Will the jokers at JibJab give the CEOs of YouTube and MySpace some sleepless nights?

JibJab, the company whose ticket to fame was the “This Land” cartoon — making fun of both Bush and Kerry — during the 2004 presidential elections, has launched an online community for aspiring humorists, MediaPost is reporting.
Called JokeBox, the site has been in private beta for three months and during this period, they have had 40,000 registered members who have submitted over 25,000 written jokes, photos, audio and video files!
“We’re scaling really big, but we’re going to do it slowly,” said Gregg Spiridellis, who co-founded JibJab Media with his brother Evan. “Usually, with the viral videos, it’s a sprint for us to get them out to as many people as fast as possible. This project is more like a marathon.”
It is interesting that they have an email subscriber base of 645,000! Maybe I should focus more on building my email lists at various sites.
I bet these jokers… err. comedians are giving the CEOs of YouTube and MySpace some sleepless nights.
