Liberated

A new film site to distribute indie films, reports Mashable. Given there are now over 300 YouTube clones I thought Mashables list of “similar” sites was light. Sites like liberated also have the problem that to do the indie thing is not very niche-like and I suspect people for whom indie film is a lifestyle [...]

Dublin Calling

Talking to a couple of the people at the Irish Times recently it struck me how little impact blogging is having on the opinion forming duopoly of the IT and RTE. There are clubs and then there are folks lucky enough to sit on top of the opinion tree.
Despite Ireland having numerous newspapers and lots [...]

Is Web Flow a New Emotion?

James Corbett has an interesting post about programmes like Lost somehow echoing the kind of mindset we get into when blogging and surfing. A couple of times here on mediangler I’ve tried addressing the recent failures of TV drama particularly the reduction of drama to dilemma.
I’m biased of course but I think this is the [...]

WRIPE Readier

WRIPE is readier than it was, especially for voting. Anybody fancy a trip over there? One of the features that isn’t clear enough from the home page is that you can click through to a section where you’ll find many more stories.

Blog Late Europe, Blog Dollars

Affiliate program literature abounds with one simple message. It is not property, property, property but it is something like location on the page, location on the page, location….
Keep reviewing your properties (websites)! Keep looking at where viewers are coming from and where they go. The most successful online publishers apparently change the position of ads [...]

Brightcove Draws Attention to Digital release

The Latest from Brightcove
I like this - it’s about breaking the Hollywood movie release logjam. mark Cuban’s been doing it by releasing movies to theatres, cable and DVD at the same time. Now an Indian Studio has joined in.

“….today marked a somewhat important milestone in this arena.  While not one of the major US studios,” [...]

The Sorry State of TV Feeds

I’ve been trying for some weeks now to patch together a number of feeds from TV programming on the web. Stations like Roo, Brightcove, Akimbo, Rawflow, LX-TV. Well they sometimes have feeds and sometimes not and sometimes the feed is about the TV/web business rather than about the actual programming that a station or service [...]

The Information Age Changes When….

People’s concerns over issues other than Web 2.0, Microsoft and Apple start to flood the intraweb. This is one of my enduring concerns. Web 2.0,MSFT and Apple aren’t as important as global warming, food choices, history, and how we look or want to look and feel about ourselves. It’s a freak of the recent times [...]
