Why do Video Networks Succeed? One Reason: The Content

Dembot: Why do Video Networks Fail? One Reason: The Content: "When we take a moment to step out of the 2.0 bubble and have a look around, its easy to see that the power of the moving image is not going to burst. Online video, personal publishing, content - this type of stuff is not about today's shiny new gadgets and Ajax. When the iPhone becomes an archaic collectors item and Facebook and YouTube are only known by the old and stodgy, people will be still be creating content that will strike a chord in a big way and there will always be a big market for it. I'd rather see the new networks making it but they are mostly missing that really important role of being able to identify compelling content that will strike a chord in enough people to sustain and grow."

Online TV

New phase in online TV battle | The Australian:

"To capitalise on this, Digital Artists planned to become a content supplier by developing internet TV channels, or dedicated URLs, funded by advertisers who want to experiment with alternative distribution models to the free-to-air or pay-TV markets.

Mr Flattery, who has worked in the US production industry, said he would be helping advertisers bid for original TV shows that were not included in network output and sports rights deals, and help take them to viewers.

He said the cost would be comparable to publishing a good-quality custom magazine."

For Your Imagination

NewTeeVee Startup Watch: For Your Imagination:

"Distribution and production chops are probably the two most important things anyone can offer online video creators looking to amass a big enough audience to make a living. And there’s a raft of companies looking to fill that space, as we wrote last month in an essay about the professionalization of Internet TV. It’s definitely not easy money, but helping talented people negotiate the business world is a time-tested profession that’s ready for a digital upgrade."

MyOnionSpace

The Onion Brings Journalistic Integrity, Correct Puntcuation to MySpace:

"LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MySpace, the country’s most trafficked website, and The Onion, America’s Finest News Source, today announced an exclusive content partnership to bring new Onion video and audio content, articles, blogs, and breaking news to MySpace and MySpaceTV viewers (http://myspacetv.com). The Onion/MySpace partnership will create a branded “Onion” community allowing fans to view exclusive content through the video hub as well as via the Onion’s new MySpace profile at http://myspace.com/onionnews.

'The news business is like the tobacco business: you want to reach new readers at as young and impressionable an age as possible,' Onion president Sean Mills said. 'MySpace was, of course, a natural partner in that regard.'"

Sweet.

This is a great way for MySpace to become a destination site for Onion fans. I'll visit. I wonder if they'll support RSS 2.0 with enclosures.
