Before there was the “long tail” theory, there was the 80/20 rule. Before that there was Murphy’s Law. I haven’t quite understood any of them, but I think this blog entry supports them. Why? Because 80% of you will not understand why this link is so funny. 20% of you will fall over and do…
Online-Video Ad Spend: Optimistic But Still “Sculpting Fog”
ByNalts
Don’t get depressed about the economy folks. Even wrecklessly stupid brands are squeezing old-media spending in favor of paid search, targeted interactive advertising, and … yes… even online video. Marketing and advertising spend on online video has a good future. Even though it’s a small sliver of online spending and difficult to measure (slicing fog),…
The Mother of All Video Searches

Now there’s a new option….

ViralVideoWannaBe (aka fallofautumndistro) is offering 3 copies of his YouTube book if you sign up to his e-mail… I’m mentioned in the book, and if you read it, you’re guaranteed to be an instant YouTube celebrity I think. I’m not really sure. I kinda scanned it.

Google Displays “Video” in Search Options

Google is taking one more step to getting serious about online video. Getting real estate on the homepage of Google is like trying to install a golf course in Manhattan. But once you’ve searched something, you’ll notice a “Video: New” icon that allows you to refine your search. See below for example. The searches appear…

You are SO funny, Kevin! I don’t want my 2 minutes back. Look out zefrank, a new genre has emerged: Commute Video. I predict it will replace Commentary Video. It’s got wheels.
On the YouTube post I’ve got some guy berating me about how irresponsible to video tape and drive. Um- I was destroying federal currency, lighting a fire in a moving auto, and berating the very channel that I was using to berate it. And DRIVING while videotaping was the irresponsible thing?
I shouldn’t have named it YouTube Rant. There are about a million videos with that same name…

Dude, you need some audio books to listen to. Even after a 45 minute commute to work (each way, each day), I STILL don’t get that loopy. Maybe your exhaust is leaking into the cabin?
But the point is valid. Don’t they always say “buy low, sell high.” I think he’s high for not selling.
