Furthermore, this is the right place and the right time to get to know all the ins and outs of Indian movies, to deepen knowledge on Telugu film industry, expand your horizon.

A word Tellywood comes from a combination of “Telugu” and “Hollywood”. The Hollywood itself is a stumbling block for the majority of film-makers.

Though it is a popular destination for nightlife and tourism and home to the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Hollywood releases myriads of movies annually.

On the one side, Telugu and Bollywood crave for producing the largest number of films on a level with other well-known and respectful studios. On the other side, these movies possess weird and wonderful plots, saturated with folk songs and dances.

Telugu musical films are special musicals catered for a targeted community. Free Telugu movies don’t demand from viewers to be lost in mediation and thinking over everyday social problems.

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.

This year spring happened to be warm and sunny. I beg your pardon! Fool’s Day also brought some surprises. I believe it’ll bring 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.

Sure thing, the People’s Republic of China brought bad news on the threshold of the summer Olympic Games in Beijing. Media services look concerned. Like-minded people, who are going to visit these games, will wear a badge with the word “Freedom”

As of developing countries like Afghanistan, Reporters Without Borders is shocked by a campaign being waged by the ministry of information and culture, the lower house of parliament and the Council of Ulemas against privately-owned TV stations, especially Tolo TV, for broadcasting footage of men and women dancing together.

What should we advice them in this case? Let it takes its course with a glance that Muslim countries live on their own. They haven’t come of age.

But let’s get back to the subject. What do you think of amateur video blogs and their close cooperation with professional bloggers and journalists on the web?

Journalists of traditional media have been actively discussing the future of paper newspapers and magazines. Surely, most of them predict that online content will prevail over other sources of information. The strength of the Internet as a source for news increases daily.

Moreover, in a number of countries professional journalists and reporters began to teach others how to change into probloggers, who are able to talk about cutting edge WEB trends, content, news, standards, blogging, techologies. For example, if you want be a freelance writeк or blogger, you should satisfy these requirements:

• Be enthusiastic and have a sense of humor!
• Be creative, critical and articulate in your English mother tongue.
• Have strong research/analysis skills.
• Your location is flexible.
• Generate 1 to 3 quality posts a day.
• Become a producer. Use a digital or video camera, record stuff and upload it on YouTube, Google, Revver, etc.
• Watch other videos on video-sharing web-sites like YouTube, download video and podcasts via a video iPod, mobile phone, etc.

Mark Glaser shares his ideas on media shift and change in media usage. It goes without saying, that there is a vivid move away from traditional media and toward online media. Web TV and online video sites with user-generated content whether intentionally or not do news. (via)

TV is a root of all evil. Nobody has to refuse its existence and influence on people’s minds. On the other side, web television is of a greater importance both for viewership and media bloggers as a source of information and entertainment.

Frank-Washkuch says that online magazines increase videos and readership. Many online publications - most of which are traditionally text-based - are increasingly employing video to escalate readership. Many general news Web sites, such as CNN.com, have sections exclusively dedicated to video footage, and politics Web site TalkingPointsMemo.com uses a video section to supplement its news coverage.

According to the new State of the News Media 2008, the main TV network news programs averaged 23.1 million viewers a night, a drop of 5%, or 1.2 million viewers compared with data from 2006. Over the past 25 years, the audience has fallen around 1 million per year.

Our habits and attitude toward online space is rapidly changing. There are new rules of media, according to which the audience knows more than the journalists. We see in what way amateurs cooperate with probloggers. Without dialogue there won’t be success on the web. Owners of amateur video blogs shouldn’t compete, but team up with probloggers. (via)

Festive mood and Xmas holydays are left behind. It’s high time to ponder over 2008 year. What will be popular and profitable the next year? What predictions and prognostication will come true?! I gathered some interesting posts and researches on the future of web apps, sites, blogs, online video and web TV, including my own 2008 predictions.

I’m deeply interested in trends that could cause one or another event developing on the web. Folks exchange and express their opinions all time, that’s why we see so many essentially different views on likewise events. What apps will survive, and why the others won’t? What should we make use of the next year? What technologies will take off this year? What new technologies will appear?

