Veoh is My New Favorite Video Site

Here’s an interview with the CEO of Veoh from Beet.TV This is quickly becoming my favorite video site. Love the quality of the video and the ability to publish once and syndicate to several other video site accounts (Google, YouTube) plus this blog. I’m still learning the ropes. In fact, I embedded their widget and it’s not quite working right…yet.

iPhone Phenom in Palo Alto — Jeremiah’s Video Walk & Talk

I hear the Doors’ Jim Morrison singing:  Ride the snake…  This is one doozy of a handycam take on the crazy line of people waiting to get their hands on the latest rock start — the Apple iPhone.  Here’s Jeremiah Owyang’s MOS — was there an end to that line?

Intel Deep Inside Second Life — Get Yo Jetpack On!!

Following up on an earlier post, after the previews and opening of Intel’s latest build out in Second Life.  This may be one of the very first places inside Second Life that lets you go underground.  One thing’s for sure — getting an Intel jet pack sounds as cool as what got me first interested in Second Life last year:  the guy who sold vending machines for a small cut of the action and space to sell his special zoomer rollerskates!

Jeremiah Owyang got his jetpack on and started a very good discussion on his blog.  Here something from Mad Young Thing and from Millions of Us, who helped Introduce Intel to Second Life in October 2006 and continues.

Research Day: Intel CTO Justin Rattner on Weird, Far Reaching Science

Intel CTO may have the coooolest, most interesting job in technology. Intel’s first ever CTO was Pat Gelsinger, who is a valcano of passion for technology and a real fireball of inspiration. Justin moves fast, but he has a way of putting you back in your seat in marvel. Justin seems to empower and celebrate people around the world. Intel’s Research efforts took a big turn at around the year 2000. The company does math, and the math showed it it needed to expand R&D at an even faster clip. The challenge was on…the result was creative and bold. The company embrased an open research approach where it worked closely with Universities around the world. It went to where the people and brains are around the world. The Intel researchers I’ve met over the past seven years are everyday people, from every part of the world, but a step beyond.

This is a great conversation between PodTech’s Jason Lopez and Justin. The two have talked a half a dozen time in the past few years. They have good chemistry — must have something to do with the subject…research!

Justine also kicked off the new Research@Intel blog with an interesting, “we’re learning” approach.

Cory Ondrejka, Second Life Co-Founder

PodTech has an interivew iwth SecondLife’s CTO and co-founder.

Many companies are operating inside Second Life — maybe it’ll become a better way and place for doing business!!

Intel has some cool stuff there — see and build your own California Chopper motorcycle, hang out with Intel’s cool software developers and more to come.

I\’m a lagard. I signed up for an account hoping to get a new laptop soon that would take me into Second Life…but my hopes haven\’t realized just yet. Soon!

Meantime, I enjoy reading posts from people\’s experience inside SL and it\’s fun to see mainstream media and companies exploring the seemingly boundless possibilities.

Social Networking with Ning, Scobel and Others Buzz About It

I’ve been hear more an more people in communications and Web marketing talk about Ning. We’ve seen Facebook open up, more companies having fun with a presence in MySpace and of course the impact of adding a blogging platform alongside corporate Websites (some corporate Websites are moving faster to have everything better networked together, discoverable and RSS’d).

We’re also seeing companies learn more about platforms like Second Life and why not Ning? I just wonder if all of the sporatic, dispersed efforts can be brought together somehow over time…when ever it makes sense…or is a highly integrated approach more effective over the long haul.

Here’s Robert Scoble’s description for the video interview:

Ning just released version 2.0 of its social networking platform this morning and here we talk with Marc Andreessen (yeah, the Marc who started Netscape) and co-founder Gina Bianchini, about a whole raft of things from what this new release enables users and developers to do to trends these two are seeing on the Internet.

PodTech-Silicon Valley Watcher: Harry McCracken

Tom Foresmki, seasoned super pioneering tech journalist, has been one of the best to listen to and watch move from mainstream to new media…I’d say he’s really helping move mainstream to become new mass media.

At the core of everything I’ve been learning from Tom is integrity, which is the subject in this video interview with Harry McCracken, editor-in-chief of PC World.

Integrating Efforts to Tell Better Stories — IT Pros can now go “Promissimo!”

Integrated efforts.  Integrating across teams.  Integrating new and traditional media outreach.  All of this is super important to VPs and group managers…and team players who do this already to produce great stuff through team work across groups.  But what swirls through my mind is that integrating is actually about pooling resources to create “content” to share stories, tips, share knowledge with interested people and invite the not-yet interested to share their attention.

The Intel corporate communications team wanted to show and tell what the new “Santa Rosa” — now known as Intel Centrino Duo and Intel Centino Pro — technology is all about…so that we could put the call out to people and companies who might be interested.  So we saw that a marketing team wanted to connect with IT pros.  Together we pooled resources and create a five-part audio and video Podcast series.

Here are the first four stories.  Watch for a great video next week, possibly featuring IT experts from EDS, HP, Altiris and others.  See how Intel IT is looking at Intel Centrino Pro laptop technology to fit in with servers and desktops built with Intel vPro technology — manageability is the key.  I have some fun photos and more insight to share in a near future post on this blog.  The aim is to show some folks how teamwork, collaboration and finding the right, real-deal people can help tell great stories.

It’s About Communicating, Not Entertaining

Loren Feldman tells it like it is his way. And through it all — and what works (for many) — is that we’d all like to tell it like it is our own way.

My belief is that you don’t or can’t really know your audience. Instead, you invite your audience in and they tell you who they are…if you’re good at connecting with them…if you give them something inspiring. And what your audience gives you is the best things to help you to tell it like it is your way, but better each time.

SEO with Eric Wolfram — LunchMeet with PodTech’s Eddie Codel

This is one of the best series for anyone interested in learning who people are advancing the production, collection and distribution of video.

Search Engine Optimization means a lot of different things to different people. What I heard Cisco’s Dan Scheinman say was that we’re moving from a time when people collect and own content to an era where people are consuming and sharing. At the Cisco-BPCC Social Media Summit, Scheinman said that we can consider today’s search as “dumb” and that in the future content will “find” you. It’s already happening thanks to people who understand and are improving SEO. They’re making the Internet better and they’re helping others grow communities or audiences for people and companies sharing their stories through blogs and audio/video Podcasts.
