YouTube Direct is a new tool that allows media organizations to request, review and rebroadcast YouTube clips directly from YouTube users. Built from our APIs, this open source application lets media organizations enable customized versions of YouTube’s upload platform on their own websites. Users can upload videos directly into this application, which also enables the hosting organization to easily review video submissions and select the best ones to broadcast on-air and on their websites.

“YouTube has signed up NPR, Politico, The Huffington Post and The San Francisco Chronicle for YouTube Direct, a new method for managing video submissions from readers.
The new feature, to be formally introduced on Tuesday, is a tool to make it easy for YouTube users to submit clips that news media companies can choose to highlight. The site plans to sign up other media partners.”

“Firms also talk about putting valuable content and tools behind this client-only wall. This is exactly opposite of what your content strategy should be. Put your content and tools “out front” where people can see how brilliant and generous you are. And recognize other audiences are using your site a lot more than clients ever will.”

“Cette semaine, Murdoch a déclaré que le projet avait du retard : “”We are working all very, very hard at this but I wouldn’t promise that we’re going to meet that date”, sans donner plus d’informations sur les raisons de cet ajournement.
Allant dans le sens des doutes que nous exprimions sur ce blog, Stéphane HAÏK s’interroge sur Lefigaro.fr sur la possibilitté de voir les internautes payer pour une information payante : “une étude des instituts Lightspeed Research et Trendstream, si 43 % des sites visités concernent l’actualité, 79 % des internautes français sont opposés à tout paiement pour l’information en ligne.”.”

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 01:43:21 +0100

“Evidence of his low confidence in the wisdom of erecting universal pay walls resides in the fact that he hasn’t built them, even though he’s been threatening to do so for months. And for evidence that he doesn’t really hate Google, look to his refusal to add to his sites the robots.txt file that prevents Google from adding them to its search database. Murdoch is simply jawboning. Three months ago he promised that News Corp. would start charging for its newspapers by June 2010. Now he doubts that the company will hit that mark. In typical Murdochian fashion, he’s sowing confusion and harvesting bewilderment.”

““One thing you have to realise is that online, we’re all learning. It’s very new. So it will take a lot of time to have reliable data, to really understand how efficient the web can be,” said Mr Fleurot, the CEO of PRCC (Public Relations Corporate Communications) and Publicis Events Worldwide. “You will always need mass media when, for example, you launch a product on a very broad scale. So you know, you have to consider the traditional media as a sort of place where you understand what’s going on, which is safe, and you must think of the web as a place where you are an explorer””

“Jarvis said news organisations will again cover beat and investigative reporting. He was also optimistic for the growth of hyperlocalised models in the UK and dismissed the idea that investigative journalism would die with newspapers as merely a misconception, stating; “I don’t know that I buy that. I think that investigative journalism has a market.””

“A recent op-ed in the New York Times lamented that the “shuttering of Gourmet [magazine] reminds us that in a click-or-die advertising marketplace, one ruled by a million instant pundits, where an anonymous Twitter comment might be seen to pack more resonance and useful content than an article that reflects a lifetime of experience, experts are not created from the top down but from the bottom up.””

“Social Search just went live in Google Labs. Google announced that it was working on this Social Search feature at the Web 2.0 Summit last week, but at that time, Google’s Marissa Mayer announced that it would only be available “in a few weeks.” Social Search taps into a user’s social network profiles and displays relevant links and status updates that members of a user’s own social network have shared at the bottom of the default search results page. According to Google, Social Search will enhance the search experience on Google by providing users with more personally relevant search results.”

Google's Eric Schmidt on What the Web Will Look Like in 5 years

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 11:06:24 +0100

* Five years from now the internet will be dominated by Chinese-language content.

* Today’s teenagers are the model of how the web will work in five years - they jump from app to app to app seamlessly.

* Five years is a factor of ten in Moore’s Law, meaning that computers will be capable of far more by that time than they are today.

* Within five years there will be broadband well above 100MB in performance - and distribution distinctions between TV, radio and the web will go away.

* “We’re starting to make signifigant money off of Youtube”, content will move towards more video. * “Real time information is just as valuable as all the other information, we want it included in our search results.”

* There are many companies beyond Twitter and Facebook doing real time.

* “We can index real-time info now - but how do we rank it?”

* It’s because of this fundamental shift towards user-generated information that people will listen more to other people than to traditional sources. Learning how to rank that “is the great challenge of the age.” Schmidt believes Google can solve that problem.
