A good summary of the Yahoo! and Google Deal
For those of you who may not be 100% clear of what the recent Google and Yahoo! tie up means, Techcrunch’s Micheal Arrington is being interviewed on US TV on this clip below, and sums it up nicely.
If you work for a company who does anything on the online search space, your marketing / online people need to understand what this means going forwards.
The power of media - on display at the Hancock Premiere
Having seen Mr Will Smith at Hancock premiere last night in London, what really struck me was the instant media broadcasting and capturing which was going on. There were two distinct camps here:
The fans:
And the pros:
There a number of things which really stood out for me:
- The massive amount of digital cameras being used by the public to both take pics and video the stars
- The massive amount of phones being used to record the event, both video and pics
- The pro photographers taking shots and instantly sending them from their laptops via 3G to their editors or news agencies / showbiz agencies.
In fact, all this technology is available to anyone right now, and not for huge money. Even I, with my trusty iPhone, took a picture of Will Smith and emailed it to my flickr account, so that it instantly posted it on my blog. User generated content at its finest. The first major event where people recorded live footage using cameras happened during the horrific day when London came under attack from terrorists. Live footage was shot from camera phones. It is not a fact, that if a major news event happens, it is very, very likely that a member of the public will capture it in some form of digital format and not a professional. This was unheard of 10 years ago, and even 5 years, it was still very rare.
With the take up of 3G services, offering fast data transfer and better mobile video, the world is ready to be broadcast at a moment’s notice, and this can be from just about every corner of our planet. Pretty incredible.
