Farts – No bear markets…AND Product Placement in Videos Done Well

Howard — Fri, 30 Mar 2007 05:07:46 +0000

I wrote about Acceptable TV la few weeks back and liked the whole concept . They already seem to be cranking now that the VH1 TV juice is kicking in.

Today, Fred was posting about them. Turns out he is friends with one of the founder/creator’s – Fred Graver . National Lampoon, David Letterman, Cheers. Sweet resume.

Anyways, check out this hysterical show…’Who Farted’. I am a sucker for fart ideas. Sorry.

Fave Line – “Wheelchair guy…It would have been muffled!”

Good land for Revver by the way as well.

Disclosure – Long Natural Gas :)

Acceptable TV is…

Actually acceptable.tv is the name and thanks to Liz at NewTeeVee for the find and coverage.

I am very interested to see how this gets accepted. Jack Black is behind this. They are using Revver and so far have few views.

‘My Black Friend ‘ is a good start to a parody reality show.

Nice to have VH1 behind you to start for sure.

SplashCast.net …Interesting…

Marshall Kirkpatrick of TechCrunch fame is now over at SplashCast. For contet people like me it seems like a very cool idea if they can pull this off by late January.

At Wallstrip, we are using the Revver Widget which is not perfect, but cool.

I am looking forward to seeing this in action.

Veoh, YouTube, VSocial etc… need the Revver widget idea and or something like SplashCast for the coming “everybody is their own channel”.

Wallstrip teaser…

Good news, bad news.

There is a new teaser up on Wallstrip . I am in it ! Guess which is the bad news :) .

Where does the YouTube/Google deal leave Revver?

I love that they pose the question while hosting the video on Veoh – another Revver competitor.

Loren nails one of Revver’s problems and Chartreuse is wrong. Paying for original content is a tough game. I think XMSR and SIRI are in a death march.

Google/YouTube is daunting!

Great conversation on the subject and kudo’s for Chartreuse for taking such good care of his heart after the latest scare :) . PUTZ!

We hope to see you at the party. Just arrived in New York on my typical red eye flight and we are hard at work getting it ready.

Bar Mitzvah 2.0 – Sponsored by Revver and YouTube

Howard — Wed, 06 Sep 2006 14:31:01 +0000

I had a brainstorm session with my good friend Sheldon F. from Toronto. He did not know it was a brainstorm session. He won’t know until he reads this later.

I was just complaining about the coming costs of two Bar and Bat Mitzvahs and the travel to Toronto ahead for all the Bar and Bat Mitzvahs of my nieces and nephews and kids of friends – OYYYYYYYYYYY :( :( .

At first I thought – “What would an Intel executive do :) .”

Too easy – “Cash Bar”! BUT, I did that at my wedding and I still hear about it!

Screw the whole Bar than, I will just call it a Mitzvah and people can tune in live at YouTube and watch my kids get BarMitzvah’d. They can throw candy in the comfort of their own homes, watch the speeches and candle lighting on demand at their own leisure and send the money they saved on airfare to the kids directly. Chai never looked this good.

The demographic will be great for advertisers. Mogen-David, Apple, Amex, Tiffany’s. I will pit Skype vs. Vonage for the broadband exclusivity and Revver vs. YouTube. Cha-Ching!
