Veronica Belmont has officially joined Revision3. Having recently announcing that she’s leaving Mahalo Daily, she will be co-hosting Tekzilla with Patrick Norton. I guess this is a cool move. I already watch Tekzilla so seeing Veronica on it is a plus. She’s already done several guest co-hosting since Jessica Corbin left the show. I’m going to miss seeing Veronica on Mahalo Daily though. I really liked the feel of those shows a lot. Tekzilla is definitely more traditionally structured like a TV show. I know she says that there’s a lot of talented people working at Mahalo, but I just don’t think it’s the same without Veronica.
I just got wind of this. I really don’t know how long it’s been out, but I just found out about Adobe TV today. I think everyone is trying to do the video thing. I’m glad Adobe is. Adobe TV is basically a hub where users of Adobe products can find videos by so-called experts with tips, tutorials and general information about the various Adobe products. I skimmed through the titles. They are some that I would like to check out when I have time.
Something very unexpected happened with Flickr today. Flickr is no longer just a place to share and store your photos. It now is allowing users to upload video clips. They’re introducing it as a “long photo” feature. Other restrictions are that only pro users can upload videos, videos must me 90 seconds or less, and they must be created by the user. They have an FAQ page set up for video now. A group called Video! Video! Video! has already been created to share with the Flickr community.
I’m not sure if I would try out the video upload. Maybe if I got the Flip Video, I might. I already spend enough time going through and processing my photos. I don’t think I would have time to edit video.
Hulu is a new video streaming service owned by NBC Universal. It launched earlier this year in March. I really didn’t give it a look since it came out. I think I glanced at the site when it was in beta and I remember it not being very useful. Last week, however, I finally gave it a chance and checked it out. After hearing talk about it on a recent episode of TWIT, I wanted to see if Hulu was just a wasted of space.
For those of you who have not heard or seen Hulu yet, it basically is a video streaming site that provides video clips, full TV shows and movies with limited advertising. I was surprised by how minimal the advertisement was. I was a couple episodes of My Name is Earl and the only commercial I really noticed was the beginning screen where it said the episode was brought to you by HP or something like that. On another night, I watched one of my favorite episodes from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I Only Have Eyes For You. It was awesome. They have the first two seasons of Buffy.
They don’t only have full episodes of older shows. As I mentioned before, they have Earl and other new shows like The Office. They have a decent selection of movies too, a lot of them full-length. The video quality is good. It is at a much higher resolution than YouTube. You should definitely check out Hulu. It is great for catching up on certain shows or movies or even to discover new shows.
One of the best Superbowl commercials this year. It makes an obvious reference to a classic movie. The Audi R8 is 4.4 seconds away from being my dream car right now. My birthday is coming up in a few days. If anyone has $109,000 to burn, don’t hesitate to get me one.
Veronica Belmont interviews Tay Zonday of Chocolate Rain fame on the latest Mahalo Daily. It’s weird seeing him out of the context of that one video. I had no idea that Tay is studying for a PhD in American Studies at my alma mater, the U of M. Didn’t even know he was from around here. Honestly, his Chocolate Rain video weirds me out a little, but you’ve got to give him credit for being so passionate about his music. I’m not sure why I watched the whole interview including the 3 minute performance at the end. Maybe it’s because Veronica had the sweetest t-shirt on. Veronica, why are you so cool?
