I think I'm going to write an e-book... call it "Drop Out Of College & Learn Video.” I had this revelation after an email chain with ReelSEO writer, Chris Atkinson. See, Chris and I are not only co-workers, but we’ve been friends for more than a decade. And one of the things that defines our ...
I would consider myself to be cautiously optimistic about Ultraviolet--Hollywood's big gamble on digital movies. The service would provide a digital locker that consumers can "fill" with movie purchases, while the films themselves live in the cloud. I'm optimistic because I'm ready for digital media, and I'm tired of stacks of DVDs. But I'm enormously ...
We've been sharing some video interviews from my recent trip to the Machinima LA offices, including a tour of the facility and a chat about the company's belief that YouTube is social.

YouTube's Robert Kyncl, the head of global partnerships, took the stage today at CES 2012 and made some big, bold claims that ought to get any video marketer's engine running.

You've probably seen the news that Google Search is now infused with more personalized content from your Google Plus and Picasa accounts--I say you've probably seen the news because it's everywhere. They're calling it Search Plus Your World. I'm not interested in rehashing the details you have probably already read about. Besides... the real news ...

Poptent is a crowdsourced video service that connects companies in need of affordable video to filmmakers and directors. It's a bit like an auction of sorts, with brands posting creative briefs and videographers completing the job and competing to win the official gig. And earlier this week, during the college football BCS National Championship game, ...
I'm on a plane as I write this, and still working--see how dedicated I am to the cause? Anyway, there's a ton of emails in the inbox already today from CES (which is where I'm headed) and this one caught my eye because it's some big names that are getting into not only, original online ...
It's CES people and time to bring the RAIN! As in a downpour of awesome announcements on cool new tech, services and everything connected. What's been the big thing so far for me?

Since 2011 is over and we're rapidly hurtling toward the end of the world, or at least, the end of the Mayan calender, I asked everyone what they thought 2012 would have in store for online video. As I said in my online video advertising forecast, politics is going to be a major factor across ...

It's going to be quite the year for ...

At the same time I sent out my questions about how 2011 went down for online video advertising I also asked the industry luminaries what they thought would be big in 2012. Across the board in both video and ads I think that politics will be a major factor, after all, it's a quick, easy ...
