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 News are (see Next New Networks blog). Yeah click that.
Want your Gmail to replace your YouTube messaging? Sorry- but here are some pretty thumb icons you can use to rate comments! Who would have thought the market would be so beholden to YouTube’s inside-out design… half way through 2008? By now, I would have predicted that Web 2.0 would offer us endless options for customizing a video…
Crows root through garbage, and caw us from our slumber. But what if I could train the species- which top the avian IQ scale – to be my minions? Then I read in a recent O Magazine about a hacker named Joshua Klein who spent a decade studying crows, and discovered they’re highly intelligent and…
Cameron Sharpe, the alleged pyramid-scheme founder of iJango (which is going to “multi-level Google”) was caught on tape espousing his plans and stepping out of a Maserati in a no-parking lane. This exclusive footage was provided confidentially to WillVideoForFood. It turns out Cameron posted it to YouTube too, but just keep reading. I was sent…
Oh damn this is cool. Bobby McFerrin turns the entire stage into a keyboard, and the audience into his pipes. It’s a fascinating demonstration of our brains in action. Well, not your brain and my brain. We’re just receiving the encoded video. But Bobby’s and the audience. Not the doctors on the stage either. They…
Two out of three YouTube stars (Jody Rivera/VenetianPrincess and Greg Benson/Mediocrefims) featured in ABC News’ story on “YouTube Top Earners” were among the dozen profiled in my “Beyond Viral” book. Coincidence? Or did the student author, Clay LePard (a member of the ABC News on Campus bureau at Syracuse University) forget to read his journalism…
Gautam Anand, director for content partnerships (Asia Pacific), told the Hindustan Times, “We are looking to significantly ramp up our long-form Bollywood movies catalogue. Full length catch-up shows have been getting a tremendous response from across the globe.” It seems even the most celebrated Bollywood songs have taken to recent parodies like the recent Guild…

Why is this blog post dated 3/7 but it must have been posted today. There are no comments except this one. Oh my god, is everyone else dead?
Wow.
So does this make Nalts a consultant for YouTube now?
Cool & Congrats I think.
I’m here, sukatra.
Where is butt plug? He’s usually the first one to comment on here.
You talking ’bout me, ButtCheese? I’ve been busy and barely been online recently.
you’re a card nalts, I just clicked on the NNN Blog link 🙂
And just how will this affect my cholesterol level?
Wanna see my momma cry? Just clink on my website link here.
So the Distributor becomes the content creator. It will be interesting to see what gets promoted. I have to audition for Annoying Orange.
Plus I am sooo close!
Thanks everyone. We have now convinced Sukatra that we’re all alive. It’s best she not yet confront the sad apocalypse that’s really happening. Butt plug. Ehhh heee.
Am I in any of your wills? If so, im sorry the apocalypse hasnt struck your town yet. Also, kelley im really really sorry but I think buttcheese is hilarious, and i look forward to how you explain that buttcheese is a vegan cheese made from butts.
The apocalyse came and went. You’d know this if you watched Supernatural.
Oh merlin, you do crack me up.
Would the Apocalyse be better with or without a Buttplug.
I am the queen of Butt Cheese!!!
Pretty sad when the comments on your blog become more interesting than the blog itself, Kev.
@Nalts’ sister: The comments are ALWAYS more interesting than his blog. Nalts can’t help it; we are just more interesting than he is.
I do wish the comments were more serious. BUT it is what it is…
What exactly does all this mean for me?
More competetion, but basically will have the funding of Google. what will be interesting is how promotion will work. will YouTube’s group be promoted over everyone else’s or will the “Next” be treated just like any other group.
FREE KIDDSOCK
So I guess it is a bad thing for me?
so will the Next New creator people have an advantage of getting spolights and stuff or will all partners be treated the same?
Kiddsock, you wish the comments were more serious? You are barking up the wrong tree! Or was that a fart?
I think I need some beano. lol
@naltssister you think these comments were interesting? You aint seen nuthin’ yet.
