Ze’s Alive!
Ze Frank brings it home on social networking!
The Show has ended
I am sure all Sports Racers feel a great sadness with the end of The Show. I know I personally can quit watching the Internet now. What will Ze do?! You can’t build an empire and just disappear.
Amanda, re-boomed
I was an Amanda Congdon fan since Sept 27, 2005 (See?). Upon her departure, Rocketboom lost its appeal and I switch ed to watching Ze Frank’s The Show. It appears that Amanda is returning to video blogging! The twist is that she’s gone mainstream media and is on ABC’s online news channel with a 5 minute format.
Congdon, 25, will regularly appear on ABC’s online news channel, ABC News Now, and will host a weekly five-minute video blog appearing on ABC.com. Congdon, who will primarily provide news analysis and commentary through the network’s online channels, says she also expects to occasionally pop up on Good Morning America, Nightline, and other ABC news television programs.

She’s working to develop a show for HBO’s on-air and on-demand channels.

This should be an interesting development in the video blogging world. I need iMovie!
Videoblogging for money
Here is a little hint of what is to come. Google has announced that it will pay videographers $5 for every 1000 times their video is viewed on Google Video. This is not YouTube! This is Google’s answer to Revver which appends an advertisement to the end of user’s videos then pays the video maker 50% of the ad revenue every time it is clicked. Popular shows like Ze Frank’s The Show use Revver for revenue. He also sells candy. The Mentos guys made a bundle on Revver.
Grobe and Voltz, for instance, pocketed $35,000, their share of the ad revenue paid to them by Revver, for their first Coke-and-Mentos video back in July. Now, the pair could earn big bucks from Google if the latest video is a hit. The two are also hosting a video-making contest sponsored by Coca-Cola, which paid them an undisclosed amount. [Source]
I have been dying to try video publishing but I don’t feel I have the time (Ze Frank spends 6 hours creating his show of roughly 3 minutes; Rocketboom uses a staff and an entire day to produce a 3 to 8 minute show) or the tools (I really think a Mac makes video editing easier) to do it right. Maybe I should do it for the money instead of fun!

I haven’t chimed in on Foley yet
I am not certain that I have made a strong enough effort to introduce many of you to Ze Frank. After losing, Amanda (ie. the Rocketboom fiasco), I more or less turned my daily 3 minutes of "I’ll watch anything" to Ze Frank’s The Show. My standard disclaimer is that Ze Frank is very bright but uses some language that might not be appropriate in certain settings – maybe not quite Red Fox but definitely not Bill Cosby.
All that aside, I think today Ze Frank pretty much summed up the Foley stuff. Push play and see for yourself.

Dreamers that dream, dreamers that do – Move over Stephen R Covey!
Move over Stephen R Covey and David Allen! Ze Frank sums it up for us in his show on Brain Crack. After watching this show, my introduction to Ze Frank, I became very aware that I am addicted to Brain Crack.
Standard Ze Frank warning! Ze Frank borrows dialog from George Carlin‘s dictionary. The beginning of this movie is fairly safe but ends in a song staring words that begin in the letter F with a guest appearance by a word beginning with the letter A.
I was warned…Ze Frank is coming!
First there was Amanda Congdon at Rocketboom. When she parted company with RB, I pondered, "could a guy pull off what a female host can?" Several weeks ago an online friend gave me an electronic nudge and said, "Yes!" Ze Frank is undeniably the next video blogging hit. Of course, there still is Ask a Ninja but he’s…uh..you know…a cubby ninja. Be warned Ze Frank uses language that many of us pretend we don’t hear daily.
I love the Internet!
Oh.. How did we ever get entertained before the Internet? Why does our government want to screwup such good stuff?
Yes. Video blogging (Ze Frank uses adult language) is in Reality Me’s future.
