YouTube has long been the goto place to find anything you missed from TV, or just to watch things you’d never see on TV. However, lately, it just seems like it’s being spammed more and more.

In this example, I searched for Carrie Underwood and got a bit of spam instead.

Since YouTube is owned by Google, you’d think they could detect this. Tons of keywords strung together should be pretty easy to detect. Or what about noticing that a video is tagged with nude or porn but it’s not marked as adult? How hard would it be to detect that? Or what about videos that have the same title, same description, same running time and that were uploaded at the same time? Can we say duplicate content? It seems Google’s SEO rules are not in play at YouTube.

I’m not sure how I missed out on the “We are the Web” movement, but I recently came across the video on YouTube and the website. I have to say, it’s one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a while.

Take a stand and fighting for net neutrality and internet freedom. All together now “I’m the internet, you’re the internet, we’re the internet.”

Apple is taking their TV Get Mac ads and creating web specific ones. Since I block most advertising on the net, I didn’t notice until yesterday. These sure beat out any ‘punch the monkey’ ads or giant pigs with the 50 states on them trying to get me to re-finance. Hopefully Apple will help re-invent the online advertising game too as it’s horribly outdated.

Check out the online only Get Mac ads below.

With everyone so obsessed with getting things done (GTD) I thought I’d share a few easy tips to get started on getting things done today.

1. Stop Twittering. Only your stalkers need to know your every move.
2. Turn of instant messaging. *bleep* Can you help me? *bleep* Can you fix this. *bleep* Are you ignoring me?
3. Stop checking your email every 5 minutes. Email will come as long as you check it, so just ignore it for at least 15 minutes. Props go out to those that can turn it off for an hour.

Wow, did you see Kevin Federline (KFed) at the Teen awards last night? Me either, but YouTube has it! It’s so bad it’s a must watch. It’s craptastic!

Every now and again I come across a great music video. It could be powerful, full of eye candy or just plain fun. So, I decided that with the help of the online video services, like YouTube, I’d start up a music video spotlight. It’ll showcase some of my favorite videos for one reason or another.

First off is Goodbye Earl from the Dixie Chicks. The subject of the song is serious, but it’s been played out in a fun way. Goodbye Earl has drawn a lot of controversy in the past, but it’s an all out fun song with a very smart video. The way it transitions from one scene to the next is smooth and very smart. Just remember, don’t kill your spouse, it’s illegal.
