(Rated ★★★★★) – http://www.21QuestionsAboutYouTube.com Everybody dreams of making their videos viral. A couple of simple facts you should know. Number one, thinking your video is going to be viral is an absolutely terrible strategy. You’ve heard the number of hours of content uploaded to YouTube every minute. How many of them are viral? Such a minimal amount.
The chances for you to make your video viral is infinitesimally small; it is a terrible strategy.
Now if for some reason, at some point your video becomes viral, if a zillion people downloaded it, great, leverage it, take hold of it. But the chances of that are up there with you winning the lottery. It is very hard to plan a viral video, it’s just something that you just have to know how to do.

http://www.21QuestionsAboutYouTube.comYouTube takes any format you send them, so don’t worry about it. Do they take X? Yes. Do they take Y? Yes. Do they take Mac? Linux? Windows? Yes, yes, and yes.
YouTube will take any video format produced by any major, realistic video editing system. So don’t worry about trans-coding or formatting for YouTube, just give them what you’ve got and let them take it from there. They will do everything they can to make it look as good as is possible.
Now realize, if you send them a dead duck, it’s still a dead duck—it might be one of the best looking dead ducks they’ve ever had. Send them high quality, send them whatever format you want, and YouTube will make it look as good as possible.

Google Killing Google Reader On July 1.
I logged into Google Reader today to find a message that they're going to kill it come July 1, 2013. It is part of their Spring Cleaning initiative that they do on a (needed) regular basis. She's gonna go the way of 70 other Google programs they've shut down (http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2013/03/a-second-spring-of-cleaning.html).
Google Reader has been the backbone of my content aggregation and consumption strategy for as long as I can remember. I run everything through it and sync it through all of my devices using Reeder and the like.
I get that the general world hasn't grabbed onto RSS the way we all hoped it would but this one, friends, is going to hurt.
BTW, I just checked, Feedburner is not currently on the list.
What is your take? Will you miss it as much as I will? Does anyone have an alternative?

Worst Product Placement Ever.
Oh Microsoft, Oh Microsoft, please please please please consider implications when you do these kinds of things.
Is this what you want us thinking of when we're thinking of the Surface?
Do look again if you didn't catch where he was sitting.

Can I Handle The Truth?
So here at the Author 101 University event there is this guy that I can’t look at without thinking Jack Nicholson.
Looks like Jack, walks like Jack, has Jack’s shades.
Felt guilty about it. I’m sure he is his own person and has a story bigger than just looking like Jack. Was trying to wrap my mind around trying to understand his story, his humanity, etc.
Turns out he’s a Jack Nicholson impersonator.
