At Jippidy.com we believe that the future of search is user generated and this is virtually the best way of keeping content fresh and up to date. Many times you're search results are stale and out of date.

The local game is very complicated. As everyone knows by now, video is very exciting. I think in the next few years people will discover that video is appropriate for certain areas of the consumer market, right now it seems like everyone wants to use video for everything. I think the small business arena will benefit the most from video which is pretty much the thesis behind Jippidy.com

Yahoo will need to do more to win the local search but they obvious have the capital to do it. I don't really like the current local platforms out there. Personally, I feel like we have to tear down all the current directories and start all over.

Re: Local news aggregator Fwix expands to 25 more cities

Looks like the local space is heating up. A lot of different applications are starting to pop up attempting to solve the inefficiency of local search as it currently exists. Its a very interesting time and at Jippidy.com we believe that there will be a winner in the few years. Hopefully its us. My only problem with data aggregators is that they do not serve the exact needs of a user at time but who know's it may work.

At Jippidy.com we're building a business based on number 23 and 24. We believe that the advent to video will drastically restructure yellow pages and classifieds as we currently know it. Jippidy.com plans to be at the forefront of this movement.

We are naturally a progressive society which means the internet will progressively steal market share wherever it can compete with an offline product. Every business owner will need an internet marketing plan. Print will continue to lose relevancy.

Interesting that in 2008 Facebook has only gotten bigger and stronger. I will say this, its not over yet. I think the social game is still relatively early and their may be other models that will emerge and be just as dominant.

The whole local business space is rapidly changing and integrating new technologies. I think the future of business directories are user generated and social. I believe this will help keep the content fresh and up to date. Jippidy.com is one such user generated small business video yellow pages.

There are obviously issues with the whole review format as it currently exists. Our view is that reviews will always be important but down the road people will use is as a secondary tool to video. This is part of the thesis behind jippidy.com

Re: Adjusting the Local Picture – The Online Video Opportunity

Google may not have the sales force to do this but my guess is once it turns lucrative and people they do the math, the'll quickly jump into the space inorganically (read acquisition). But I guess they could also build a sales team fairly quickly and easily. But great article, this space is starting to heat up.

I concur with your comment 100% Nick, which is why we at Jippidy.com are trying to expand beyond just Jippidy. We see the value of video and believe that it will be a focal point but we also understand the value of being "Social" and how important user generated content is as well. We're not just video.

Re: Right of Publicity – Most Overlooked Legal Issue with Online Video

George — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 20:56:21 -0000

We shoot local business videos but we shoot anything from small restaurants to large clubs. My question is: How do you mitigate the legal risk when you're shooting a club with 1,000s of people? There's no way they can all sign documents. Up until now, our understanding is that you need to have a sign saying filming in progress, which we clearly display; In addition, I've always understood that the business owner is the only permission needed. What are your thoughts?

Re: Right of Publicity – Most Overlooked Legal Issue with Online Video

George — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 21:17:27 -0000

How do you deal with large crowds like night clubs? I don't see much of a difference when compared to filming sporting events or concerts under these circumstances there aren't any signed documents although I'm sure its compared in some the fine writing on a purchased tickets. Along those lines doesn't a patron give their consent when they step into a restaurant or a nightclub?

Re: Video Search Steals Revenue Out of Your Pocket?

George — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 15:29:18 -0000

I agree I think people will have to start to use their video as a form of marketing their website and additionally they will need to have a niche website. The longrun goal should necessarily to make one viral video but to somehow use your video to promote a niche product that way, when someone sees a video you've made, they'll know they can visit your website for similar content.

Re: Social Media & User-Generated Video – The Power Of Trust

George — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 14:19:19 -0000

I agree with the article but I felt it was fairly vague in the areas that would have been most useful to startups. Specifically, with regard to a Youtube video, how does a brand "leverage the praise" from the masses? The general problem is there aren't too much from with regards to analytics for video as I understand it.

George — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 15:31:07 -0000

What about the bandwidth constrainsts? This issue hasn't been for the PC and I would only imagine that smart phones will only add to the growing problem. At some point, I would imagine that it may be too costly for companies like Google to keep hosting videos.

Re: MySpace + Hulu = YouTube Rival?

George — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 12:53:36 -0000

The toughest part will be trying to repair Myspace's image. I don't think the issue is necessarily the product, we've gone past that. Product inefficiency was what started the decline, now it just has a bad reputation from all aspects. Almost embarrassing to bring it up in a conversation. I hate writing negative comments but can't help it here.
