One of the things I was interested in talking with him about is how Machinima goes about generating their wide range of online video content.

Back in April I wrote about YouTube channel karminmusic, whose cover of Chris Brown's "Look At Me Now" had gone viral. That same video went on to land in the top ten most viewed videos of the entire 2011 year, but was far from the musical duo's only hit. After a few more hits, they ...

YouTube is trying really hard to make YouTube.com your new TV. Instead of turning on the television and flipping through the 338 channels, they're hoping in the near future you'll just open a browser and go to YouTube... and surf their millions of "channels" instead. That's what the most recent redesign was all about--helping you ...
