New York Times: “Seeking Executive to Tame Digital Future”.
101 things you don’t want your system administrator to say.
BBC News: “Some 43% of Britons who watch video from the internet or on a mobile device at least once a week said they watched less normal TV as a result”. I know I watch a whole lot less TV than I did 12 months ago.
Business Week: “Anshe Chung, the virtual land baroness […] has apparently become the first millionaire in Second Life“.
Interesting video of Andrew Baron talking about using Podzinger to make Rocketboom fully searchable. It works by automatically transcribing the audio and then re-rendering the video in flash so that you can link straight to a particular spot in a video file. He also talks about using the online community to create subtitles for foreign viewers. Great idea but not so good if you have a small audience.
BBC News: “Galacticast, a weekly sci-fi comedy shot in a Montreal apartment, is one of the few with enough talent and imagination to be truly funny and watchable”. One of my personal favorites.
BBC News: “Internet video is coming of age, with the best amateur film-makers attracting millions of online viewers”.
