- heysuburbia, on 10/12/2007, -2/+53Yeah, I asked for 1 million dollars. And they gave it to me!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+51Idiot. Should have asked for 2.
:) - dustedbunny, on 10/12/2007, -1/+45Awesome, congrats man! I didn't even know ABC did this. Also mad props to Ok, Go! for that music video of theirs (on the treadmills). Ive been seeing it more and more on TV segments like that. :)
- zephc, on 10/12/2007, -2/+34By 2012, all television broadcasts will be pasted-together clips from youtube, which by then will be owned by Microsoft and renamed MS Television XRT Service Pack 9.
- RichPowers, on 10/12/2007, -2/+32Congrats on getting your video on GMA.
Does anyone else find it funny how the big networks try in vein to embrace all this new-fangled Internet media stuff? Remember back in 2004/2005 how CNN, et al would read blogs over the air? Now ABC is teaming up with YouTube to try and stay "hip" and prove their relevance. Frankly, I watch the TV news for REAL reporting, not stupid ***** from the Internet
no offense to you heysuburbia :) - westwind429, on 10/12/2007, -2/+28His stupid what?
If you're going to call somebody "stupid," I suggest you avoid making any obvious grammatical errors. - Araya213, on 10/12/2007, -2/+25She said that the creators were "The men behind the juggernaut". I thought for a second she was talking about the "I'm the jugggernaut BITCH" video.
- heysuburbia, on 10/12/2007, -1/+24Thanks. Yeah, cograts to all the videos. It's so funny to see some stupid little video you did to make your friends laugh show up on TV and being talked about by respected news anchors. I think Diane Sawyer felt a little uncomfortable laughing at people, she was stone faced the whole time.
- ActiveMatx, on 10/12/2007, -2/+22Direct link on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFh8hUUGN84
- heysuburbia, on 10/12/2007, -2/+22None taken, agree it's a stupid video from the Internet.
- ChuyMatt, on 10/12/2007, -2/+21Your Internet User card is revoked.
- heysuburbia, on 10/12/2007, -2/+21And then I can post another Digg story called:
Good Morning America got my Digg about my Digg Article, "Digg got my YouTube video on Good Morning America," on Good Morning America to the front page of Digg! - merreborn, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19"I didn't even know ABC did this."
As someone who's been on the net for over a decade, it's always a little odd to see things like this, that indicate that the media finally has some sort of grasp on what's going on on the internet.
Just 10 years ago, all news coverage of the 'net was "information superhighway this", and "computer hacker that", and generally completely uninformed. Similarly, the public at large had little to do with the internet.
Now my grandma has a blog. - Apoc, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14Well that's probably not a racist comment.
- attractivetb, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12I hate the way the host pronounces youTUBE.
She puts the emPHAsis on the wrong sylLABle. - MOJIRA, on 05/17/2008, -1/+10RichPowers, you said exactly what I wanted to. Thank you!
TV news has become a JOKE, it's ridiculous. Just for my own personal research I spent most of the day watching CNN, FOX, MSNBC, & others and I just couldn't take it anymore.
One of the things I saw was that on CNN they have a new thing now call iReport or whatever it is - where they tell you if you take a video or photo(s) of a news story you can send it in and they'll use it. Which seems fine, but if you heard how they described it and the way the explained it to you, you'd vomit; it's just so condescending.
And for god's sake (I'm sure some will disagree) I don't want some hot chick giving me my news and flirting with her co-anchor, I want some old British dude with a scruffy beard and thick glasses who actually wrote the news story!!! - heysuburbia, on 10/12/2007, -4/+13@lordthor
What were you on there for? - lordthor, on 10/12/2007, -5/+13Hey, congrats. I was on GMA too, but that was for a whole different thing. :P
- heysuburbia, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10I gave them my name, I thought they would, but they kind of just ran through a bunch of videos. And since it was the first episode of their YouTube feature they had the YouTube guys on which took away from playing most the videos.
- zorplex, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9Are you kidding?
.....
Well, if you weren't, it is "Dragostea Din Tei" by O Zone. Some people know it as "Numa Numa".
http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/206373
I don't know why they used it in the Youtube selections as it became famous on other sites first. (If I'm not mistaken...) - techlinks, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Umm...who's laughing...oh, and he tried to help him, the guy cursed him out. AND waved his arms at people!
