Marketing 101

Weezer videos always pick good concepts. The one with the Muppets made that crappy song playable on TV.

But this one is going to be viewed online and played on TV like crizazy.

I didn't embed because YouTube is slowly moving to H.264 encoding and I wanted tot alk about few other things. There's a high quality version of the video available on a link just below the number of views. It looks pretty sweet.

I've been noticing more vimeo stuff around lately. It has a nicer interface (no contest) and supports HD. YouTube/Google is doing a decent job of slow-rolling their changes but they're going to have to move faster to keep up. Drop the beta-player option, just make it the default (it's been a while, guys. is it really not ready?). I wonder what the transfer rate diff is for the high quality version is. I have a hard time believing it would be much higher (H.264 is that good); I'd make the high quality version the default as well.

Wow! What a great advertising campaign. They even made other videos with other "famous" youtube people.

Will it blend?
