"That's What She Said" Music Video (Martin Gordon's Blog (cptncelchu)) by Martin

Much better than any of the Super Bowl ads…

NBC did a good job incorporating all four shows, but I wish it was longer.

Making music, when you really can't (Kilala.nl (Cailin Coilleach)) by Cailin Coilleach

Thanks to my colleague Casper for telling me about Lasse Gjertsen, a rather awesome guy on YouTube. Lasse's a completely a-musical person by his own accord. However, he's edited video clips of himself hitting single notes and drums into complete musical compositions ^_^

I found it hard to believe that he didn't just play the music in realtime, putting the video over it later, but I guess I'll take his word for it :)

Here's Lasse beatboxing.
Playing a duet with himself.

A truly awesome, artistic experiment. Posted in: lasse gjertsen , video editing , youtube

"YouTube Is My Hall of Fame" (Martin Gordon's Blog (cptncelchu)) by Martin

(A Winer-esque post, but I really like this quote so whatever.)

Fred Wilson: "Shut the Hall of Fame. Because YouTube is my Hall of Fame. Rock on." The game has changed. There's too much stuff out there for us to only care about "the best". Especially when we all have different ideas of what "the best" is.

Reality Outside The Echo Chamber (Martin Gordon's Blog (cptncelchu)) by Martin

We briefly discussed the Google/YouTube deal in two of my classes (MGMT 230: Entrepreneurship and FNCE 250: Venture Capital and the Finance of Innovation) this past week. In both classes, either I overheard or someone asked the professor, "What's YouTube?"

Now, I don't necessarily expect the average person walking down the street to know what YouTube is, but the people in my classes aren't particular average. For one, we're at the best undergrad business school in the country. Second of all, these are classes focused on entrepreneurship and VC, so I hope that the people in these classes have an interest in the subject. Yet there are some people in this very specific group who had no idea what YouTube is.

I'm still not sure if I've lost faith in my fellow classmates or gained faith in the power of the echo chamber.
