Exclusive! Leaked! How to make Viral Videos!

TechCrunch posted about Viral Video Gamer Dan Ackerman Greenberg again.

Once again I agree with a lot of what Dan has to say in his video but I think that it's hard to build a long term business on gaming the system.

Dan may be getting work from people who pay him to create viral videos but is he getting any residuals for those videos? Does he own the content? Can he license it somewhere else?

I would also love to know if any of his videos got Rick Rolled on April 1.

Dan?

Robert Scoble Hates DirecTV

Popular Video Blogger Robert Scoble Twittered tonight "since Comcast is listening now. Can you bring HD into Half Moon Bay? Zip code 94019. I hate DirectTV"

Will this influencer shift others away from DirecTV?

Will he get HD from Comcast?

Do you think Robert Scoble has that much power?

Does Twitter make that kind of interaction with a cable company possible?

Let me know if you hear the Comcast trucks roll into Half Moon Bay.

Actor Charlton Heston Dies on Twitter

Behold the mighty hand of Twitter.

I first learned of Charlton Heston's death when popular blogger Micki Krimmal or as she is known on Twitter, Mickipedia twittered, "And so begins the deluge of charlton Heston quotes..."

That was also when I realized that I now get a lot of my news in 150 characters or less.

There is a small group of us Online Video creators, podcasters and bloggers that use Twitter to comment on our lives, stay connected and tip each other off at conventions as to what sponsor has the best party or just has free food and drinks. But now, now Twitter has become a new news source.

Twitter user Jim Long or as he's know on Twitter, newmediajim works for NBC News and when he is heading to an assignment he will tap out a tweet and let his followers know what news event he's heading to. Many times if I'm checking his feed I will know about a Washington DC news event before CNN posts it.

Twitter takes thing to a whole knew level and I don't think we have even begun to understand how this little online application that interfaces with both our phones and computers is going to change the world.

Twitter has already changed live events. Who knows, maybe we will soon be able to part the Red Sea with Twitter.

Using TV Promo Techniques to Build Your Audience

I've spent many years producing TV Promos for television shows and working on TV Commercials and there is a big difference between what works on TV and what works on the Internet.

TV commercials do not play so well on the Internet unless those TV commercials move emotions. Watch the above BBC TV Promo and you will understand what I'm talking about.

In this video Film maker and writer Terry Jones discovers a colony of penguins, which are unlike any other penguins in the world.

For the record this looks like it's another one of those April 1 Viral Videos that got sidelined due to Rick Rolling.

Ask Old White Men Questions About Thier Meds

If I told you there was a new Internet show where viewers could ask questions about the medications and sexual activities of sixty year old white men would you be interested?

What if I told you it was a YouTube Show called Living Legends and the old men were named Mick and Keith?

Moblogic is Doing it Right

Moblogic is run by the people who started the popular online series WallStrip and then sold it to CBS for 4 MillionUS Dollars.

Thanks to a Blip.TV Pro account their HUGE FLASH player looks great and really creates a nice environment for them to run a "conversation about the news that affects you and a reality check on mainstream media." The have a branded Twitter page, a Facebook fan page and they have big name advertisers running pre-roll post-roll on their sites videos and video podcast as well as banner ads on their website.

Monday through Friday host Lindsay Campbell explores issues across the country and it looks like she is having a fun time doing it.

Now if we can just get Howard Lindzon and his team to make their Moblogic marketing plan a little more environmentally friendly. ;)

I'm F-ing Obama - Hillary Clinton feat. Sarah Silverman

I found this one on NewTeeVee. Wow. What a MashUP. Hillary Clinton presents her take on Sarah Silverman's "I'm F-ing Matt Damon".

And to think this could have been one of the April Fools' Videos that didn't get any play yesterday because of Rick Rolling.

The Lone Filmmaker

He's armed with 10,000 pounds and he's going to make a film all by himself and his girlfriend is going to shoot behind the scenes for The Lone Filmmaker Vlog.

That's right from acting to best-boy, he's making a feature film and this is the first time you will be able to witness the struggles and set backs, highs and lows of one man fighting to make a full-length movie entirely on his own!

"I am a filmmaker and so this is my passion, but this project will require me to leave home and venture out into the wilderness. My girlfriend has agreed to film the whole process My girlfriend is NOT helping me make the film by filming me. She is filming the video blogs - if she was, then I wouldn't be making a feature film entirely on my own. :-)"

Tiki Bar TV's Lala Showers

Footage from the photoshoot will never let you down.

Maybe this is the end of "Rick Rollining"
