Re: Fred Wilson Dot VC

One of my favorites since I saw it at the film forum 10 years ago or so. I had a much lustier poster from this movie on my dorm room wall in college.

Yeah, a bit untrue to the film. I had the version Jack Palance's character would have authorized.

This discussion seems kind of silly. I know a couple bloggers who according to Compete.com have far less unique visitors but are earning over 75k from their blogs this year.

Niche matters, pageviews matter, ad networks matter...

But yes if ad money is your concern, comparing my anecdotal experience to yours, you are clearly doing something wrong. But then so am I.

classic song, classic soundtrack.

Always nice to see super-good-guy and hip-hop's voice of reason get a little more shine!

For the record, Ill Doctrine is the name of the show and not an alias or DJ name for Jay Smooth (which is already an alias and dj name unless he just lucked out on the last name sweepstakes).

Wow, talk about overload... Good article but this is really not written with our attention scarcity in mind.

Re: Death of the Blackberry Pearl

Just wondering, what made you decide on another Blackberry Pearl instead of the Nokia?

Asking because I need to shop for a mobile web device myself soon.

Their address book widget is very cool.

I'll be checking what they've got on Monday.

Re: The Evolution From Linear Thought To Networked Thought

rafi — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 12:13:03 -0000

My solution to this has been reading multiple non-fiction books at once. I may read a few pages of one topic in the morning. Then I'll pick up another in the afternoon. Maybe a third the next day.. then go back, etc.

Also skipping/skimming books when they're not delivering the goods.

By using this methodology you can totally scatter the linear content known as books. Makes it much more similar to my google reader experience.

Re: Reinventing Journalism On The Web: Links As News, Links As Reporting

rafi — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 09:28:34 -0000

The funny thing is links as news and links as reporting are not really new things on the web. The print news industry are just late adopters.

Goddamn look at this commenter list, it's a chartreuse reunion in here.

Maybe I should have emailed "recovering racist" Loren Feldman?

Tough comment Monkey Love.

I would hope that a veteran MC, who is especially known for his energy and presence, doing his most famous verse in front of a pumped up crowd would be able to "upstage" 2 smart-aleck bloggers.

Busta upstaged the world at that moment. We all still win for catching the moment in high quality video when we were supposed to be sitting in a press room watching the show on monitors.

Thanks all!

Emily,

That's high praise depending on what sites you frequent. CreditBloggers.com? Where were you when we were trying to find a sponsor the past month or so!

Re: Checks In Full Effects…

rafi — Thu, 22 May 2008 15:35:26 -0000

Thanks Scott. I think the video is at least as critical of banks as it is of check-cashing places.

I've been done wrong by banks and my ass has also been saved late fees on bills by having a check turned to immediate cash at a check cashing place.

That being said, if you're a savvy bank-customer and you're typically keeping money in your account, you will face much less cost from the banking system. Like Ben says banks are not so nice to poor people. If you're staying in the black than banks are a much better deal.

But f both of them! Credit unions always sounded like a better option to me.

rafi — Fri, 23 May 2008 19:40:59 -0000

Thanks Diana. I'm not sure where you got the "48 videos" number from.. maybe from director Cas' YouTube account? He has right around that many videos on there.

http://www.youtube.com/user/CasimirN

That YouTube account hosts our first videos: Ghetto Big Mac and Bodega as well as the Sundance series.

Everything else is up at the Internets Celebrities account:

http://www.youtube.com/user/InternetsCelebrities

You can also find all our vids on this blog if you feel like browsing through the archives at your leisure.

But your question has got me thinking and probably someday soon I'll put up a page with a clearer way to browse all our videos.

Robert,

Thanks for the comment! Before launching Checkmate we actually tried to shop the video around for sponsorship from a credit union or organization of credit unions. We thought it would be a perfect fit given how critical the video is of private banks.

I sent the video and a pitch to several blogging marketers who focus specifically on marketing CU's. These were people who had blogged specifically about a minor YouTube hit that a Canadian Credit Union had put out. I was hoping for advice or a hookup.

Of the batch, only one responded. He was extremely positive about the video but couldn't see making it happen with any of the CU's he works with. The idea of sponsoring a web video too foreign for them.

But yeah I'm all for them in principle and I've been thinking it's time to leave my bank and put my money where my mouth is.

Ha! My bad Tahero.

I just get paranoid when someone I don't really know emails me out of the blue to ask about a project I'm late on. Like it made me think, is the client sending spies?

See what that college-weed did to me?

I'll hit you up with a reply tonight.

Nice clip Puffy.

I use my computer with a rear-view mirror like that guy has. Just to make the Internet more challenging.

Chris,

I just wanted to chime in to say that's a sick blog you've got there. Great quality photos.