Richard MacManus made up a list of Top Web Apps & Sites of 2007, the most used and preferred this year, which are at his top. Among them are Google brand, last.fm, YouTube, Flickr, MyBlogLog. Surely, I occasionally opt for these apps taking into consideration its character. The author wants to emphasize a substantial contribution these websites do.

Drama20show made quite a reasonable assumption regarding internet development and consumption. Among naked truths in the list an author suggests that:

- People will continue to consume online porn regularly. Hopefully they will do so on one more of the properties in my extensive network of niche adult entertainment websites. If you’re looking for classy nude photographs and videos of some of Silicon Valley’s finest, get in touch and I’ll give you 10% off a subscription to Sand Hill Snatches, Palo Alto Pussy, Techie Tits or Google Girls Gone Wild.

- Organized online crime will continue to be more profitable than starting a Web 2.0 company by the tune of at least several billion dollars, but all the Mark Zuckerburgs will continue to think that they’re money.

Meanwhile, following drama 2.0, Mashable made up their own list of WON’Ts:

- The majority of web 2.0 startups won’t develop long-term business models. Web 2.0 services such as social networks face substantial challenges in delivering for advertisers.

- Most of the Hottest Web 2.0 Startups Won’t Get Acquired for Big Bucks. Many of the startups that have raised money at $100+ million valuations may leave shit out of luck.

- Silicon Valley Won’t Take Over Hollywood. Silicon Valley is not likely to take over Hollywood and it certainly isn’t going to happen in 2008. As I’ve discussed before, Silicon Valley is capable of finding new ways to distribute content but is ill-equipped to create content.

Adam Ostrow also made a list of predictions offering his own guesses on “how trends we saw in ‘07 will translate into big deals, new technologies, and emerging themes we will see in the new year.” Should we believe that News Corp will monetize MySpace, Email won’t die and Blogs Become Hot Acquisition Targets? They are partially possible to be realized, and too optimistic.

Net-Security offers Web security predictions for 2008

I singled out some relevant Jeff Pulver’s Internet Communications and Social Media Predictions for 2008:

- If the writer’s strike is not resolved by February, look for the major networks to start importing successful TV series from abroad and presenting them as “new” for the remainder of the 2008 television season.

- Broadband penetration will continue to snowball in the US, but not at a pace fast enough to raise America’s mediocre global standing in broadband penetration.

- Users will also recognize the value of the Internet as a better means to access content than traditional broadcast and cable delivery systems, thereby greatly reducing the impact of the 2009 DTV mandate.

Top Five Technology Predictions for 2008 by Jamie.

- Ultra Cheap Laptops

- Offline Mode for Online Applications

- Social networks will see an increase adoption

- A better year for Microsoft

- Apple Marches On

Among VideoNuze’s Predictions for 2008 I found interesting ‘Beijing Summer Olympics is a broadband blowout’ and ‘2008 is the “Year of the broadband presidential election.”

Online Video Insider offers its own Online Video Predictions for 2008 (some of them are getting arising these days):

- Video goes vertical. Video content will find well-branded homes for vertical video.

- Professionally produced content online surpasses amateur content

- TV is a box–one of many

- More political advertising online than TV

- Video search will make sense

- Video blogging will cross the chasm. The differences between video blogs and video communities will blur, as social networking sites like MySpace will be increasingly dominated by video versions of teen-angst rants and boyfriend bashing

- Video communities. Communities will be redefined, and hopefully, bring the “personal” back into personal computing.

And my own predictions:

• Speaking about blogs in general, vlogs are getting more and more popular on the web
• The web will become densely populated with Asian people (e.g. Chinese are everywhere, including the .asia domain appearing)
• Email on a par with traditional mail has its own pros and cons, therefore neither will die
• Vlogs, video startups are highly popular, they’re springing up all over the web
• In spite of the fact that advertisers don’t use online ads in full, InVideo and InGame advertising start to become extensible
• Virtual worlds will become a part of our lives… immoderately. We play video games online, we play our lives on the web in real time spending too much time online
• User-generated content won’t disappear, but high quality videos are gaining rotation
• Social communities will turn into social video communities

To sum up, it should be said that all of these predictions have a right to be well-grounded and sound. It’s up to you to adhere or disclaim one or another prognosis. The only thing you should pay attention is think over them.
