So it has come to pass, Verizon will offer TV channels through the Xbox 360 as one of the Xbox LIVE TV channels. However, it seems sort of useless if you're already a subscriber or if you're interested in coughing up a bunch more cash as an existing Xbox 360 owner.
If you read my previous article about Mixpo's new interactive video ads, called Frameworks (formerly Project Matisse I'm told), you know I had some questions I thought might need some expansion to get a better grip. So I went straight to the source, Walter Harp, Head Product Marketing dude (and main artful project namer?!), who ...
I think that we can now officially claim the time of the connected TV is upon us. Even Lenovo is now getting into it. I guess they weren't satisfied with simply passing Dell as second largest PC maker now they want to start busting in on companies like LG, Sony and Samsung. Sure, why not? ...
Time Warner Cable has announced that their TWCTV app is coming to Android Tablets but it won't allow you to watch TV, only to do some things like control your DVR and act as a remote. That's sort of a let down, really. The iPad app allows streaming of some channels at least.
I just got the scoop on Mixpo's new Frameworks from Walter Harp and he tells me there's some interesting things going on with them in the near future as well. Frameworks basically offer you a set of pre-made interactive layer formats to help advertisers easily implement interactivity in a variety of ways. They are customizable ...
I pulled out the video advertising and put it into its own article but I still wanted to talk about the rest of the stats that came out of comScore for last month. Like the 21.1 hours per viewer and the 42.6 billion videos both of which set an all time high, along with more ...
It fell to me to do a video gadgetry gift guide. Since I dabble in all things consumer electronics, I figured, why not? I'm going to break it up into price ranges because some of us aren't millionaires but we all have video gadget needs, right? Heck, I'd probably be happy to receive most of ...
comScore has released the October 2011 Video Metrix report and the first thing that caught my eye, which I prognosticated on over a month ago, was Tremor Video topping one billion video ads a month, and they did it... and are continuing to close in on Hulu who is just about 250 million ads up ...
Ooyala put out a kickin new infographic I thought I would drop on you as I was just contemplating the other day what the Kindle Fire might do for online video consumption and thought it might, pardon the pun, kindle some renewed viewing.
I get all sorts of fascinating stuff in my inbox. Granted, a lot of it doesn't quite fit into the coverage area here. Then again, a lot does, like this interesting bit of news I got from Playkast. It seems the TV auditions are now going online and social. It makes sense to me. Who ...
Microsoft is making big moves in the online video world. We know they're working on Xbox LIVE TV already which sounds like we will see the tech giant using their game console as a TV tuner for cable and other premium content. They already have Netflix, Hulu and the slowing dying Zune service on the ...
Wha?! Really?! Those sneaky so-and-so's! You might all recall me being a proponent of Samsung because of the way they've been handling their three screen strategy but now, they've outdone even my expectations. They just announced that they're in final talks to produce Samsung Google TV units. Then again, they already showed it off in ...
The Google TV team dropped an update on a couple of apps for the software before they cut out for the long Thanksgiving weekend. As I'm on the verge of doing the same, I thought I would pass along the information which includes a new and improved Photos app with a Discover feature, and an ...
Wow, when it rains, it pours. After showing some seriously strong growth for years, Netflix, faltered with some bad business choices. They chased off hundreds of thousands of loyal customers, offered a flat, self-serving apology and lost a major chunk of their content. The culmination of all of this? They expect to post a loss ...
Video advertising is quickly seeping into every aspect of online life, and why shouldn't it? With the new partnership between Innovid and SpotX, advertisers using the latter can use the iRoll Apps of the prior and create interactive and social video advertising campaigns out of standard pre-roll creative.
