Mike Posehn is a time-lapse photographer and creator of the GBTimeLapse software that helps turn digital photos into time-lapse videos. In his post on GraniteBaySoftware’s blog, he compares various video sites. His goals are similar to many of ours: 1) Good video quality, easy and fast uploading and an attractive and flexible video player. 2)…
This is Zack Scott’s latest. He’ll probably make a few grand from this on Metacafe.
I’ve been trying for months to crack the Metacafe code. I’ve earned almost $4,000 but mostly from one or two of my videos. Meanwhile, Viral Video Czar Zack Scott has claimed more than $11,000 with his collection — about 10 of his videos have made it to the Producer Awards program. Yesterday he offered this…
I pulled out my crystal ball this morning, and I’m predicting the most significant online-video highlights of 2007. I’ll be citing these selectively at the end of 2007 (only those in which I was right). Okay I didn’t use a crystal ball. This video tells a better story about the process I used to arrive…

So I’ve made some decent money on Metacafe, and I’ve decided it’s time to “take it to the next level.” A friend of mine (ZackScott) cracked $8,000 by posting various mind tricks. So I’ve uploaded as many of my favorites as I can find. Feel free to watch them on Metacafe. For every 1,000 views…
Variety reports of a new “strategic alliance” between Metacafe and Steven Bochco, whose credits range from “L.A. Law” and “NYPD Blue” to last season’s “Commander in Chief.” Variety reports that this is “one of the first “old-guard” scripted TV producers to enter into a production alliance with a video-sharing service.” Under the deal, Bochco will…
If you haven’t heard the name Brightcove in the past weeks you’d better check to see if your computer is plugged in. Given all of the buzz about Brightcove’s new offering, I spoke recently with Eric Elia, Brightcove’s VP of Content and Online Services. (Click his name to see one of the creepiest head shots ever)….
Yesterday I joined a small group of online video creators to speak with Revver via conference call. We shared some of our technical concerns, and Revver provided some updates about what’s ahead. As the market grows more competitive, Revver has become cautious about sharing specifics. But Micki (Director of Revver Community and editor of The…
