Mike Arauz and I have a 2010 SXSWi panel that needs your vote.
Now, I won’t ask for your blind devotion here. I think you’ll genuinely dig what we’ve proposed to present.
Well, let’s start with the name… Kittens & Porn: You Choose the Winner …
Intrigued?
Wanna hear more?
Here’s the description,
Does your branded web video pass the “I’d rather be watching porn/kittens” test? Looking at the most viewed branded and unbranded web videos of the past 6 months, and the key metrics behind them, our audience will vote to decide which web videos reign supreme. Trophies included!
What? Did I say trophies?! Yep. I sure did.
In all seriousness, we’ve set up our panel to be centered around audience participation. Think of it as Mystery Science Theater 3000 meets American Idol. Oh, and we’ll be gathering and presenting a rich data set for some of the most popular videos on the web, not only including how popular they were, but how they spread and became that way.
I really do need your vote.
Do the democratic thing, and go vote now.
No poking your television [Social Networks]
“Some of the tools that allow people to build communities and socialize on Internet sites like MySpace and Facebook are making their way to the living room,” reports the Wall Street Journal. Awesome! That means we’ll be able to throw a sheep at Tina Fey while watching 30 Rock, right? Wrong. The article actually talks about using Xbox Live as a cheap voice-chat service, a Sony service which doesn’t exist yet, and a bunch of startups. Too bad, because I’d love to multitask my two favorite brain-dead activities: watching TV and clicking “ignore” on Facebook friend requests. (Illustration by Jason Schneider/Wall Street Journal)
