DISQUS

You are right to some degree.. but you need to go from 30yr to 3-5yr to this year to this quarter to right now. If you are just focusing on now you miss the context of where you want to be and where you are going.

But don't be a slave to your world view. Try lots of stuff, keep what works, throw out what doesn't, and UPDATE your vision at least quarterly.

Oh, I'm not sure I know what to say. But I have to say SOMETHING!. maybe I Can Haz Vista?

Andrew, congratulations. This is indeed a great day for Rocketboom, and a great day for internet video!

I've known David Worthington for a long time, and he's one of the more tech-savvy reporters on the beat. Not an idiot by a long shot. Maybe you need to rethink your assumptions, and read the article more closely. Quotes in the article from MSFT clearly say that its a research project and 10 years off if at all.

Of course you can always embed our high quality Revision3 player and bypass Youtube...

Cool hack though!

Who will the Jets pick for number 1 this year. And will I see you and AJ on TV?

We've obviously not done a good job explaining to you how many viewers we have, here at Revision3. We routinely get 200,000 or more people watching every Diggnation episode, far more than your thousands or tens of thousands.

But I hear you on short vs. long-form. There's room for both kinds of shows. That's why our latest show, Scam School, tops out at about five minutes. Check it out at www.scamschool.tv ...

And if you'd like to understand our viewership better - we deliver more than 4 million videos a month through our existing channels - let me know.

We have a discovery system out there, one that drives lots of sampling and makes hits. It's called iTunes (and to a lesser extent the Zune Marketplace). The fine folks managing the video areas of those sites are the new network programmers. Want to build an audience? Get them excited about your product.

Don't believe me? Get an Apple TV and hook it up to your HDTV. Then explore the Favorite HD video podcast area. Or pick up the new Zune and try some free video from the Marketplace.

Niche audiences, engaging hosts that come from those communities (experts, not actors) and leveraging existing audiences where you can. That's the path to success today in online video.

Oh, and buying those new network programmers coffee every now and then doesn't hurt either.

I think you were saying that directly to Elliot Spitzer.

Agree 100%. Nicely done.

Why frontpage? Because I'm lame... and I haven't had time to redo it.

Got any suggestions?

I have the WORST name to spell. Everyone wants to put an "a" or an "h" into it. It's funny, because you just do it the way it sounds.. LOUD (which I am), ER, and then BACK.

As for Robert, I still think one of the biggest mistakes I made at TechTV (and I made a lot of them) was not hiring him back when it was ZDTV in the late nineties. Now, of course, he's untouchable .

On the tech side, we're still working the kinks out of the studio. For Chris Coulter, what do you recommend, show-wise, that we do? What do you watch? I agree on the writing, that's something we're trying to address.

Thanks Robert! Stop by anytime.

I can't believe I just put the apostrophe in Its.. Sorry. can't edit.

"It's not software, it's a form of punishment".

OMG, truer words could not have been spoken.

Happy Birthday!!!!
