It's been a while since I talked about Wallstrip. Every since I cashed out, I started to focus on other entities but that is not to say that Lindsay and Howard aren't doing a great job. PS. Lindsay changed her hair and looks fantastic. I GUARANTEE the hair alone will lead to more work. This is one of my favorite Wallstrips ever even though the Dow has moved down ever since. Of course you have to know the original video appreciate it. I don't know if it's the song or seeing people actually show enough compassion to give each other a hug, but either way I know I truly enjoy it.

Been very busy and didn't get to put this up yesterday. Great show on Oakley from Wallstrip.

In case you missed yesterday's Wallstrip it was a classic. My favorite one yet.

They're everything Wallstrip is hoping to be. When I look at Wallstrip , I don't watch it for the content of the show. I watch it to follow the show as a business entity. What shows are most popular? What shows bring the most comments and banter? What are the different ways that it can be monetized. How can it improve and make the site more sticky? Today they ask these types of questions to the creator and host of Rocketboom, a vlog that has gone to levels all other vlogs wish to reach. Rocketboom has peak days of 300,000 while other vlogs think they are successful with 30. What makes Rocketboom so watchable? A few minutes with Joanne, the host, and you see why. There is no hotter host on the web. She spews sexy and sophisticated. She 's as cool as a cucumber and that voice. She is just so damn cool. I didn't expect the founder, Andrew Baron to be such a geek and so "uncool" but he knows what he is doing . He is the anti Kevin Rose. Howard could certainly kick his ass but why would he want to when he was handed so much great info on how to build a vlog. The thing that surprised me is the lack of funding. He has no backing and is totally internally funded. How awesome would that be? It's all his. He can do anything he wants because he owns the whole thing. The downside may be that he could be limited by this as well. He hosts the site and the bandwidth is a killer. Thus the consumer camera, simple set and website.

I have no doubt in my mind that Wallstrip can easily be as popular as Rocketboom. I think the community can be even "stickier" than theirs. The crowd drawn to Wallstrip will have a huge amount of disposable income compared to other sites' viewers and we all know advertisers love this. On the downside, with the VC funding they are most likely to burn cash compared to a guy paying for things out of his own pocket. The typical success stories go like this. Idea, idea is put to test, idea works, idea becomes popular, idea becomes so popular extra money is needed, vc guys step in, site sold to big firm, everyone becomes rich. Wallstrip just skipped a few steps but could have the same ending. Right now the interview was little guy interviewing big guy. Give it time and Wallstrip will be the big guy. How do I know? Because I will be involved and when I get involved things succeed.

Today's Wallstrip is pretty funny. The part I find most interesting about the clip is the fact the clip is actually sponsored by Lifelock. From a business standpoint, this is a great idea. They get a free ad and you can still be funny and informative while working with the sponsor. I throw ideas for things to Howard every once in a while and this was one of them. Not the sponsor thing but the dating game idea. I think you'll like it. Watch it and then go over to Wallstrip and chime in.

PS tell them Shane sent you in the comments and after 20 Shane referrals Lindsay will send me an autographed photo.

Another great "MOS" piece as they call it in the biz. In my opinion another dog stock. Two days in a row Wallstrip has had stocks that will never be in my portfolio. I was lucky enough to have parents that paid for college but then again I went to the University of Alabama and received a value education. I save every month so my daughter can go to any school she wants and not have to worry about starting life with debt. There are enough challenges to deal with in this world without adding education debt to it. Another interesting aspect of this clip is the fact that Lindsay only interviewed people shorter than her. She's either very tall or very selective interviews. Nice ad by revver at the end. "French Maids". Revver, you're embarrassing yourself. Of course it would work on my site. Enjoy the clip and make sure to comment

I love Taser guns and anything that can stop violence without killing someone is an obvious positive. Why people oppose this thing I'll never understand. Until the government gives Taser a break like they do the gun companies then the stock may never be a good investment. They can't sell enough Tasers to offset the cost of lawsuits. And as Lindsay pointed out, the NRA, like most special interest groups has grown into an all powerful group. They used to fight for the right to bear arms but that is no longer the case. They fight only for the right to bear guns. One last thing I'd like to point out before you watch and then go comment, Revver needs to figure out how to match up the proper ads to the videos they show. The Taser vid has a kids video game ad right after it. How ironic is that? Nobody is going to make money if the ads aren't somewhat geared to the subject of the vids. C'mon Revver I'm trying to help.
