Among the first guests were an aspiring actress, Justine Ezarik, who created “iJustine” to share videos about her life; and Dane Boedigheimer, who started “The Annoying Orange,” an animated series about talking fruit. The weekly series is hosted by Shira Lazar, a longtime video blogger who contributes to CBS News. The segments run for 8 to 10 minutes each. In an interview, Ms. Lazar said the celebrity quotient on YouTube was high enough to support a stand-alone series. The talk show, in a sense, gives an edge to aspiring video stars. One of the chief lessons learned so far, Ms. Lazar said, is to have a predictable schedule and a reliable format. The “Partners Project” posts a new interview each Thursday. (New York Times)
