Toby Bloomberg, who writes Diva Marketing Blog, asked me recently to define social media. I didn’t have a lot of time to think, okay? But here I am on her blog aside much smarter people. Like Peter Kim Being Peter a Senior Analyst at Forrester Research. And the hysterical David Berkowitz (Marketers Studio), a Director of Emerging Media at 360i.
David, by the way, taught me the word “lolcats.”
In case you share my obsession with “My Singing Monsters,” you’ll need a breeding guide to get the advanced monsters. Download the images below to your phone so they’re easy to reference. And friend me: 2846120DC – or visit me on YouTube! Real quickly- if you happen to be looking for a great entry-level digital…
When I first saw Michael Buckley plead for ratings I thought it was odd. Then two things happened. First, I realized that ratings generally drove a video higher in the charts. Second, I’m now realizing that if someone rates, it’s usually a 5. As Google’s blog shows, “five stars” (the highest) rating are the vast…
Interesting story about a wife that is in court for bitching about him on YouTube. Tricia Walsh-Smith, 49, is fighting a claim by her estranged husband, Philip Smith, that she engaged in “spousal abuse” by making the videos, which she says have been viewed more than four million times. She says he was planning to…
Daisy Whitney provides a “New Media Minute” (TVWeek) that excites me about a day when I watch a video, and I’m offered a “viewers who liked x also liked y.” It works on Amazon.com to increase purchases by existing customers, and it can enhance the video-viewing experience. This functionality is available to those who customize…
Sorry this blog has been dark. I fell asleep for 5 days. Here’s a sneak preview of my book, Beyond Viral. You can preorder it. I already ordered two copies, and plan to give them 5-star ratings that say things like “best book I’ve ever read,” and “I’m buying a copy for everyone on my…
I’ve always hated mashups (videos combined with others). Never understood ’em. This video changed my mind. What do you get when you combine the omnipresent “Star Wars Kid” video… with “Stephen Colbert vs. Rancor” video? See this video: Steven Colbert vs. Star Wars Kid. Nice job, MediaBeyonBelief. UPDATE: These videos were BOTH actually a result…

Nalts – Must disagree .. you are every bit as brilliant as Peter and as funny as David! Thanks again for playing along.
Nice response Kevin. Now if I can just figure out a way to get my co-workers and relatives to understand and stop teasing me for the number of hours I spend “in front of my computer”.
I miss Nutcheese… I should hang out in her Stickam room more.
They didn’t sound smarter… you all just sounded like computer nerds. I’m sure glad I’m not a computer nerd! Oh crap… am I replying to a blog post! Does this make me a computer nerd? No… I got it… I am just doing research online… yeah that’s it… research.
btw… fallofautumndistro is stalking me.
That second guy was hitting on Toby Bloomberg big time, almost as bad as Katie Couric was hitting on you.
The third guy I have no comment on, since he had almost nothing to say himself.
As for your comment, you don’t give yourself nearly enough credit. You were as eloquent as Dostoyefsky. And almost as long winded too.
Okay I’m kidding. I can’t help it. I’m just in one of those “hey, let’s give nalts as much shit as we can” moods lately. Hopefully it will pass quickly, like that other thing I’m having trouble getting rid of. And I’m not talking about lice.
uh oh! i gotta fart!……………. o yea! not any more!
It was my daughter who taught me about lolcats.
I just saw zefrank on Animal Planet. He got a gig co-hosting a bit on animal fatherhood with ten or twelve other who-are-they?’s. Cool. So there IS a Hollywood ending for all this self-promotion and pandering. But, uh, he could’ve taken the shortcut everyone else took to get this gig and just showed up Wednesday night at The Laugh Factory on Sunset.
He shares his success and tips for creating that viral video that will sweep us into our own fifteen minutes of fame.
