeter Siedell (haven’t these guys heard of friggin’ stage names)? The College Humor brand is strong, and the web content is exceptional. But for reasons I can’t explain, this stuff doesn’t transfer to…
Marketing Consultant Toby Bloomberg (Marketing Diva Blog) is hosting a radio/podcast show on the topic of YouTube as a marketing channel. It’s live tomorrow night (Tuesday, 6:30 PM EST). I’ll be a guest along with Ben Relles, creator of the wildly viral “I Got a Crush on Obama” and Barely Political. Here are the details:…
Fast Company’s November issue takes on the subject of online influencers, with prominent features of YouTubers, iJustine and MysteryGuitarMan. The piece provided some nice insights into the “going rate” of a weblebrity/webstar… mid-high six figure incomes with $20-$50K per sponsored videos. Sustainable? Techcrunch took objection to the piece and brought it out back for a…
Here’s the archive podcast of the Blog Talk Radio show I did with Toby Bloomberg and Ben Relles (read more). Ben’s story about “I Have a Crush on Obama” is always interesting. And maybe you’ll learn a few things about how brands can harness the power of YouTube. Here’s the Diva Marketing Blog description of…

Thanks Kevin. I’ll send you the audio book version for those long rides in to the office that only YouTube wannabe celebrities have to endure. 😉
Kevin make a video
I saw a new book on YouTube on Amazon, “YouTube: Online Video and Participatory Culture” by by Jean Burgess, and Joshua Green.

Major surgery makes making videos seem super silly. Give him time.
@4 shut up
Kevin make a video.
oh, wait, school… yeah.
@5
Fuck off. You don’t know what blood boogers does to one’s psyche.
It’s your life, Kevin.
I feel a Christmasey sorta lovin’ on these comments. Warms ya right up.
I should sign up. I like Alan, he’s a smart fellow. Plus, I can always use more reading material.
On an unrelated note, why are so many people still upset about “octomom” Nadya Suleman? Yeah, she’s got a bajillion kids. Yeah, she’s living off disability. Sure, we’re all paying a small percentage of her family’s expenses while she gets cosmetic surgeries and hires a nanny with a $2000 monthly salary. But seriously, at least she’s a real person. We just gave $800 billion dollars out to businesses who most everyone agrees are responsible for the economic nightmare the US is in, and barely anyone’s batting an eye. What gives?
1. I agree with somecallmejim.
2. make a new video kevin.
3. marquis, I do not know what a blood booger is, but I assume it’s associated with that tumor that just got took out. Hope you don’t get any more of those.
4. marquis, not to pry (well, in fact to pry), what is the plan following your surgery if you don’t mind telling us?
@8
Short term: keep my mom and sister away from my painkillers.
Long term: more surgery, lose weight, stop smoking, bury sis, bury mom, move to Dallas. Or something like that. Why?
P.S.
Short short term: get this skull bra off my head. I look like Baby Huey.
I read it when it first came out, I think I need to rescan certain parts to see if more stuff sinks in.
holy crap it’s February 20th already?
@6 whoa hang on, he’s a kid, watch the language or his mom will call your mom.
@7 she didn’t have plastic surgery, but I don’t know why they are picking and hating on this women.I bet there are a few women out there that have had at least 14 abortions, maybe more. If the feds want to regulate the medical implantation industry fine by me, but once implanted… it’s her uterus.. I do agree with your sentiments on the bank bailout and my solution is, eat the rich.

@8 #3 agree!
Yup, this February went by superfast…
Nalts, ViralVideoWannaBe sounds like a weak parody of ViralVideoGenius, why don’t I see your books flying around? “YouTube for Dummies”? “YouTube: Quick and Dirty”?
@11
1. that skull bra braw makes you look sexy, and you KNOW that’s saying a lot.
2. May we safely assume there was no malignancy? that there will be no radiation/chemo?
3. I know I’m nosy, but I worry for people I care about, even the curmudgeonsly ones, you old bastard.
@15
1. When did you go soft?
2. No malignancy, the doctor claims.
3. If you want to worry about something, the antibiotics are not handling the infection. So far.
@16
Let’s hope they don’t decide it’s a loss and just amputate the whole head. That would just be a mess.
Get better soon, so we won’t feel like dirtbags for pokin’ at ya!
somecallme,
Like any true Coloradoan, I’ll just crawl around until I grow another one.
bleahhhh…. seems like everybody I know has something disgusting wrong with them. I’m surrounded by – old people.
And no wonder! I live in a retirement community! Plus all my peers are old people!
How’d THAT happen?
Put a gun to my head and paint the walls with my brains.
I’ve been too busy to follow this blog lately. I need a vacation.
