Fred, Buck Hollywood, MarkDayComedy, ill Doctrine on how to be a break out star

For http://pop17.com I went to http://newteevee.com live to interview some of their "break out stars" who were awarded best of 2008 at their conference in San Francisco. Fred Figglehorn, What The Buck, Jay Smooth and Mark Day Comedy were there to give you all some advice on how to gain internet success. I have heard some lame advice before (like show fake boobs or film a celebrity). However, these guys had some really insightful and helpful tips that I'm sharing with you today. Following their 4 tips could save you from having to "go too low" in order to get views and save your dignity.

Citizen Journalism Alana Taylor

For http://pop17.com I interviewed Alana Taylor about her blogging experience at NYU. Citizen journalism is changing journalism today. People with a cell phone camera or computer can take a picture or video that reports news and upload it to the internet. The barrier to entry is so low. What kind of news would the break? The story can be around any topic from politics to celebrity as long as it's fresh and breaking news, the quality of the content does not matter. Because it's less expensive to buy equipment and, if you are willing to pay a little more, anyone can do it at high quality. Citizen Journalist, Alana Taylor, http://alanataylor.com, created a controversial story when she blogged about her classroom activity. The journalism professor at NYU, where she attends, wanted the information removed and prohibited any other student from posting classroom activities to blogs or vlogs online. His reaction fueled a debate about journalism and citizen journalism online.

For http://pop17.com I went to make a video of my favorite youtubers. It was so awesome to meet everyone and score interviews. I thought that the meetup would be bigger- given the size of youtube! However, it wasn't as big as I expected. Though not 777 or 888 (both I missed) it was something special. Here is a list of the people I interviewed in this video:
