CollegeHumor, which peddles fraternity pranks and workplace stunts to an online audience of millions, is making the move to television this Sunday. The employee-actors have come of age on the Internet, but they nevertheless value the exposure that television can offer. When Ms. Schneider posted a photo of a “College Humor Show” poster at MTV’s studios in Times Square on her Tumblr blog this week, she captioned it, “By far the most exciting thing to ever happen to me.” “TV is more exclusive,” she said in an interview. “People have a different relationship with TV” than with online video, she said. Like “The Osbournes” and “The Hills” before it “The College Humor Show” will once again redraw the line between scripted shows and reality programs. “As the line gets blurrier,” said Sam Reich, the site’s director of original content. “I live in that blur.” So far the reactions look positive.

Viral Marketing Suggestions. At one time, when YouTube was new, ordinary people filled it with interesting content. But only 3 years later, after television content producers have forced them to remove millions of copyrighted video clips, we are starting to see an even more insidious phenomenon: the posting of "phony" videos on YouTube, for marketing purposes. NBC has just been caught posting a bogus parody of their show "Heroes". Not to mention Agency.com's pathetic attempt to get an ad contract with Subway, lonelygirl15, and many more that have yet to be discovered. Best of all, you can now find how-to instructions on marketing websites showing how to use YouTube for viral marketing. People are starting to notice....yet it is becoming more and more commonplace. (And I won't even mention how many MySpace and Facebook pages are viral in nature.)
