Exploring Stuff That Makes Life Great
To say that I like Britney Spears, is pretty much a lie. Not that I hate her in any such way, but she needs to take a chill pill and get out of the headline news for one day. With that in mind, internet video creator Greg Scarnici made Gimme More Pills. Based on Spears’ poor performance at the MTV 2007’s Music Video Awards, – months later – Scarnici has come up with a hilarious spoof.
Is it wrong to enjoy twisted videos like these?
We’ve perhaps been guilty of posting one-too-many iPod docks. But here’s one ‘pod player we couldn’t ignore-the Vers 2X.
It’s possibly the most environmentally-friendly iPod dock around, and a real beauty too. Continue reading “The Vers 2X iPod dock-The eco-friendly music player”
HD-DVD players, look away now because what you see before you is one of Sony’s latest line of Blu-Ray players.
This here (above)-is the Sony BDP-S550 and is the more well endowed of the new players to hit the market in the summer.
It will be able to access new features such as BonusView and BD-Live, which will allow wise Blu-Ray adopters to update their players online via its own ethernet port.
It also has 1GB of storage, 7.1-channel audio outputs and of course there is full 1080p hi-def goodness for the clearest, most vibrant picture possible.
Those wanting to get their mitts on it will have to wait for summer when it will cost $500. Check out the press site for more info.
The Blu-Ray era is well and truly underway.
We’ve been following the web 2.0 company Splashcast Media for exactly 1 year now. On February 25, 2007 we launched version 7.0 of StuffWeLike.com because of Splashcast. I rushed to quickly redesign the website and focus it on entertainment news and videos.
Over that time, we’ve worked very closely with Splashcast to help improve their offerings. Their original player looked like this:

When news broke out earlier today about Google finally opening the Adsense for Video vault with partners such as Revver and Blip.tv, I was ecstatic! Finally there’s a possibility that I can earn more money off of my videos. Sure both Revver and Blip, had their own ad systems, but with Revver I’ve only made $1 for 22k viewers!
I also signed up for the YouTube Partners. With YouTube as my second largest viewership audience, with 147k views. Hopefully I’ll have a better chance making money with YouTube – BUT who knows if I’ll be accepted into the program.
Oddly enough Yahoo Video is in first place for my viewer ratings with over a quarter of a million views. It’s a shame that Yahoo currently doesn’t offer a publisher ad-revenue sharing program.
It is pretty pathetic and very frustrating as a video producer that there isn’t a clear way to earn money off of these views. I’ll keep you all informed on my progress. If you’ve had more luck or have any recommendations, please write a comment.
