[videoblogging] Youtube to TV (duh)
Youtube announced some deals so you can watch videos on your TV. I highlighted the sentence where they talk about Open TV. It's interesting the language they use. I guess if anyone can pry open the doors to network/cable TV, it would be them. Jay http://www.youtube.com/blog?entry=sDFlZe7FwJI Have you ever wanted to just sit on your couch and watch YouTube on your TV? Well, now that's possible via YouTube for Television, initially available through the Sony PS3 and Nintendo Wii game consoles at www.youtube.com/tv. Currently in beta, the TV Website offers a dynamic, lean-back, 10-foot television viewing experience through a streamlined interface that enables you to discover, watch and share YouTube videos on any TV screen with just a few quick clicks of your remote control. With enlarged text and simplified navigation, it makes watching YouTube on your TV as easy and intuitive as possible. Optional auto-play capability enables users to view related videos sequentially, emulating a traditional television experience. The TV Website is available internationally across 22 geographies and in over 12 languages. As previously blogged, YouTube has partnered directly with major TV and set-top box manufacturers to bring YouTube into the living room. Still, very few such devices today contain a Web browser or provide access to YouTube. *Our hope is that this site may help to accelerate an industry evolution towards open television access to Web video. *Over time, we plan to add support for additional TV devices that provide Web browsers. So grab some popcorn, gather your friends and sit back and enjoy the YouTube TV Website. -- http://ryanishungry.com http://jaydedman.com 917 371 6790 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[videoblogging] Feedburner is over, but
seems to just turn into something else: https://www.google.com/support/feedburner/bin/answer.py?answer=126303 Our vision when FeedBurner joined Google was to help bring the best of what FeedBurner offered in syndication publisher tools and solutions to the AdSense platform, and vice versa. In the time since the merger, the FeedBurner engineering team has joined the Google engineering team (but still focuses on the same set of tools for RSS monetization, analysis, and optimization) and is not managed as a separate company or subsidiary. jay -- http://ryanishungry.com http://jaydedman.com 917 371 6790 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
Re: [videoblogging] Feedburner is over, but
It's a good thing. I was wondering why Google were keeping Feedburner separate - I thought it showed a lack of commitment. But badly handled. Seems like they're rushing to make changes and save costs. Only a month to transfer all your feeds? After February 28th, you won't be able to access your account at feedburner.com How many people won't know about this, and will get caught out? I certainly didn't get an email, and I have a lot of different feeds with them. If you have a Feedburner feed, go login now and transfer your account to Google. I just did it. Three clicks. Took less than a minute to do it all.

[videoblogging] Re: Really Great Article on Media Trends and the Curation Economy
I have some constructive criticism in regards to the Flick Bank micro-payment idea; I don't think it will work, since making an average (non-fan) end user go to another site to buy credits and have him return back to the show's site, is making the whole experience hard for the user. Rule of thumb when it comes to user interactivity online: Make it fool-proof easy for them and they will find it useful. --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Adrian Miles adrian.mi...@... wrote: highly recommend you read Ted Nelson's original stuff from the 60s on hypertext and micropayments. He had a similar system except it also allowed for quotation and applied to all content. Ted's stuff won't help you build it but it might help solidify the ideas?

Suppose (and I'm sure many people have) that you had a system where folks could give you a few cents every time they looked at a video. Let's say you have a site with 10 videos that anybody can watch, and then you post 20 or 30 or 100 more that it costs anywhere from 1 cent to 10 cents ( or more) for people to watch. And on your site you have a little button that takes folks to another site where they buy credits - $ 5.00 or $ 10.00 at a time. Then they come back to your site, and click on a video that they want to watch, that costs 2 cents. They watch it and they are happy, and you've made two cents. Now when you reach a certain threshold - say $ 10.00, the Flick Bank deposits the money in your paypal account. You can let it gather if want. (Maybe the Flick bank pays interest??) The way this starts is that somebody puts together the Flick Kicks Bank, and starts signing up artists. Then Flick Kicks starts promoting the idea that people should get paid for their work. The problem that has held this back - that has stopped this process of mini-micro payments is that up until now, merchant account or Paypal, have charged $ .30 a transaction plus 2.7%. With this new system, Flicks has to pay for the transaction - but only once. So even though $ 5.00 represents 200-250 transactions, there's only one charge at the beginning and one that the artist pays, when they get their money. Anybody want to help me build this? cheers Adrian Miles adrian.mi...@... bachelor communication honours coordinator vogmae.net.au

Re: [videoblogging] Youtube to TV (duh)
though i am hoping for a better UI, the roku box i bought last year has been solid. http://www.roku.com i'm sure youtube will be made available on it along with the default netflix and amazon vod etc. prob hulu too. my tv is like a decade old... so the next tv i get will have all this built in... including an actual computer/os. it's this type of evolution that will at least make the Cable TV companies upgrade their antiquated piece of crap software and the 50 button remote control! sull On Mon, Jan 19, 2009 at 9:36 AM, Jay dedman jay.ded...@gmail.com wrote: Youtube announced some deals so you can watch videos on your TV.
