I love that this article is working the circles (thanks Maruhlynne). Seems the FTC is so keen on stopping companies from manipulating bloggers, they’re making the companies liable for stuff bloggers write if they get a free sample.
Or wait- here’s another idea. How about you just stop bribing bloggers? How’s that one fit?
Here’s a parody on the topic…
Up until recently I didn’t think my videos on Google Video were getting many views. Then I discovered you can enter your account and see total views. I’ve got more than 250,000 views on my videos. Here are a few. I ‘d recommend submitting your work to Google even if you put it elsewhere… seems…
It used to be when I needed a graphic, song, voiceover, technology help… I’d have to beg and borrow. It was a lot of work, and often made me feel guilty (even though viewers have been awesome about creating assets for me). Now I’ve discovered Fiverr. which is almost a black market of talented artists,…
“YouTube’s future is being held back is the typical innovator’s dilemma, or rather, billionaire’s dilemma,” writesAshkan Karbasfrooshan is CEO of WatchMojo.com. I included some of Karbashfrooshan’s pieces in Beyond Viral, and he’s one of the authoritative writers about the online-video industry and media monetization. Indeed YouTube is but a toy kiosk in the Google “Mall…
In a very interesting model, the producer of America’s Funniest Videos is bringing an archive of 1970s-present user-generated content to YouTube. And, no, Bob Saget and Tom Bergeron are not hosting, VHS players are optional, and the AFV brand isn’t involved. Thank God. Instead Vin Di Bona (who, trivia here, used some of my 1980s…
How does a guy (Brett the Intern) with 778 subscribers solicit some of the top YouTubers to be in his collaboration? Persistence, patience and a pretty funny script.

Who said Google isn’t in the content space? Today it announced via YouTube the acquisition of Next New Networks (NNN)… and the creation of YouTube Next (see YouTube blog). Cartooninator and NNN co-founder Fred Seibert is not staying on board, but many of the folks behind Obama Girl, The Key of Awesome and AutoTune the…

Hey, Pizzle, answer your e-mail. Dean and I need yer help.
You still owe me for those 172 times I mentioned WVFF at the mall….oh and for bail.
I say regulation is good. People shouldn’t be able to make false claims and not be held liable.
Does that mean a sponsored blog is as effective as a sponsored video? Hell no. And a video has the edge there as it is far harder to misconstrue sarcasm when you are actually able to use a sarcastic tone.
So I agree on the subject people should stop bribing bloggers, but would like to add that they need to start bribing me.
Did Marylin just say she copulates?
