Here’s the 20/20 story on YouTubers. Read about Obama Girl and David & Dentist. My favorite part of this is Joe Penna’s story. Here’s me meeting Penna the first time… (I totally didn’t know it was him until the shades went on).
Wow- I am just realizing how sweet that NextUp program is… I spoke to them in NYC but didn’t really understand all the free goods and cash they get. Mmmm.
Here’s the e-mail I just found in my box. Whoops.
Remember when hypertext was all the rage? Then hypervideo was going to allow Seinfeld viewers to click on the phone and buy one? Asterpix has a somewhat new service that allows you to rip a video from YouTube or other sites, and then drag hyperlinks over the images. Your video, which would now be served…
Imagine for a moment you’ve just waited for 3 days in the rain. You’re about to buy a PS3 and some guy comes out dressed like a pimp. He’s holding a brand new PS3, but he drops it to the ground. The guy next to him slams it with a sledge hammer. See the video…

Car tires “always” screech…

I totally wish my Youth Questions channel would’ve been a finalist for Next Up. Alas, I build it myself instead. There was a lot of really stiff competition for votes with top YouTuber plugging their friends. Although, a couple of the winners I can’t see how they possibly got enough votes.