- Namco, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10How so?
...oh wait, I get it. That broadcast TV is the lesser medium and that it would need to be posted on You Tube for someone to watch it. Yeah, I get it, ironic. - gosix, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7So in a few weeks there will be an article on Digg:
Digg got my Article, "Digg got my YouTube video on Good Morning America," on Good Morning America!
Sheesh, I hope I said that right. - spidoman, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8ABC is idiotic, both the Backstreet Boys and Numa Numa video did not start or even make it big because of YouTube. And "The most popular site on the internet"? Just STFU ABC, stick with lost.
Wow, showing the Mom of Croutching Tiger Hidden Dragon and "This is just a typical video you'd find on our site" Wow, way to point out how much crap is actually on your site. - elroy, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8I was hoping this was the guy who chugged the diet coke and swallowed a handfull of mentos.
BLUUUURGHH!!! Best video ever. - Shinta, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Dragostea din Tei, by Ozone, if you mean the Numa Numa Dance by Gary Brolsma.
- sims, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5It was also just shown in Australia at 30 minutes ago on Channel 7's Sunrise.
- bigbird1040, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Freudian slip at 6:00-6:01 into the video...one of the YouTube creators calls something 'black' instead of 'back', but makes no other mistakes during the interview. One of the interviewers is black.
- davidlow, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5I thought it was fascinating to see these two interviewers, the two women talking to the creators of YouTube, asking them questions about the "back stories" of some specific videos. As if they have anything to do with the content!
It was all very friendly and entertaining, but those same misconceptions about current internet technology are present in our legislators, and when they draw on those misunderstandings to create misguided laws you have to call it ignorance.
In particular, the idea of holding ISPs responsible for file sharing traffic that goes through their routers, just like holding YouTube responsible for its content, is just plain wrong. In this clip is was the seed to a delightful conversation, but in congress the same wrong ideas put billions of dollars into the wrong hands. - heysuburbia, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4@Amything
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92IWqopETfI - heysuburbia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The shirts, stickers, etc. are a joke.
I haven't made a dime, in fact I've lost money through bandwidth.
There goes your theory, douche. - mapkinase, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Why would anyone who knows what YouTube is would like to wait for every Wednesday's stupid Good morning America while they can watch top YouTube video everyday, well,... on YouTube???
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4yeah... i remember this video :D
good goin' - adougherty, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3I noticed the same thing. The GMA hosts would ask questions about the background and history of a video and the YouTube guys would just go quiet.
What I find particularly interesting is, how this iconifies the difference between the large production studios, and the growing trend of indie productions. I believe that lack of understanding further underscores the "war" between organizations such as the MPAA and the common person. - EasY_TargeT, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Ha! Gotta love those Chinese basckstreet boys.
- titlesaysitall, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Congrats man, that had to be the best vid on YouTube.
- techlinks, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-788979531019313304&q=here+it+goes+again
Heres the OKGO video. They have a download on their site, but it's not even 320x240. - heysuburbia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1haha, me too
- ShadySpace, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2"Fair use - net neutrality - imposing sanctions - war is bad - aclu - eff - racism bad -etc"
How are any of these things bad in the slightest sense? - Badam89, on 06/23/2008, -0/+1The Link no longer works.
- BigAl109, on 04/13/2008, -0/+1Can anyone help me out here? I click on the link, and it just goes straight to some website full of AD's...
- heysuburbia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1My name is *****, close...
- heysuburbia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Centerfuse in the house!
- sushiguy, on 03/19/2008, -0/+0Digg got your video on Digg and thats better than Good Morning America
http://shop.lastfood.com - 0x0000ff, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2search for OK GO treadmill on youtube
- zforrester, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Mohanned
Dude, right on. I agree 100% - zforrester, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1actually it's black instead of block
kinda funny though - xXShadowstormXx, on 10/12/2007, -5/+5Pretty ironic that this video is hosted on YouTube.
Congrats man! =) - jchri09, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I read somewhere that these guys are paying around a million a month for bandwidth.
Can anyone confirm or deny this?
I love youtube it is a great gift from the Internet Gods. -
