08 Jul This post is from from my other blog here The ad-based revenue-sharing distribution model of most social networking sites comes with a few restrictions for online content producers: even tens of thousands of views or visits do not generate a decent revenue, and since advertisers rule the casa, they refuse to see their ads appear next to explicit content. The free distribution model has its limits - low pay and censorship - which consequently pushes producers of explicit content to look for alternatives.Zivity, a royalties-distributed social platform, is stepping in the online content distribution arena to tackle this frustrating situation. The company was founded by successful tech entrepreneur Scott Banister, ... Click here to read the entire blog post
03 Jul This post is from from my other blog here Apture recently opened up their rich multimedia linking platform to the public. Apture allows site publishers/bloggers to easily find content related to their articles and link to it. The major appeal of this tool is that the linked pages appear in a HTML overlay window (ie pop-up). Click here to read the entire blog post
03 Jul This post is from from my other blog here Graphs and data are pretty geeky items to share online. The information conveyed by graphs is useful knowledge, but the methodology to organize and share the right bits of info requires some strong data analysis knowledge. Swivel is here to help you deal with complex spreadsheets, transform them into intelligible graphs, and share it with everyone, or just with designated collaborators. Swivel has a public side where anybody can upload graphs and make them available for the rest of us, and a private corner for businesses wishing to benefit from the Swivel's technology without sharing their confidential data with the ...

01 Jul This post is from from my other blog here Virtual worlds have undeniably taken over the entertainment arena in the past decade. MMORPGs put aside, Second Life was the most advertised 3D innovation of the past few years. Unfortunately, the place is not really fit for teens - a population of virtual worlds crunchers - and it is still not clear how popular the platform is exactly. Alternatives exist: There, Metaversum or Kaneva. There is probably the most threatening competition to SL, even though they don't cater to the same audience. Click here to read the entire blog post
24 Jun This post is from from my other blog here YouBundle is taking the most basic idea - links - and creating a centralized and organized database fueled and rated by users. Unlike social bookmarkers whose main goal is to simply get the links no matter their quality. The goal of YouBundle is for the USER to pick a subject - any subject - and put together a bundle of relevant links to pages, videos and photos. The Bundle actually becoming a new piece of content in the process.Other users will then have the power to rate the quality of this bundle, with this rating determining how much exposure ...

21 Jun This post is from from my other blog here About eleven months ago (precisely on the 26th of July 2007), I set up an interview with jack Dorsey, Founder and CEO of Twitter. Back then, the messenger service had known a buzz for about three months, and a lot of popular social media enthusiasts were still trying to figure out the benefits of twittering. I actually got lucky to get this interview with Jack Dorsey, as I didn't really have a site to show where the video would be displayed. Also, part of the luck lies - I think - in that the Founder of Twitter did not verify ... Click here to read the entire blog post

18 Jun This post is from from my other blog here It has been almost a year I have started HyveUp. The first interview, Lawrence Coburn, Founder of RateItAll, accepted to do it. in a way, he was my first victim. Today, I believe the videos HyveUp offers are of a much better quality, even though it still needs improvements (sound, light, music, screencasts). Doing videos for Web 2.0 startups is a constant learning process, as there isn't any books written on how to do promotional videos for Web 2.0 startups.Now that I am at least able to deliver punchier videos, I thought it was time to dust out some old ...

17 Jun This post is from from my other blog here The initial idea with HyveUp was to build a directory of Web 2.0 startups where the search behavior would be video-centered. Very quickly, I understood all the challenges of creating such a database. The most obvious conclusion I drew was that only a central actor in the Web 2.0 industry could successfully manage such a project. Building such a directory requires being informed about the latest company creations, project failures, bring qualitative information, know the people behind the companies, the venture firms, traffic information, companies' locations and contact info, and so on. Let me tell you, this is not a ... Click here to read the entire blog post
10 Jun This post is from from my other blog here So far, to connect with your friends online, there are a few tools available: destination sites like Spokeo lets you know what people do across several social platforms; Friendfeed does the same, but enhances this experience by adding extra social features to their platform; Flock also allows you to keep track of your friends' activities online, except that Flock is a browser all to itself (here's a good list of social aggregators).Quite frankly, all the players in this arena have developed great technologies to track online friends activities, but most of them fail so far to make this information easy ...
