Fun with Videos

Everyone likes home videos. Remember how popular America’s Funniest Home Videos was? Now things have been updated for the web and web 2.0. The videos used to be called home videos. I guess they have a new name, user generated videos, since everyone is putting their videos online. It’s fun seeing normal people doing things we find funny or entertaining. I love watching these videos on sites like YawpBox just to see what’s up.

I am rather surprised that we haven’t had a new TV show that highlights the best videos out there, kind of like an AFH for the internet age. Well, now there is. YawpBox gives you the chance to not only have you video on their website, but share it with a nationwide TV audience so everyone can see your video. Lex and Terry have a new TV show filmed in front of a live student audience where they highlight the best videos from YawpBox for showing on their weekly program.

You can take the Lex and Terry Challenge on come up with videos in the topics they have listed. You come up with an entertaining videos and it might be on TV and give you your 15 minutes of fame. You’ll have fun. Me? I am getting out our video camera right now.
