--New from O'Reilly
*Make a Splash on YouTube*

 *Sebastopol, CA*—Thousands
of people post to YouTube  each day with hopes of taking
videos "viral," but few understand how to make that happen. But if you want
to be visible on YouTube or even go viral, then you've come to the right
place.

YouTube: An Insider's Guide to Climbing the
Charts(O'Reilly, $29.99)
written by YouTube veterans Alan
"fallofautumndistro" Lastufka 
and Michael
W. Dean , provides easy-to-read
instructions on getting a video of your cause, song, commercial, or unique
point of view noticed by thousands.

"You don't need money or corporate backing to go viral," explains Alan. "You
simply need a very good, or very bad, video and the know-how to get viewers
to your video--both of which you will learn how to do in this book."

Both Alan, one of the Top 100 Most Subscribed Comedians on YouTube and
someone who makes a successful living off of the site, and Michael, a
seasoned filmmaker, recognize there are thousands of creative, intelligent
people on YouTube. They've crafted a solid technology book filled with media
production techniques along with thought-provoking tips on professionalism,
networking--and, as they put it, "being a better citizen of the planet
Earth."

Unlike any other book on this topic, YouTube: An Insider's Guide to Climbing
the Charts  also includes
interviews with YouTube stars LisaNova, Hank Green (vlogbrothers),
WhatTheBuckShow, nalts, and liamkylesullivan, as well as current YouTube
staff.

With this new book, you'll learn about:

   - Storytelling and directing
   - Shooting, editing, and rendering
   - Creating your very own channel
   - Broadcasting user-generated content
   - Re-broadcasting commercial content
   - Cultivating a devoted audience
   - Fitting into the YouTube community
   - Becoming a success story

Alan and Michael share their understanding of viral marketing and what they
know about getting your work on everyone's YouTube radar. And, once you read
this book, so will you.

*Advance Praise*
"Let me begin by making an observation that the authors are too humble to
make for themselves: This book will change your life."
--John Green, YouTube channel vlogbrothers

2008-11-20 Thread Rupert 
Funny - I was just Twittering this morning about how there aren't  
many people making videos or writing about how to make money out of  
online video or how companies should do vlogging.

I got sent a message by a company that makes something called Tube  
Toolbox - which is basically spam software for YouTube.  It'll friend  
everybody on YouTube and email everyone on earth with your video and  
make it go like viral and stuff.  If that's your thing, Google it.  I  
ain't gonna link to it.

They've also set up a YouTube message board community to pimp their  
software.  Lots of people saying Watch My Video!  There might be some  
good stuff in there, but I was too depressed to stay.

 From the book description:
"Both Alan and Michael recognize there are thousands of creative,  
intelligent people on YouTube. They've crafted a solid technology  
book filled with media production techniques along with thought- 
provoking tips on professionalism, networking--and, as they put it,  
"being a better citizen of the planet Earth."
They seem to have written a book about YouTube without ever having  
watched any videos or read any comments.

Some days I start to like YouTube and post about some of its cooler  
new features here.  Today is not one of them.  It makes me laugh to  
read all that.  It seems to me that we tried to start something open  
and positive here.  But in terms of viewers, audience, numbers,  
popularity, opportunity - call it what you will - we lost the first  
battle to a monumental closed corporate mecca full of dross and  
hate.  R

This guy is the sole reason I have issues with YouTubers.

He made a point of attacking me directly because I was one of the few YouTubers 
who didn't think that guy was sending a message or trying to warn people of 
something.

Made my internet life a living hell with spam, including inflammatory spam such 
as "Matthew Milam wants to kill".

This is the kinda stuff that destroys the Internet.
