Big Media conglomerates NBC and Fox just don’t understand that the key to success in online video is niche media, not Even Bigger Media. That’s why it’s a bad idea for them to enter a joint venture for their video site, when each of them is technically capable of hosting and superdistributing their own content. […]
Some n00bs don’t get it: the bad PR averted through overreaching censorship is often more than offset by the ill will accrued through overreaching censorship. Last week, grocery chain A&P fired brothers Mark and Matthew D’Avella for filming their school project Produce Paradise in their store.
Apparently, A&P can’t handle a little thing called freedom of […]
It’s amazing how you can make total fools of the Motion Picture Association of America simply by reminding them that the global market is bigger than America. After a US court orders torrent search engine TorrentSpy to violate their users’ privacy and hand over user data for a silly MPAA fishing expedition, TorrentSpy simply cuts […]

I’ve been enjoying this girl for a while now, so I thought I’d introduce her to you. Marina, a philologist who goes by the YouTube nick “hotforwords”, illustrates the origins of words with sexy photos of herself.
If my English teachers looked like Marina, I’d have written The Great American Novel by now.

How geeky can you get? Find out at SciVee, a video-sharing site for presenting scientific papers. Niche-specific features include figures, references, and full papers.
My biggest beef: no embeds. It’s a huge missed opportunity: SciVee embeds could incorporate SlideShare-like features for the figures and Scribd-like features for the papers. Then again, bloggers probably don’t want to […]
