Crush It With Video

June 4, 2011

About 4 years ago, when I decided to sign-up my kids for piano lessons, of course the first thing I did was to start thinking about which keyboard to buy. I did extensive research online for keyboards: I did Google searches, visited an insane number of web sites, musician forums, read reviews on Amazon and [...]

Burning Your Brand Into Their Eyes (literally!)

December 18, 2010

Awesome idea! Know that thing that happens after you stare into the sun and then close your eyes? Know how you see a bright ring that then gradually fades away? BMW came up with the same concept and created an ad that did that to viewers. Now the idea itself is nothing groundbreaking. But what’s [...]

Presentation Matters

September 24, 2010

… and so does “music” – especially when it comes to just about any kind of video online. When your mother admonished you when you were young for dressing like a bum to your first job interview, you probably didn’t realize how important “presentation” is. But you’ll be even more surprised how much it matters, [...]

Video LightBox Script

December 20, 2009

A Lightbox is a piece of JavaScript used to display images and videos in an ‘overlay’. Basically, a user can click on an image to either have the image – or a video – magnified in a Lightbox window. It is usually accompanied by the use of a dark background, usually a dimming of the [...]

Free 7FigureCode Videos

December 15, 2009

I almost purchased this product when it was originally launched at $997 (I think). But I’m glad I didn’t back then, because now I got it for free. Well, almost free. Paid $15.95 S&H. But I think this is a great strategy though. Charge enough for Shipping & Handling to cover the cost of your [...]

How To Destroy A Brand In 30 Seconds

November 8, 2009

I’ve been a fan of Guy Kawasaki for a while now. Not a fan-boi type, but still admired him enough to call myself a “fan”. I follow him on Twitter, read his blog occasionally, and love to watch his videos as he is a great presenter and speaker who adds a lot of humor and [...]

What Would Microsoft Do?

September 24, 2009

Here’s something I completely forgot to add to my earlier post about “What Would – – – – Do?“… Yes, I do occasionally think “What Would Microsoft Do?“. And then of course, I do EXACTLY the OPPOSITE – especially when it comes to the quality of their products, their marketing, and their branding (or lack [...]

What Would – - – - – Do?

September 21, 2009

I believe it is critically important to have role models, teachers, mentors, gurus, leaders, spiritual guides – from whom we can draw courage, inspiration, enlightenment, guidance – in times of need at various stages of our life. So here’s a short list of my role models, who have all tremendously inspired me, taught me, and [...]

Welcome to Techiiies.TV

April 19, 2009

I started Techiiies.tv as a fun project, and I’m pretty confident that YouTube would run out of storage space before I run out of ideas for creating techiiie videos. Oh, and by the way, if you’re wondering about the weird spelling of Techiiies, it was of course because the name “Techies” (with the single “i”) [...]

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 [...]

YouTube records more searches than Yahoo!

January 21, 2009

Last week, I searched YouTube (not Google) for how to “change wiper blades“, and watching a couple of the videos helped me change the wiper blades on my car in under 2 minutes (something I had been putting off for almost a year!) Here is an interesting article about the shift in the way people [...]

YouTube Time Anchor Trick: Skip-Ahead Linking To Video

December 11, 2008

Let’s say you found this incredible video on YouTube that you wish to share with your subscribers/friends/family. But you watched it already and say, the first 3 minutes is all garbage (or just plain boring). So how do you link to the video such that your viewers skip the 3 minutes and go directly to [...]
