Blip.tv Deleted Me
I didn’t care much when some of the online video sites retired “consumer generated” accounts, and killed my Nalts channels. Metacafe, Revver, Yahoo video, Google video. But I’ve been rooting for the Blip.tv underdog since its infancy. So when I learned today they deleted my account, I felt totally betrayed. Blip.tv is now owned by…
6 New Rules of Marketing: Get Enlightened, Stupid.
The coolest thing about marketers are the titles they give their books. Common, right? They’re marketers. What do you expect? “The Old Rules of Marketing Are Dead,” by Timothy R. Pearson, was released today and is already the business best-seller on Amazon. Fine- don’t buy it. Just keep doing the old stuff, and at least…
Which Trailer Makes You Want “Dead Island” More?

Have we seen the last of Revver.com, the first online-video site that shared advertising revenue with creators? It’s MIA… check www.Revver.com. This blog began as “Revverberation,” and was primarily about the website… sadly it got little traction, was acquired, and eventually stopped paying creators. See Revver’s Wikipedia entry for all the good will it left…
CableTV’s Funeral Attended by Nobody
TechCrunch’s “2010 year in review” featured CableTV as a “loser.” It had a funeral. Nobody came. Check it out: Losers: Huzzah! Cable companies are losing more and more subs every month! Victory! Well, sort of. Sure, pay TV companies are having a hard time holding on to subscribers, but that’s only going to mean prices will…
