Free Magazines Forever vs. Watch TV Free Online

Thursday, 08.05.2008 | Categories: Video sharing websites, Media/video, Media research

The share of traditional paper output like magazines and newspapers is getting less asked-for. Even (mostly paid) online sources of information don’t attract a great readership’s attention. People have fallen into the habit of watching TV news giving preference to internet television.

Digital media is gaining in strength, height and speed. Thus, free and qualitative materials are of great demand and interest nowadays. Advertisers place inVideo ads on video sites like YouTube, Revver, Dailymotion, Blinkx, Metacafe, etc. and this is valuable to consumers who use media content.

Various polls show that folks prefer better to watch TV free online than read magazines on the web. Therefore investors and sponsors spend their money on digital media. According to the Newspaper National Network, studios spent $880 million on newspaper ads last year, down from $1.5 billion in 2005.

Talking about the hottest places to investing money, it should be mentioned that free magazines and newspapers will be of a greater value for both consumers and advertisers if they become free forever. By the way, absolutely free content is the right way to achieve a success on the web!

On the other side, how to get money and cash in? Use more and more kinds of ads and set inVideo, textual, visual, indoor, outdoor, etc. in motion. Offer titbits (aka new services) for free! Make use of video channels and upload short films a la user-generated content by means of video-sharing web-sites.

One of the examples of an appropriate hype and close cooperation with online video sites is as follows: the Chicago Tribune has capitalized so-called “untapped inventory”, packaging its film critics and columnists in video shorts that are then posted on YouTube and other Web-based channels.

Some of newly-fledged video services teamed up with well-known portals to be promoted and moved ahead for free. NBC’s new HuluDotCom channel on YouTube created in early March and featuring only short-length clips (from 28 seconds to 3 minutes) from popular shows like Family Guy, The Office, Saturday Night Live, 30 Rock, etc. Thus, Hulu does all its best to boost itself.

In spite of my reasoning, newspapers and magazines will be free forever in the near future! Moreover, free newsrooms should become more integrated with digital services and opportunities, be available via gadgets on the go.

In confirmation of these words, Adam Jones, an NBC News executive, says that “video will replace the textbook”. Launching a new educational site, NBC shows the young generation how they’re interested in cooperation. It doesn’t concern me, but I do always consider books to be the best means of education and eloquence development.

On the balance, I’d like you to watch online TV for free, read free magazines forever and get to know a lot of fresh and breaking news using such sources of information once and for all.

My Dads Better Than Your Dad: dadlabs.com

Thursday, 01.05.2008 | Categories: Video sharing websites

Look back at the past and you’ll see what roles played men and women in the family. A woman was a keeper of the family hearth, brought up children and cooked well. A man was considered to be a breadwinner and defenseman.

What has changed? The roles are universal, the opportunities afford either women or men do what they like better. If you can change a baby’s napkin, watch the baby, be a good father and at the same time have enough time to get extra money - a daddy like you is a godsend!

How many fathers are there? If you’ve ever happened to hear somewhere the words like “my dad’s better than your dad!” or “my dad can do it with his eyes closed” and blab like that, take it seriously and proud of your children. Who knows what the matter turns out like?!

Parents (especially dads) have tight bounds with their kids (i.e. sons). You know, properly established close links with your family members and children is a guarantee of success. Be patient and very attentive, hang on every word while talk to your child.

It’s not so hard to guess that my appeal is addressed to fathers who take part in upbringing and education. It should be mentioned, that modern fathers make use of multiple interesting guides and books here and there.

May I bring to your attention a new way of learning?! I find the DadLabs blog quite a cutting-edge video web-site that offers usual and out of the ordinary material on parenting and spousal advice.

Currently the service makes up more than 300 videos with topics like “Bath Safety Rails”, “Football Fan Father”, “Dads and Dolls”, “Wake Up, the Baby is Crying!” and many other useful and interesting short-length films over here. Videos can be viewed at dadlabs.com and can also be searched for on a variety of other video sites like YouTube.

If you follow at least some advice of this fun and informative show, you’ll probably hear about your son or daughter’s words “my dad’s better than your dad!” Believe it or not, but you can’t but take pride in these words. You’re really a new father!

