“Simple” and “Easy”

How To Quickly & Easily Publish Business Videos

April 2, 2009

I use Amazon S3 to host my business videos.
S3 offers incredible performance, unlimited storage, and is extremely affordable. Another Purple Cow from Amazon.
Plus it looks a lot more professional than hosting your business videos on a crowded social video site with user generated videos and ads surrounding it.

Amazon S3 for video hosting.

Marc Andreesen on Video, iPhone, FaceBook and Google

February 22, 2009

Excellent interview by Charlie Rose.
And the discussion about monetizing FaceBook is very interesting.
And a cool thing about Google Video (not to be confused with YouTube) is that you get a link right on the page, to download the video (iPod/iPhone friendly). So load up for offline viewing at the gym or on the train!

I signed up for Twitter a while ago. But I never “got it” – until recently – when I figured out the awesomeness of microblogging.
Seth Godin wrote this on his blog:

Are You Keeping A Tab On Your Competitors – and Yourself?

If I had to pick just one blog, and could read only one blog for the rest of my life – including my own blog (the one you’re reading right now) – I would pick Seth Godin’s blog.
Seth’s blog is (hyperbole alert) amazing, educational, informative, remarkable, mind-blowing, extraordinary, purple, eye-opening and goose-pimple-raising good.
