YouTube Video Of The Day – The human flipbook
This little video is a great look behind the scenes of the production of a flipbook. However, this flipbook was a little different as, instead of having an actual flipbook, the animation was featured on a series of T Shirts sported by one very patient model. Good work!
YouTube Video Of The Day – Puff Daddy perfume advert
How do you sell you new perfume to the ladydeez? Well, if you’re Sean P. Fiddles Diddery Diddums Puff Diddy Daddy Combes-over, then you do it by making sweet gooey love to them. Watch this video, chuckle and watch out for the dry heaves.
YouTube Video Of The Day – Morph turns green
The Friends of the Earth have got their own YouTube channel and have loads of videos uploaded to encourage you to be a bit greener. One cracker is one featuring the iconic Morph (if he tells me to be green I will! But then again, I’d burn tyres if Morph told me to). Click here to see more videos from Friends of the Earth.
YouTube Video Of The Day – Sesame Street meets Casino
Before I say anything about this video, let me point out that it really isn’t safe for work (or NSFW if you prefer). Now your appetite has been whetted, I’ll tell you that the video you’re about to watch is a great little video mash-up of Casino and Bert and Ernie. You’ll never see Sesame Street characters swear like this (unless you prod and poke Oscar the Grouch enough)
Online TV set for steady growth in the UK, but behind music
You can treat many analyst predictions with a pinch of salt, but at least they’re trying to figure out how fast technologies will take off (and who stands to trouser the revenues). Screen Digest has just released a report predicting that by 2011, online TV will be generating £181 million of revenues here.
That includes catch-up and on-demand services from the big broadcasters, but also online telly firms like YouTube and Joost (pictured), and download services like Apple’s iTunes. It specifically says that the tradiitonal broadcasters will be threatened by the rise of these new online firms, too. If I was ITV, I’d be trying to buy Joost right now.

YouTube Video of the Day – 100 yard football pass
If there was some kind of competition for throwing a ball very very far into the arms of your mate, then this guy would surely win it hands down?

Top 5 YouTube starlets: Mia Rose, Esmee Denters, Marie Digby and more…
There’s a definite gender difference when it comes to musical YouTube popularity. The men who become hits tend to be the silly ones, miming to the Backstreet Boys or obscure Moldovan pop songs.
Meanwhile, the women who make it big through YouTube tend to be just talented singers uploading home videos of themselves singing cover versions or their own material. Okay, so they’re invariably young and attractive too, although that wouldn’t count for much if they couldn’t sing.
FIQL TV: Turn your iTunes playlists into streaming YouTube video channels
As you’ll know if you’ve ever wasted half a day watching Shakira’s small and humble mountains greatest hits, YouTube is full of music videos. Some Web 2.0 firms have noticed this, and are launching services that make use of it.
The latest is FIQL TV, which lets you upload your playlists from iTunes, Windows Media Player and other music apps, and then turns them into streaming video channels by hunting for your songs on YouTube (if it can’t find anything for a song, it ignores it in the playlist). You can also create them on the site from scratch by typing in song titles and band names.
