MILF Vlogger in Hot Moms Contest

A Second Chance Around” Sonia, a vlogger whom Kevin Nalts calls a MILF, is in a mother’s day contest for hot moms. Her daughter put her in the running.

Nalts has a beautiful wife, so I trust his taste. That, and Sonia looks like a more mature version of my ex-girlfriend. Go give her a vote. Happy mother’s day to all the mommas out there.

Lindsay Lohan, Amanda Bynes, Brittany Snow & Adam Sandler in YouTube Dance Battle!

You know back-and-forth YouTube vlogging is huge when Hollywood celebs want in on the action. While the army of celebrities in I’m Fucking Ben Affleck first appeared on TV before hitting YT, these celebs dove straight into the middle of a YouTube convo. Step Up 2 The Streets director Jon M. Chu recruits Lindsay Lohan, Amanda Bynes, Brittany Snow and Adam Sandler into an ongoing YouTube dance battle. Talk about escalation.

Jon M. Chu plugs these celebrities into three formulae for YouTube success all at once: conversation, collaboration, and dance. Brilliant.

Videorix: A Video Sponsorship Agency

Videorix

The two great things about advertisers going straight to video creators are (1) all revenue goes to the creators, and (2) the ads stay regardless of superdistribution. Nadim Elgarhy understands this, and he wants to make the process easier through self-service online business matching.

Last year, he put up an online video product placement agency, Brandfame. Now he’s replicating that self-service model with Videorix, a site that lets advertisers put their logos at the beginning of creators’ videos. Inside Online Video readers get a $50 credit to their accounts through this invite code: insideov

Wonder what other ad formats can be sold through online advertiser-creator matching. Prerolls? Postrolls? Midrolls? Overlays? At the rate Nadim’s going, he just might do all of them before Madison Avenue wakes up to the possibilities.

Happy Slip’s Comedy Returns with a Contest!

She’s been posting wonderful videos of her trip to the Philippines, but I’m also glad to see Filipina comedienne Christine “Happy Slip” Gambito and her family of wacky characters return to regularly scheduled programming. Her latest episode breaks the fourth wall as you can do only inside online video. It even comes with a video response contest — best five win a digital video camera and a Happy Slip mug.

A YouTube partnership, an endorsement deal, a free Pacific island tour, and now a gadget contest — Christine’s one-woman show just keeps getting bigger and bigger.

Playboy Seeks Playmate on YouTube

It’s not only in Hollywood or the glamour girls in New York. Beautiful girls are on your college campus, they are in your office, they live next door to you. — Hugh Hefner.

Anyone who’s spent any amount of time on YouTube knows that the site is full of babes. That’s why Playboy Playmate editor Holly Madison is smart to seek the 55th anniversary Playmate on YouTube.

No nudity allowed, so you can’t submit your nude vlog post.

Hulu Posts on YouTube

Oh, this is funny. After NBC killed its own YouTube channel last year, NBC-Fox “YouTube killer” Hulu now posts videos on YouTube — with an annoying uncloseable ad ticker to boot.

What’s the matter, Hulu? Did you leave your Dick in a Box? Did you finally realize that nobody wants to play with you in your pathetic little silo?

YouTube Player Beta Autodetects Bandwidth?

YouTube Player Beta

At first, I couldn’t see the difference between the old YouTube player and the new YouTube player beta, other than the obvious cosmetic differences in the control bar and related videos. Then I looked below the video. Read More
