I did a Google search for YouTube sucks (for reasons I can’t quite explain because I’m not mad at YouTube today). Here’s what I found.
A Brit waxes poetically about YouTube’s sucking. Seems the “bun was getting stuck” — causing her to miss a deadline by two days… She quotes someone else wanting to mobilize troops against YouTube.
Kind of interesting to watch people use YouTube to critique it.
I beg your pardon. While I’ve been bustin’ on Google for not keeping up on real-time search, I neglected to read this announcement 6 days later… Seems the folks at Twitter and Google have reached an agreement, and we’ll soon see Twitter indexed on Google. Clearly my post was the impetus, and I’m glad to…
Isn’t it true that the hard videos are never as popular as the easy ones. This video of Rusty and Triscuit (pets of babysitter of nalts) was viewed nearly 700,000 times on Yahoo Video. But my more recent video, “Confessions” was far more complicated, and has been seen 25K views. Well congratulations, sweet Rusty. You…
Stephen King (not THAT Stephen King, but the one from the Institute for the Future in Palo Alto) spoke yesterday at my day job. He discussed the difference between legacy television viewing ("leaning back") and online video viewing ("leaning forward"). Obviously our attention span is different for each task- 30 minutes to hours for "leaning…
A flashmob broke out in another food court. It set a record (see news). 26 million have seen this, so you’d better watch. In related news, 47 people in a Cleveland Church spontaneously broke into a food-court mob.

Regular readers of WillVideoForFood will recall that in December a collection of online video creators began a “participative video storyline” called GooTube Conspiracy. Initially this included a random plot based on comments and videos posted by the YouTube community. More than 75 videos were created by random people on YouTube that had never since interacted….

YouTube sucks? When did this happen?
youtube just kicked me off for inappropriate content.
i find this amusing. especially since they literally just approved me as a director a week earlier and i have sent at least three emails asking what it was that was inappropriate ony to get a message back about something that was totally unrelated to my question.
Maybe it’s that trailer park manager, the one who is on a moral crusade to clean up YouTube. Only one of my videos was kicked off YouTube after it had been up three or four months. Suddenly it was inappropriate. Cristo-fascists. The most amusing YouTube flamer I got was a 28 year-old “Vietnam vet” (obviously bad at math) irate over my PTSD spoof.
YouTube’s efforts kicking Marquis and IDoNothing are like me trying to solve world hunger by giving candy to the fat kid next door. Not sure this analogy works, but I felt like mentioing the fat kid next door.
1Steak- thanks for the feedback. Always nice to see a fresh name.
Make new blogger commenters but keep the old. One is silver but the other’s gold.
Fat kid next door.
Youtube is owned by Google now…its changed a little I guess….
