I haven’t listened to a song on the radio for a long, long time. Six months? Longer. It’s all iTunes and Pandora these days. I discovered a link to the song above on @fezmonger ‘s Twitter feed. He found by way of @planetnelson.

I really like the video. The girl is almost too cute to look at. The guy seems ecstatic in his joy. I do wonder if the song was really recorded in the bedroom, as it appears. If so, Big Label Music is cold-in-the-ground dead.

PS: Yes, I am aware of how much video I’ve been posting of late. Not sure why. Coincidence, if you believe in such a silly thing.

YouTube as Home Page

Remember those early Web 1.0 home pages with the navigation buttons and long “Welcome to our Website” paragraphs? Which eventually morphed into more dynamic content, maybe even a blog? How about just making YouTube your home page?

In a recent conference call I cautioned against being “a PowerPoint company in a YouTube world.” I’m guessing the kids at Boone Oakley don’t do a lot of PowerPoint presentations. [By way of Planet Nelson]

My first iPhone video

Forget for a moment that I have the iPhone in portrait orientation, and check out the quality of this brief walk through the newsroom. I’ve uploaded videos to YouTube from all kinds of cameras: Sony Camcorder; Flips; my beloved Casios; the MacBook iSight.

But I don’t think I’ve ever ended up with a clip that looked and sounded this good. I know, could be some Cupertino Mind Trick but I think I’m correct on this point. And the iPhone has YouTube option built right in.
