Great Content is not Necessarily Professional Content
Cross Media week touched on this issue in a session led by Gabe McIntrye of xolo.tv. Xolo is suddenly a multifaceted business so cutting to the quality content chase takes a detour.
Gabe makes vlogs for clients. That’s one line of business. See here at vlogbymini.de, a multilingual site all about the mini and mini […]
XOLO.tv - On the Road to Content 2.0
Having blogged earlier about video aggregators (see below) I came across XOLO.tv,a Dutch aggregator of video bloggers. XOLO are yet to launch but I’m in Amsterdam at the end of the week and hope to meet the guys there and will report back.
Corporate Blogs
Surprised to find these two companies do plenty of blogging, podcasting. Surprised because I’m still trying to persuade the Wall St Journal that things have moved on in Europe (and the Journal is not persuaded that their client base uses this stuff).
“DaimlerChrysler (uses podcasting and music downloads for marketing comms) and Siemens (big internal […]
Greengrass TV - In Beta but a Contender for Content 2.0
Greengrass is a TV channel aggregator and distributor that uses a pre-pay model to iron out the costs of doing a heafty amount of streaming:

Send 2 - European Web 2.0
This is from Chris Garrett media reporting on a codevelopment with YesThat.:
Over the past month or so we’ve been working with our partners YesThat on what the cool people call a web 2.0 application. Send2 is a cutting edge web app which allows users to integrate the full functionality of a calendar with SMS. That’s […]
Protopage - More European Web 2.0
Protopage is a start page application which at first glance lacks the elegance of Pageflake and the buzz around netvibes. The one implementation of protopage I’ve seen is the Irish Web 2.0 portal.
This is what the protopage guys have to say about it.
# Use it to catch up with news from hundreds of sources (including […]

Pumps.ie looks like the prototype for numerous pricing comparison applications. With Pumps you can point your mobile phone at the pumps’ […]
That Old Pipeline Again - Eprécis
The people behind eprécis are clearly having fun.
The application summarises any text document (I know Word has that functionality too) but eprécis applies it to search returns.
In fact they have many applications areas but I trialed only the search returns element.
Enter your search term and eprécis will give you back your regular search return […]
In the Pipeline - European Web 2.0
European companies have been hoping for, and being funded for, a form of automated content brokerage for about 15 years now. Why it should obsess the European mind is a mystery but Telefonica researchers are at it now in conjunction with teams from Holland, France, Germany and the UK. Motorola is a partner.
The relevance of […]
In the European Web 2.0 Pipeline
Citizen media to the average net-adept person means Joe Average going out and making movies to upload in the hope of being spotted as a future film maker or it means mobile phone movies that might get picked up on the nightly news, or it’s something that’s going on in the Bay area. But it […]
