YouTube Isn’t Just for Young People

Blogging has been all the rage for a few years — with cover stories on major magazines, blogs about blogs, and some bloggers literally becoming credible media sources that rival legacy print and television brands. Interestingly, there’s a trend that appears to have accelerated far faster and more dramatically than blogs. Online video. Take for…
Fascinating. Even local newspapers want a shot at online video. Some excerpts from a piece on Editor and Publisher by Kevin J. Mireles: YouTube won the initial race out the gate, jumping from nowhere to become a top 30 site in just six months, newspapers are determined not to be left in the dust…
I’m so glad that CarriBugbee shared this on The Twitter. Here’s a video clip that sets things straight about the Internets and technology vernacular. Rachel Maddow’s correspondent Kent Jones shows how Montana Senator Max Bacchus referred to lots of “YouTubes in the Crowd.” A double whammy because he pluralized YouTubes, and presumably was thinking not…
A loyal reader shared this forum post where YTPaul explained the YouTube changes that have sent many amateur creators into a nose dive (see my Gremlins article). I quote below, and pay special attention to the bold. Seems those sexy thumbnails are as important as ever! Hi all – thanks for your patience as we…
Patton Oswalt, one of my absolute favorite comedians, rants about YouTube on this Comedy Central “Root of All Evil” video excerpt. Good to know he’s watching. Hey, Patton… Forget the sneezing Panda bear. I think Farting in Public rival Citizen Kane.
How many views does it take for a video to be defined as going “viral”? It’s not 1 million, and it’s not 2 million… read on. I’m a big fan of Smosh’s Teleporting Fat Guy (see original video seen more than 4 million times). So I was thrilled to see the adorable chubby guy return…

Oh please! You paid her to say that!
For some reason my hyperlinks aren’t working on my computer, so I am spared the banality of whatever it is she has to say.
^ Caitlin banally said Nalts wasn’t over the hill (yet). But close. Even people in their 40s (brrrrrr) are allowed to make videos. We’re such an open culture!
Got some scary news for ya, Caitlin: codgers in their 50s are making videos. No really. No shit. I can prove it!
That is hilarious with the clip of you driving the car in that context.
@4 Paul
Yes, it worked well, didn’t it!? It’s almost as if forethought had been put into it.
40’s??!?!? We are so old Kevin. Tomorrow, I start my 50th year strolling on this rock. When asked what I have contributed during my stay here I will affect my best quizzical look and volunteer…”Well I once made a cheese video for a Nalts collab”…
I think I’ll kill myself now….

Hey! What a coinkydink! I made a chesse video for a Nalts collab too. What are the odds?
