YouTube’s Off the Air… What Do the Hancuffs Mean?!


Remember my post about 10 reasons online-video advertising (the smart ways) will be recession proof? Here’s something written days later, and worth reading. Good for creators worrying about your revenue in 2009, or advertisers looking how to spread your 2009 spending… From Jack Meyers’ media report. “Marketers need to determine how they can put less money…
I used to find news like this article (about star power being tapped for web video) threatening. Now I find it cute. Because the monetization model doesn’t exist to justify stars. Will Ferrell makes more in an hour than I’ve made in my 2 years and 37 million views. The industry needs to mature a…

Perhaps the heiroglyphics means that the blues brother (the two YouTube founders) find themselves in a fight club (copyright infringement battle) that they cape fear (would rather avoid the cigar-smoking, laughing man in the movie theater).
