This is my first in a series of videos I made from my trip to Affiliate Summit West. In this video, super affiliate Zac Johnson talks about Facebook advertising and it’s pros and cons. This video was shot using a Flip Mino HD (video quality needs to be worked with) and was recorded at the Market Leverage affiliate dinner at the Switch restaurant at the Encore Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Does Blog Design Really Matter? (Video by Yaro Starak)

Nate Whitehill — Sat, 25 Aug 2007 02:49:47 +0000

Yaro Starak just posted a great video addressing the question of, “Does blog design really matter?” Yaro echos a lot of the same sentiments I have been expressing about the importance of a unique blog design.

In the video, Yaro says:

Blog design matters. Having a unique design is better than using a theme that someone else uses or using the default theme from WordPress, but with the disclaimer that most people will tell you – that it’s not the most critical aspect of your blog.

Yaro later repeats that:

…investing in a unique blog design is a good thing to do because it presents your blog in a really professional light, it makes you stand out from the crowd, and it can make the difference between converting someone from just passerby into a regular reader or subscriber. If your content is great and your blog design appears to be really well done, people generally look at you as someone who is in the blogging business seriously so they are more likely to come back and read your blog.

Great video, Yaro!

Google: Behind the Screen

Nate Whitehill — Fri, 22 Jun 2007 06:44:56 +0000

I just came across an interesting documentary on YouTube. It is 47 minutes long and is a behind the scenes look into Google. I haven’t watched it yet, but being the Google-lover I am, I am very excited to watch it. If you have the time, give it a look and tell me what you think.

Update – just finished watching the video. It contained a lot of stuff I already knew, but it was still an interesting look into the world of Google. Definitely worth the watch, especially for those who are curious about the mystique of Google.

Want to Work for Google?

Nate Whitehill — Mon, 14 May 2007 09:18:35 +0000

Want to work for Google? Who doesn’t? Google has become the Internet’s fastest growing phenomenon and their corporate culture is known as one of the best in the country. Working at Google is not easy, however. They receive over 1 million applicants each year and only hire 5,000! Talk about only hiring the best and brightest…

Check out the official Google Recruitment Video and tell me if you would like to work for Google.

Video: America’s Most Exclusive Car Club

Nate Whitehill — Sat, 21 Apr 2007 00:32:07 +0000

I uploaded this video clip to YouTube earlier today. This is a short video of 5th Gear visiting “America’s most exclusive car club,” the Van Horssen Group, which is located literally 5 minutes across the freeway from me here in Scottsdale, Arizona.

According to the owner, Ron Van Horssen:

Owners of super premium automobiles often drive them less than 1,000 miles each year, making it hardly worth the time and trouble to maintain them full-time. Van Horssen Group solves this problem – and goes far beyond the limits of traditional ownership – by offering national access to magnificent vehicles, which are impeccably maintained and delivered to your locations whenever you want to drive them.

What do you guys think? Is this a practical way to drive these supercars, or would you prefer to own them individually?

The Movie 300 – Glorious Guts and Gore! Wow!

Nate Whitehill — Mon, 19 Mar 2007 08:49:49 +0000

After a long and productive weekend, I saw the new movie 300 tonight. All I can say is, wow. An incredible gore-fest that certainly delivered non-stop action, amazing cinematography, and breathtaking visuals. This movie is not for those with weak stomachs – amazing action, but very gruesome. This was one of the first movies where almost every scene was shot infront of a green-screen. All of the backdrops were then rendered by computer graphics.

If you are into action, I highly recommend you check out 300. Check out this video detailing this super-intensive workout the actors had to do to give them their Greek statue look. Pretty amazing…

On another note, I have been working on a website for a new Scottsdale-based IT consulting business I will be launchiing this week. Also, finally, the new blog network I have been talking about will also launch this week. Watch for updates on that.

Apple Launches iRack and iRan

Saw this on TechZi. Hilarious video of Steve Jobs unveiling the newest Apple iTechnology products – the iRack and iRan.

Hello? It’s the First iPhone Commercial.

Nate Whitehill — Wed, 28 Feb 2007 08:47:59 +0000

In cased you missed the Oscars the other night, Apple ran its first teaser commercial for the upcoming iPhone.

Apple has always been great at marketing by keeping it simple. I believe simplicity is the best way to get your message across to an audience and I always design with simplicity in mind.

BTW, if anyone is interested in buying TheiPhone.net from me, make me an offer.

On another note, I am working on a redesign for my web development company, infinFX. We are planning to integrate a blog into the site containing useful articles about web development, design, marketing, and reaching your target audience. It is taking up a ton of time, but look out for that soon.

I will also have a special guest blogger on the infinFX blog. Some of you know him around the blogosphere but I will keep his identity secret for now.

When Does Bad Advertising Equal Effective Publicity?

Nate Whitehill — Mon, 19 Feb 2007 11:05:02 +0000

They say in the world of advertising, there is no such thing as bad publicity. As long as you evoke a passionate response from your audience, then you are getting their attention. But, when does lousy advertising equal good publicity? Apparently, when it is so hilarious that people can’t help but watch to see how much more ridiculous it gets.

Case in point, this commercial was submitted to YouTube and was later submitted to Reddit and received over 500 votes and gained over a hundred comments, and almost 200,000 views at the time I am writing this. I couldn’t help but wonder when it was going to end, and what their ad agency was smoking when they produced it. It is so unbelievable it almost seems like a parody. Just watch.

It’s just like, it’s just like, a mini mall! Hey, hey!

The Unbelievable Power of Google

Nate Whitehill — Sun, 18 Feb 2007 05:59:08 +0000

Google is the world’s #1 search engine and one of the most profitable corporations on the planet. In fact, based on its recent stock price of $513 per share, Google, which has made searching the Web easy and even fun, is larger than Disney, General Motors and McDonaldâ€™s combined. However, it is interesting to me that many non-savvy Internet users are still unaware that Google is anything more than a search engine.

We all know Google is working on some super-secret and incredibly powerful technologies, in the GoogleLabs, but how powerful do they want to become?

Watch this video and see how you feel about Google’s power and their goal to provide access to all information to all people anytime.

The Google Master Plan

What If Google Took Over the Media?

Nate Whitehill — Sat, 27 Jan 2007 12:22:26 +0000

Earlier tonight, one of my professors sent me a link to a video showing a very interesting look into the future. Imagine if Google contiuned on its current path of brand and media domination…and what would happen in the next 7 years. This video is a must-watch for anyone who is curious about the future of the Internet and news media.

I am interested to hear what others think of this video. Is this forecast possible? Impossible? Give me your thoughts.
