Some Rules of Web Video We Still Must Heed
1. First of all, I agree with Ashkan – it’s the content stupid . 2. Because of Rule 1, you can’t force advertisers. Google’s buy of YouTube created this panic and rush to monetize and put stupid buyout and valuation numbers in the heads of video start-ups. Eventually, whether YouTube clones or even earlier adopters …
FaceBook and YouTube Dilemma's…Not Revenue, but Valuation
The people at Craigslist got it right. They answer to pretty much no one. They have an awesome business and they hook guys up with naughty chicks. Facebook and Youtube…not so much. Another day, another drama unfolding about the revenue problems for both. Mark KookyZoookerberg is holed up like Yassir Arafat eating plums and sipping …
Web Video…More All-Time Highs Ahead and Welcome TubeMogul to The Blog
First of all, thanks so much to all the commenters and emails and new readers that keep flowing in…your comments are always read and appreciated and it’s fun to mix it up and goof off a little. I am headed to Toronto for the Summer with the family and will be working from KBC’s Toronto …
Web Video…So Many Problems, So Few Solutions…For Now!
Mark Cuban is pretty hateful on web video. He has hated YouTube forever. Hate does not make you money. His hate has been misplaced. He should have been hating on Jason Kidd so that he would not have blown the franchise. He does makes some excellent points about the problems for the web video industry …
YouTube as GOD?
So today YouTube is saying that everysite should be a YouTube. It is a smart, obvious chain of events in their pursuit of video dominance. The nerds are gaga. It’s what nerds do when API’s get released. When Adam at Wallstrip explained to me Wallstrip everywhere and was blogging the stuff a few years ago, …
YouTube Dominance Continues…The Great DEFLATOR!
Asset inflation is rampant. I have few opinions but have been adamant about how we are being inflated to death. I have blogged about WINflation and I still believe it, but as a total pie argument, inflation is a killer and chips away at us all in some way . Fred had a good post …
Peak Oil? Peak Dollar? Peak Market? or Peak my Nose
Fred is wondering about Peak Oil this morning – fishing for comments :) . I am with him…who the f$%ck knows. It’s not a waste of time, but I mean with the KINDLE on backorder, Fred needs to get his priorities straight :) . The Chairman just can’t get the dollar and Yuan carry trade …
Checking in on Viacom's You Tube Killer
Not really, but Henry did . His points are right on. Unfortunately, a better idea would be to settle the YouTube lawsuit, cut a deal with Google, and upload all those clips to YouTube instead. Why? Because however many die-hard Daily Show fans make the trek over to the Viacom site, a multiple of that …
Google/YouTube Video Adsense…A Historic Day for Web Video?
It seems that way with Google’s release of Video Adsense. Straight from the horse’s mouth . I sold half my Google position in celebration of the euphoria…at $617. Lot’s of nerd takes over at TechMeme. I like reading Ashkan on days like today who has an entrrpreneurial, ground floor media view on the announcement . …
