Joost adds new features and new content for streaming Internet TV service
Filed Under Social Media | 4 Comments
Welcome! You appear to be new here (or you've reset your cookies recently). If you're new here, you may want to browse around a bit and find out what the site is about. I encourage you to register for the RSS feed or to receive updates through email. Thanks for visiting!
Today’s headline from the New York Times reads “Viacom to Offer Online Video, but Not on YouTube“. This past weekend, Joost released an update to the latest beta version of it’s streaming video software, and for the first time, released a version for Macintosh.
My experience with Joost has been good, so far. It’s got a pretty funky interface, has social media aspects, but the content hasn’t been there enough to keep me engaged. Hopefully that’ll soon change with this new partnership.
Update: Joost has added a few more channels, including documentary programs from National Geographic…Joost just got more interesting!
But the big question, will this just be more TV, or will the social aspect add value that TV just can’t?
What do you think?

Free advertising on Google, MSN, and Yahoo
Filed Under Uncategorized | 1 Comment
This is kinda neat. Sign up for the social networking site Ziki, and they’ll buy adverts for you on the top three search engines.
Why would you do this? Not egoboo, that’s for sure. How about brand development. You’re a writer, or web monkey, or photographer. You want to increase awareness of you and your name, then why not take a few moments, enter your profile information into Ziki, and have them pay for placement in the search engines?
True, you do have to have people search for you by name, and if your name is John Smith, this could prove problematic.
But if you don’t carry that burden, then check it out. Make it easy for your mom to look up your website.

Server burp…
Filed Under Blogging | Comments Off
My webhost recently had a fairly serious server failure. The downside; the site was kinda unstable for a few days here, and we lost a few comments and votes. The upside; they keep good backups and were able to restore the site with only that minimal loss of information.
And I think I’ll also begin to follow the path of Blog Backup Day — the 13th of every month.
