What Are YouTube Handles?
“Handles are a way for you to find and connect with creators on YouTube. Handles are unique and short channel identifiers separate from channel names, and they start with the “@” symbol”.

You can now choose your channel’s handle. As a reminder, in most cases, if you already have a personalized URL for your channel, we’ve reserved this for you as your handle. If you’re happy with that handle then you’re all set. If you want a different handle from the one we reserved, you can change it. If you don’t already have a personalized URL today, you’ll also be able to choose a handle. Keep in mind that handles are unique to each channel, so once a handle has been chosen, it can’t be selected by anyone else.

The Handles that are hyperlinked above will bring you right to our content for each of the specific websites and we hope that you help it all along by giving the Channels a subscribe. Now I should mention that while YouTube seems to be emphasizing these Handles more than the Proper URL for a Channel, that idea is still very important to outlets such as my own. I still need the numbers to be able to secure the proper name for the Ken Pierce Media Channel and the others need them to be that much closer to having all of this content monetized. I do like these Handles and am glad that something like this is out there since it seems easier to follow along with them in this fashion. I’m mostly glad to have been able to secure the most appropriate handle for each branding but since the Official URL is still a thing I’m going to keep on pushing that particular initiative. Right now that also seems to be the only way to list a YouTube URL on other Social Media profiles. The Ken Pierce Media family of brands or as my friends and I have labeled “The Ken Pire”, have been pushing the use of YouTube to the front of out creative activity of late. We even dove right into their recent push on the Shorts. My post about how that’s being used by our Media Center can be found by clicking HERE.

I thank you all for your continued interest in all of these media adventures and being on this creative journey with me. Onward we go, and I shall see you with the next topic soon for sure.

Ken Pierce Media Posts 25th Clip on TikTok

So I guess that I can say that I am getting more accustomed to using the TikTok profile after hitting our 25th post on that social network yesterday. When I first created the account I wasn’t sure how or even if I was going to use it because it didn’t feel like something that was going to be a lock for me. As more regular readers know, I created the account under the Ken Pierce Media banner and have been using it across both the PiercingMetal and Piercing Ken adventures. I’ve found it best to introduce myself and then say what site I was lending the time and Tok to at the moment. This TikTok finds me sharing one of the cool New York Comic Con takeaways which was my “Spawn Of Svengoolie” badge.

Hey there my friends, so it was only a few short months ago that I revealed the news that the Ken Pierce Media angle had dove into the no longer new but still dominating social network of TikTok. If you missed that post just click HERE to refresh your memory banks. Now the funny thing was that after I signed up I never got around to using it and then after a long time decided to share with our readership that we even had it. I just ended up using the profile to like-bomb a lot of my friends’ content to help their own profiles along. Now the time has come and I’ve finally done my first ever TikTok clip which has been embedded below for your easy consumption.

The Press Release:
After two years of celebrating virtually, hundreds from the toy community reunited in Dallas, TX tonight for the much-anticipated Toy of the Year (TOTY) Awards & Celebration, where the top toys and games of the year were named. Hosted by The Toy Foundation (TTF), the awards program recognizes the industry’s creativity and collective philanthropy, with more than $500,000 raised in support of TTF’s mission to bring the benefits of play to children in need.

In addition to naming the winners, the 23rd edition of the TOTY Awards showcased the industry’s support for TTF’s programs: delivering toys to children across the globe, funding play therapy in children’s hospitals, and introducing the industry to diverse, young talent. TTF’s local partners participated in the celebration, including three children’s non-profits — Dallas Metro, Rainbow Days, and The Birthday Party Project — which received toy donations; Baylor, Scott and White McLane Children’s Hospital, which was named one of TTF’s new play grants recipients; and the next generation of leaders from University of North Texas at Dallas, who congratulated and networked with winners.
