Martin Kallstrom on Avoiding Information Overload

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 21:41:01 GMT

Although the real-time Web has allowed for many great advancements, it has unfortunately, made information overload even more prevalent. With news traveling at a rapid speed, it is nearly impossible to find the information that you need. To provide a solution for this growing problem, the Swedish company developed Twingly Channels that combines search technology, filtering services, and social aspects into one service. The channels allow users to follow particular topics of interest and invite others to subscribe to their channel. The sources for the information within the channels are ranked according to the number of mentions, comments, recommendations and other social metrics on the social Web.

Kevin Pollak Embraces Online Media

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 17:57:00 GMT

The days of time constraints and censorship are over, thanks to the Internet. The Web opens many new opportunities that would not be possible in traditional media. Popular actor/comedian Kevin Pollak has made a name for himself in traditional media and is now embracing the Web. While he is not abandoning traditional media, he is taking advantage of all that the Web offers. The actor has an online talk show called Kevin Pollak’s Chat Show. The set is simple and consists of a black background and round wooden table, similar to a Charlie Rose set. Unlike other talk shows offline, Pollak’s show has no time limitations or censorship. The typical running time is one hour, but if it continues for two hours or longer, no one stops it.

Steve Rubel on Blogging in a Micro Blog World

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 17:05:01 GMT

Move over Blogs, Micro Blogs are the 'new thing'. So where does that leave the bloggers? More and more it is becoming a reality - for better or worse, people just don't have time to read a 500 word blog post anymore. This trend can be partially (or almost completely) credited to the extreme popularity of social networking and microblogging. Nielsen Online found that the average American visits 111 domains and 2,554 web pages each month. Based upon those statistics, it is very important that content publishers have visibility everywhere that people are spending time. As a result, Rubel found a new publishing platform he believes is more efficient.

Chad Vader: Behind the Mask at BlogWorld Expo 2009

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 20:29:01 GMT

When Matt Sloan and Aaron Yonda created the first Chad Vader film, they had no idea that it would turn into the Internet sensation that it is today. The very first episode reached over 100,000 views on YouTube the first day and has gone on to exceed 9 million views today. The storyline is based on the younger brother of Darth Vader, Chad, who is a grocery store manager. Yonda plays the role of Chad Vader, while Sloan provides the voice. The Chad Vader phenomenon has now turned into a series with a finished season 1 and a nearly completed season 2. Both Yonda and Sloan have been able to quit their day jobs and devote all their time to Chad Vader. The two are very appreciative of the opportunities the Web has offered them.

“The Bloggess” Jenny Lawson at BlogWorld Expo 2009

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 20:06:00 GMT

Jenny Lawson, “The Bloggess” began writing a mommy blog for the Houston Chronicle, but quickly found that it wasn’t enough. To truly fulfill her desires, she created a blog where she could write about whatever she wanted: ninjas, sex, zombies, William Shatner, - just - whatever. She also developed a satirical sex and advice columns. Because some people consider her content controversial, Lawson has received her fair share of hate mail. She told WebProNews she turns it into something positive: free entertainment. For example, people have told her “your retarded,” but in all actuality, the joke is on them since they misspelled “you’re.” She said: “If you’re not entertained by your own blog and both the people that love you and the people that hate you, then I think you’re missing out.”
