One of the best things you can do in video that you can’t do in text, or even audio, is explain things. You know, like a tutorial. Guy Kawasaki has a great article about tutorials here. This week I sat through eight hours of companies pitching themselves to a panel of experts at SXSW. It [...]
Win A WPUnlimited Professional WordPress Theme
Just recently I’ve updated my blog theme to the WPUnlimted theme, which I really like. It’s a powerful, professional, modern type of theme that is in the new wave of wordpress themes that “do it all for you” without having to know how to code.

Promiscuous Posting = Video Spamming?
I use Tubemogul to upload videos all of the web. My friend Steve coined this term on our online video podcast as promiscuous posting. Pretty clever, eh? So is this spam?

The Death Of The A-list
It’s July 2008. Robert Scoble walks the early morning iphone3G line yelling “you’re live on the internet” while broadcasting live on his Nokia phone via Qik.com.

Believe me, it’s a whole different world to create those videos. There’s concept strategy, scripting, pre-production, production, post-production, etc… And [...]

Again, the entire point of doing these videos is to showcase the power of web video both as an educational and [...]
How YouTube Is Missing Out On $1.2 Billion A Year By Not Having A Business Channel
Why doesn’t YouTube have a business channel? They have channels for musicians and experts and journalists and more, yet no place for businesses to upload their content. Why? Well, it could be that as of the time of this writing, there is hardly any business-type video content in existence. By this I mean that businesses [...]
Can The iphone 3G Do Video After All?
On this week’s “Video Ninjas” over at Geekcast.fm, Steve and I talk about how the iphone 3g “could” still be able to do video. For details give a listen to the podcast below. 1938media seems to think Steve Jobs could have turned it on if he wanted. We tend to agree. Update: It looks like [...]
