Digital Ethnography: The Machine is using US
1 Comment Published by Siddiq Bello February 7th, 2007 in Tech 2.0, Tech Musings, TrendSpotting, User Generated Content, Viral marketing, Web 2.0, YouTube, digital ethnography, social networking, trend, video.GooTube isnt just the domain of scantily clad women, moronic teenage antics and copyright infringement. There’s gold in them thar servers and one nugget was sent to me by the amazing Phasing on Monday. It has captured the mood/feeling of the “whats happening?” crowd and offers some insights into thinking of the “whats next!” crowd.

YouTube Up TV Down
0 Comments Published by Siddiq Bello November 27th, 2006 in IPTV, Online TV, Quantification, Research, Research Summary, Tech 2.0, TrendSpotting, Web Stats, YouTube, bbc, trend.Great post over at Mashable on this BBC report claiming that 43% of Brits who watch video via the net or mobile devices watch less TV.

As an early, and modestly loyal, user of most Google applications I'm inclined to like their products (except Google Video, which sucks ass and Picasa, which still isnt as good as ACDSee8 ). [...]
What does it take to build a business that gets a whole meme named after it? How do you get to be part of the Web 2.0 goodness that has been exploding all over the media? I dont know, but the web does provide access to lots of people that do. I contacted 10 of them for their answers to these questions and more.
Firing up my email program, along with a bit of courage, I emailed the founders of 10 different companies a series of questions about how they started their businesses and any lessons they'd picked-up along the way. I expected to get a few cruel letters of rejection and disdain from some overworked PR flack distrustful of blogs and unsure of their validity or usefulness. Instead, six founders running some of the Webs most interesting companies (at least the ones I use most often) agreed to chat with me.
