Delicious founder on site's potential: 'The time has passed'
Delicious founder on site's potential: 'The time has passed' - CNN.com: "More than five years after the social bookmarking website was sold to Yahoo for a reported $15 million, Joshua Schachter's Delicious is suddenly in the news again.Yahoo flipped the struggling property Wednesday to the pair who founded YouTube for an undisclosed sum. People immediately turned to Schachter for his take.
'I think the time [for Delicious] has passed, but maybe they'll do something cool with the name,' Schachter told CNN in an interview from his new office here. 'I use it somewhat, but I'm not a heavy user anymore.'
The new owners, having formed a venture in San Mateo, California, called AVOS, are 'currently heads down working hard' on their vision for Delicious, the company said in an e-mailed statement. Chad Hurley and Steve Chen, who shepherded the world's largest online video service to Google, have been vague about their plans for Delicious and declined an interview request.
'We're excited to work with this fantastic community and take Delicious to the next level,' AVOS CEO Hurley said in a statement. 'We see a tremendous opportunity to simplify the way users save and share content they discover anywhere on the Web.'

YouTube star is hetero bear wrestler on Google
Technolog - YouTube star is hetero bear wrestler on Google: "If you happened by Google’s top trends page Thursday night, you probably asked yourself, 'Who or what is Kevjumba and why is everybody asking whether he’s a heterosexual bear wrestler?'Indeed. In yet another epic win for search engine gaming — and the secret powers of the mighty YouTube community — 'Is Kevjumba a heterosexual bear wrestler?' became the top Google search question.
Kevjumba for those of you who don’t live on YouTube — is a star on the video-sharing site, as well as a former 'Amazing Race' contestant. His real name is Kevin Wu and he recently ended a 2-month hiatus from his YouTube channel — which has more than a million subscribers — with a hilarity-packed 2:44 minute episode in which he shared what happened when he Googled himself.
Noting that Google auto-complete — which offers the most popular searches for the words you’ve already typed — suggested he finish his query 'Is Kevjumba' with 'gay?' the YouTube star charged his users help change that – to something funny.

Logitech HD Pro Webcam C910 (a YouTube review)
I found this "real-people" review on YouTube and you can really get a good sense of the webcam's capabilities. But, the funny part (unplanned) is when her two dogs run behind her on the bed and start to fight and carry-on (hilarious). I thought this video review was FANTASTIC—helpful, natural, on-the-fly, and very humorous.

YouTube Increases Video Time Limit to 15 Minutes
YouTube Increases Video Time Limit to 15 Minutes - Yahoo! News: "Good news for everyone out there who's ever thought to themselves: 'A 10-minute video of my cat eating ribs on the kitchen floor is just too short.' YouTube announced today that it has increased its upload limit from 10 minutes to 15 for non-partners. So get kitty lookin' pretty and start rolling!So why add the extra five-spot now? Well, on the YouTube blog, the video-sharing site explains that it's been beefing up its copyright protection tools of late, i.e. the Content ID system (which lets copyright holders have more control over their content). Therefore, it's less likely that users can, say, upload large chunks of movies and TV shows without permission.
In celebration of this added time, YouTube is also launching a contest of sorts called '15 Minutes of Fame.' Basically, all users have to do is film a 15-minute vid, tag it with “yt15minutes,” and upload it by Wednesday, August 4. The chosen videos will be featured on the YouTube homepage.
We wonder what effect -- if any -- this new time limit will have on initiatives like YouTube Leanback. Do you think the extra five minutes will equate to better content, or merely more room to rant about video games, Twilight and the like? Let us know!

Turning to video to help you land a dream job
Careers- msnbc.com: "Louie Bernstein lost his job as a general manager for an Atlanta computer company on Feb. 2 and immediately decided an ordinary résumé wouldn’t cut it in this job market.
So Bernstein, 57, turned to YouTube. He created an eight-minute video of a mock interview using his camcorder. He wrote the script and had his son play the role of interviewer, and he now sends a link to the video along with his résumé when applying for jobs.
“My wife thought I was crazy spending time on this when I should be doing the traditional stuff like networking,” he said. “But I need to do something that stands out and separates me from the average bear.”
Videos can set some job hunters apart, especially in a tight labor market. And a growing number of employers are actually turning to video to interview far-flung candidates.
That means you may have to get your Fellini hat on, or at least start thinking about how videos can help your career.
While Bernstein hasn’t gotten an interview yet, his video has already been viewed more than 100 times.
But other job seekers have found success with videos.
Take Eric Romer. He heard about a marketing manager job at razor company HeadBlade via Twitter and decided to set up a blog called “Hire Me, HeadBlade,” where he included a YouTube video of himself shaving his head with the company’s product.
“I got a response within 24 hours, and the founder/CEO flew me out to interview less than a week later,” said Romer.
Todd Greene, HeadBlade’s CEO, said: “When I saw Eric's head shave video, I knew that he is, indeed, a HeadBlader.”
Romer started his new gig in Culver City, Calif., on Jan. 18.
While some hiring managers shun the often amateurish mini movies, others rave about them.
“It’s virtually impossible to get an impression of someone from a résumé, and videos have saved us so much time in the screening process,” said Heather Logrippo, owner of Distinctive Homes magazine.
So many people look great on paper, she said, but when they show up for an interview, they don’t match what they put down in their résumé and cover letter."

UCD Student Making Huge Splash On YouTube
UCD Student Making Huge Splash On YouTube - cbs13.com: "A UC Davis student has turned into an internet rock star and is paying his way through college by raking in tens of thousands of dollars through his YouTube comedy videos.
Kevin Wu's camcorder used to get him in trouble with his parents, but the 19-year-old sophomore said it has turned him into a surprise hit on the popular video sharing website.
'I got a little excited because it's like, wow, people are watching,' Kevin said.
For some of his fans, it has turned into an addiction. Kevin's YouTube channel, under the name 'kevjumba,' has more than 700,000 subscribers and has racked up 50 million hits on his videos on dorm drama.
His immigrant parents are frequently teased in his online videos.
'I don't like when you sing these rap songs,' Kevin's father said in a video titled 'What we hate about each other.' 'These ridiculous rap songs. Rap rap rap.'
Kevin's contagious comedy turned him into a top YouTuber and companies now pay him to run advertisements on his video clips, earning enough to pay for college and donate a hefty amount to charity -- $8,000 in just four months.
The hype has made him a pretty big deal on campus, but it only has been a moderate effect on his romantic life.
'I've never been really confident among women, even though I may portray it in my videos,' he laughed. 'I'm still kinda shy about females.'
Kevin is majoring in communications and wants to make movies when he graduates. He said his YouTube videos take up more time than he'd like to admit, but it doesn't prevent from completing his course work.
Most of the time, anyway."
