Revver is proud to announce that we’re now part of the LiveUniverse, erm, universe. We are thrilled to join forces with this leader in the online video and social networking space. LiveUniverse’s network of sites is visited by more than 55 million unique users each month, which means that we will have the opportunity to expose our creators to a much bigger audience. So stay tuned - great things are on the way.
There were heaps of iPhone parodies floating around the interwebs last year, but it’s been a few months since we’ve seen a new one. This one comes hot out of the oven from the same crew that brings you the gnooze every morning. It goes great with Apple’s new slogan: think literal.
Elders of the Dark Tower (of Xxoron) (right?!) gear up for tonight’s season finale of Project Runway Season 4 with this fierce parody. Ferocia Coutura (Christian Siriano) is no match for the ferociousness of Werewolf. Fierce fierce fierce.
You should all remember Bill Bowles from the travel series he produced last year under the name MyNameIsBill. If you don’t remember Bill, then you have a bad memory or you missed his show completely. In either case, you should watch all ~130 of the episodes. Seriously. It would be worth it.
Bill is now back Stateside, and he’s got a new project called Meet The Play Group that presents an artuflly awkward and mockumentary-style look at a fledgling theater group based in San Francisco. Completely different from what he was doing before, but with his signature on it, we know it will be great.
Silverlake is a pretty well known LA neighborhood now, but even as recently as 5 years ago some born-and-bred angelenos would cock their heads and go all googley eyed at the mention of a neighborhood they hadn’t heard of. What’s that you say? There’s something east of Hollywood? It doesn’t happen so much anymore now that everyone roundly acknowledges that the east side is where it’s at, but if you still haven’t ventured east of the 101 on Sunset, check this out and then go visit for yourself. You can thank Turn Here for turning you on to something new and good, and see more videos about interesting locales and businesses here.
It’s been a whole week since we released something new, so we thought it was time to snaz up the player. From now on, all embedded players will be fluorescent green and will come with a lolcats.tv logo. No, not really. Truth is, from now on players will look however you want them to look. We added a new preference page that allows you to change the color, size, logo, and menu options. You make the changes in your account, and any embed code you grab from Revver.com will display them.
The guys over at loadingreadyrun.com couldn’t even wait for us to announce it. They quickly ditched the default black color for their own Commodore 64 look, and the results are geekily gorgeous.
The sky is pretty much the limit. In fact, if you have a blog about the sky, you might like this:
But if you’re a video-blogging hot coal walker, this might be more your thing:
You get the point. We want your site to be yours completely, and that means you choose the look of the player. Just another part of our plan to be the best and creator-friendliest video site around.
Let’s catch back up with iChannel, because it’s been a little while. “I” is pitching an advertising campaign to Pilgrim Bread, his sort-of girlfriend, iGirl, is now completely enmeshed in the whole interactive thing (she has her own Blackberry), she wants him to ask her to move in, and both of them have possible side love interests (or at least they both think the other one does). Things get uber meta in this episode as i starts sending comments to iGirl under a fake name. Seems dangerous. Can the center hold? We’ll see.
I know it’s very un-web 2.0 of me, but I’m like the only person in the universe that’s not on Facebook. I’ve never really been able to articulate my distaste to the place, but then this video came along and helped me understand my aversion: I just don’t care enough about other people to enjoy friend updates. I’m selfish, sociopathic even, and if someone at a party tried to talk to me about people I didn’t know or care about I would flash the L-is-for-loser hand sign in their face and peace out. Harumph. And don’t even get me started on the other clowns at this party
A little ditty from VeryTasteful that is apparently completely true. Just close your eyes when the shot of Billy holding the hammer behind his back pops up.
Unrelated, but is there some kind of Epson Printer Commercial Contest we can submit this to? It would win.
