Thanks so much Tony, we really appreciate it. But watch out, if you spell my last name with an "i" I'll start calling you Toni.

Great!

Re: What can Fred teach us about video?

You can see a video of Fred's appearance from yesterday here: http://newteevee.com/2008/11/13/newteevee-live-...

Fun stuff! He was definitely the star of the show.

Re: GigaOM show: I am this week's guest, thanks Joyce, Liz and Om

Thanks Loic. I "get it" a lot more now after having you on the show. We will see how things go!

p.s. If you get any Seesmic posts regarding the interview you should definitely let us know.

Whoa, this was floating outside our office (at Pier 38) all day yesterday, and was the subject of much speculation. When it finally took off we all ran to the window to see how it was propelled. Thanks for the link!

It's NewTeeVee, not MeeTeeVee!

Actually, my story on Aaron Mendelsohn's startup said he was looking to raise $30 million. As far as I know, such a deal has not closed.

Hey Chris, sorry to be the thorn in your side this morning, but we at NewTeeVee actually had the scoop on this last week.

Re: Why did the media react so strangely to the Mark Zuckerberg keynote?

Liz Gannes — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 11:57:38 -0000

Matt, I would just say as a SXSW attendee who missed the keynote (I was still in the air at the time) that the Sarah Lacy crucifying did not originate with the journalists. Your assessment seems pretty far off to me. As soon as I touched down I started hearing about the keynote, and the chatter has not stopped since. Everyone, and I mean everyone, has an opinion about this.

If someone assigned to cover that session of the conference did not cover the controversy, it would have been extremely strange. That said, I think this was a case of mob lynching which Sarah didn't deserve, but her getting defensive kept the snowball rolling.

Wow, I had no idea this had actually turned into something gripping and emotionally impactful (for you at least!). I'll have to give it another look.

Re: studio.rizzn == new.media

Liz Gannes — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 15:10:20 -0000

Hey Mark, I was actually quoting the NYT reviewer in my piece, so it's not quite accurate to say I called it gimmicky. Anyways, hope you are doing well!

Re: Pier Screening Offers Glimpse At Future Of VOD

Liz Gannes — Thu, 21 Jun 2007 15:06:38 -0000

Hi Davis,

So glad to hear you enjoyed the screening. I'm sorry I didn't get to chat with you in person. Just a quick note that the name of our site is NewTeeVee -- I think the similarity to MeeVee had you mashing up some kind of joint venture for the two of us!

Re: Om Malik Opens NTV Station - The Best of Web Video, Facing Challenges

Liz Gannes — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 09:42:58 -0000

Thanks for the advice! I think there are really interesting opportunities to build a web-based video recommendation and subscription site for video watching, but at the moment we are focusing on the editorial side. We feel like an awful lot of video could use the context that comes with a written review or explanation, and that's what we aim to provide.

But you are right, we should create some kind of statement about what we think good video is. For us right now, we want to write about "noteworthy" video -- the stuff that people are talking about at the watercooler. So sometimes it's good, and sometimes it's bad. Of course since we are not algorithmic we will also get to slide in there some things we *think* you should be discussing at the watercooler.

Re: 2007/05/29/ooyala/

Liz Gannes — Tue, 29 May 2007 10:45:19 -0000

Hi Kristen,

It looks like you are referring to my article (http://newteevee.com/2007/05/28/one-to-watch-ooyala/), where I quote from Robert X. Cringely's post about Google employees following their rejected dreams into new companies. It would be incorrect to describe this as Lepe's "reported disdain for Google."

Thanks,
Liz

Re: NewTeeVee Conference lacking substance?

Liz Gannes — Sat, 13 Oct 2007 13:32:33 -0000

Hi Robert,

With a one-day conference we can't fit everything in, but we're doing our best to involve a wide range of companies and people who have interesting things to say and show off (including quite a few of the people on your list, actually!). You should come check it out and see what you think.

Hi Christopher, It's actually not a video show, it's a video reviews site. Check it out -- maybe you will find some losers you like.

You are actually counting some of the funding twice -- the total amount raised is $68 million. I checked w/ the company this morning.

Are you calling me a "gotcha monger"!?! Hehe.

Thought you'd like to know that YouTube corrected some of the assumptions in my math -- all partners are not paid the same; and there are more than 100 of them, they're just not displayed on that page.

Sounds like some of the same kind of stuff has been going on at Vuze, but nobody's hardly noticed.

Re: Hulu A Better Business Than YouTube? Not So Fast

Hi Rory,

YouTube does already have an affiliate "buy this" product, though it could definitely be expanded.
