Worried about our future, me too. but then I saw this:
NYTLABS? Who knew? I believe this kind of stuff will save use, not video. The video hype is just that, hype, remember the hype about blogs, citizen-journalism and user generated content. Those didn't save or kill us did they? This and compelling content that users can interact with, is what will survive and be our savior.

Film Storytelling vs. Radio Storytelling…an Example
These days, newspaper reporters carry microphones and radio producers carry cameras. Everybodys scrambling to get on the multimedia bandwagon. We can debate whether this convergence is value-added or watered-down, but its certainly a trend.

You have the BIGGEST EGO ON THE WEB. But I’m glad that you have time to search the web for useless info BECAUSE i DON’T.
BIGGEST EGO ON THE WEB? do i get a prize for that?
What kind of idiot trolls the web and makes dumb ass comments like that anyway? Don’t like this site, just leave without shitting on it before you go, hey Mike, maybe we should give you the BIGGEST ASSHOLE ON THE WEB AWARD! Keep it up Richard, I, for one, love what you are doing!
Richard your website is must read for me at least 5 times a week or more. I really appreciate what you manage to find sifting through things related to multimedia. A great resource to make me aware of new products and uses for them and general information on audio/video photojournalism and related activities. Please keep it up, and thanks.
tnxs, i was hoping someone would come to my aid. my large ego is brusied, but i’ll survive.
It’s true, you don’t sleep.
Last I checked the “EGO” award was a case of Corona, with limes, to pry out another rant… I’ll even spring for a cooler, some ice and the fedex acct number to send it to San Jose… I don’t know where you find the time to find all the “useless” info.. but thank you… yours is always the first “multi” site I check as I make the rounds trolling for more intel…
Any suggestions on what we send Mike for his award?