Online Video & Web TV News Roundup: April Edition

Friday, 18.04.2008 | Categories: News, Media research

We are proud to bring you some more weird and wonderful news. There’ve been loads of peculiar and quirky rumors and facts in online video and web TV sphere over the last few weeks.

The most disturbing events, I guess, are about China and the Olympic games. European countries together with the rest of the world will never come to a positive agreement for side pieces. It’s a pity.

Out of sight, presidential election and the electorate’s preferences have also become surprising for me. The USA people are in a mess at the moment. On the one hand, this patriarchal community can’t vote for a woman. On the other hand, Afro-Americans have also been out of favor for a long time. Funny thing is that Americans are in a dilemma.

It would be nice to vote for a future president online. At least be happy to have an opportunity to suggest your opinion, because in a number of countries it’s a rarity. GetMyVote presents a service due to which everyone has given a place to upload video, audio and text files that are directed at the candidates. The site offers users ways to interact with the commentaries by leaving comments, rating commentaries, tagging commentaries, and recommending commentaries.

By the way, one of the first online video services started uploading candidates’ speeches, YouTube, is now seeing 10 hours of video uploaded every minute. Owing to this user-generated content web-site Google made some more extra money. Sure thing, to be more competitive and spectacular on the web, Google decided to improve video quality on YouTube.

According to webtvwire.com, YouTube video integrated in to Google maps allowing companies to advertise on the web. First of all, it was done for businesses in the USA. This feature, which at first glance may not seem very important, could help many small companies to build their business using the power of the Web.

Talking about better and the best video quality, I can’t turn a deaf ear to pixel aspect ratio basics, explained on dvguru.com. Sitting at home and watching movies on a widescreen, willy-nilly one starts comparing video on TV and on computers, and camcorders. Learning the differences between formats will give you a better understanding of exactly how video is displayed.

And again scientists and statisticians bring us figures and facts about ourselves and our habits to watch videos. Do they really anxious of that or they have nothing to do? At the same time, it’s interesting to know in February Americans watched 10 billion online videos.  And every year we spend more and more time watching videos (an average of 16 minutes and 12 seconds for the week ending April 12, 2008 as compared to 15 minutes and 14 seconds during the same week last year).

There are many talks about user-generated content all around the web. And it’s no by accident. Experts and analysts couldn’t have expressed the one opinion on user-generated content and its pros and cons. According to emarketer.com, the number of user-generated content creators will rise from 77 million in 2007 to 108 million in 2012.

Record and upload your own video, share it with the rest of the world, cause you’re not alone.

Amputee Online Video Clips

Saturday, 12.04.2008 | Categories: Video, Web video

Not long ago I stumbled upon repulsive shoots and videos of amputees. On the one hand, it looks disgusting and weird due to their dissimilarity. But we should take into consideration that they’re live people who run into trouble.

On the other hand, amputee people are greatly in need of human help and understanding. I’ve got an acquaintance that has to move only by the use of an invalid carriage. I’m not sure whether such people need a pity or something like that.

The web area is full of various amputee online video clips. For what purposes do they upload the like videos? I can number some reasons why such videos are in demand:

- Amputees make themselves known as talented people

- These folks want to live a full life, not just to exist!

- Paralyzed people proved to be good sportsmen

Surfing the web and looking for amputee online video clips, a disabled man finds out that he/she is not hopeless. For example, video guides are catered to such people to learn how to live among the like throughout the world.

At devguide.org you’ll find out many related links. Amputee disabled women are capable of working with fitness programs for people with disabilities, invite to visit social clubs and support groups. They make extra money online at the expense of photo sets sale.

Google directory also presents a lot of links devoted to amputees. Different specialized web-sites are catered for amputees, amputee education and support groups. Promote the full participation of the disabled and the issue of accessibility. Loads of links.

The most important point, however, is that perverts are able to use these videos to suit their own ends. Which ones? Alas, I can’t answer this question.

Be careful sharing your private video collection on the web, because your face may become a part of one’s home video collection like porno clips.
