Our TV isn’t working (the painters moved it and I need to reconnect it, plus we don’t have TV yet so don’t have anything to watch anyway). So, Patrick had an idea: he’d show me all the cool videos he’s found on the Internet (he has time to do such).
He showed me one awesome video, Ryan vs. Dorkman, and I asked him how he found that. He said that one day he was just thinking about StarWars and went to Google Video and searched on lightsabre fight. Not looking for anything particular, he said. He was so impressed with Ryan vs. Dorkman that he did another Google search (this time on the main search engine) and found this blog post by Michael Frist (who is the guy who did that clip).
I asked Patrick “why Google video and not YouTube or Blip.tv?” He said that Google had more light sabre videos than the other video services.
I said “that’s pretty impressive, Patrick, let’s go watch some Ze Frank.”
Which we did, laughed a lot, and now are trolling for other video.
Ahh, it’s nice having a 12-year-old and no TV to watch.
Of course, I had to do this to Patrick. I went to Google video. Searched on lame video. And showed him the fifth video titled “Mac’s are Bad.” Heheh.
What you watching on your Google TV? What’s your favorite search on Google video to find cool videos? Here’s one: search for “cool car” and you’ll find some cool videos with cars in them.
Ryan v Dorkman is a classic. On a similar vein have you checked out troops? It’s the “original” Star Wars fan film (the one that launched the current revolution, anyway) and its quite awesome. Well written, well edited, well shot, well done in its entirety.

Ze Frank is the man. Ze Frank 2008! I’ve been addicted to that show ever since I found it. He’s more knowledgeable than most tv anchors.

I like to search for “Charlie Rose” and watch some of the many full length episodes on Google Video. Some of my favorite guests: Bill and Melinda Gates and Warren Buffett; Hunter S. Thompson, Christian Bale, Ed Norton. Also, search google video for a movie called “Peace, Propaganda, and the Promised Land”. Riveting stuff.

So, I have a question. With a lot of videos showing up on these services how is the talent going to get paid for their content being rebroadcast or downloaded. Particulary videos of old TV shows? Or even “original” content created by someone? Does PodTech plan to pay their talent and also give them residual rights?
I mean, when a show is rerun on a network the talent tht created it gets residual compensation. How is that going to work with these hosted services?

LayZ: Yes, Podtech will pay. Residual rights? That’ll depend on the deal you sign with us. My content? Podtech owns it and I won’t see anything other than my salary.
But other people in the network? I could see someone totally keeping control of their content and just sharing advertising revenue.
We’ll have a few different contracts depending on what kind of partner or employee you are.

Should check out the google techtalks on google videos. Really good geeky stuff.

These crazy German girls do lip-synching right. Entertaining even though most of the songs define what’s wrong with pop.
I suggest the Barbie one. The song is very po-po-mo.

[...] This is a pretty funny conversation between Jeremy Pepper, and Shel Israel and myself at the TechCrunch party. We were goofin off, but if you’ve seen any of us speak at a conference we’re much more serious –ok that’s a lie. Robert and Patrick Scoble have been watching some Google TV as well –yeah I like the same shows that Patrick does, what does that say? I need to figure out a better process to upload videos, YouTube has size or duration restrictions and Google Video seems to take too long. I talked to the Blip folks on the phone, I’ll experiment with that. Also I had a conversation with Micki (Yes, the one who is in the valleywag ‘hottie’ contest) and she works for Revver. [...]
I’ve had a look at Google TV, but I must say I enjoy YouTube more. Maybe because, at least to me, it has better and more varied content.
This is a sample of what I’ve been watching lately.

WOW ! google videos are so greate.. Some of them are so amazing..

I realized while I was checking out video.goole that I have truly found a substitute for the lack of watchable tv programs. On more than one occation I have gone through the dial (remember the channel changer dial on tv’s?) and literally found nothing I wanted to watch.
Videos on computer represents to me a whole new opportunity. I watch them while at my desk, and can do other work at the same time rather than sitting like a lump on the couch. The variety of subjects seems unending. There is everything from juggling to eagles nests with everything in between and to the side.
And to make all this easy and fast, just this week I acquired my new computer (PC of course) with a Pentium 4 dual core 2.8 ghz. It is a wonderful step up.
So Robert please thank Patrick for his interest in google.video. I have got the bug.

@8 So PodTech will pay everytime someone plays content they’ve downloaded from your site? How are you going to track and compensate the owners if I, for example, share content with someone else that I’ve downloaded from your site, and they in turn start to share it? If I’m the owner of content I want to make sure I’m compensated, even years from now.

[...] I first learned of Ze Frank from Robert Scobles blog. I checked out his iTunes video podcast and thought it was neat. I am noticing a similar style among vloggers (mobuzz, rocketboom etc…) to jumpcut and reframe during a sentence or paragraph. In my opinion this is less stylistic and more about editing multiple takes together. This saves the vlogger from having to “know their lines” for more than a sentance or two. [...]
@15: No, I didn’t say that.
But, the new advertising distribution networks like the ones from Google, Yahoo, MSN, as well as the ones from Federated Media, allow you to share advertising revenues to multiple sources. In general with these networks you keep the content, you just agree to add the network’s bar to your Web site (which increases the traffic you’ll get, cause everyone else in the network is doing it too) and add the network’s advertising bar to our site. Many of the networks don’t even ask for exclusivity, although a few do.
At first, though, we’re doing our own revenue model. More to come soon.

I was just on the way to the videostore for a dvd on a boring evening here in Germany, but then I thought. Hey, Scoble is the guy who has got good ideas and so i just went to divx stage6. Great. Better than a dvd this night.
*thumbs up*

@17. I’m not talking about the networks. I’m talking about the people that actually wrote, produced and performed on the “vblog” or “podcast” I gotta think they want a piece of the action EVERY TIME that video or podcast is played, shared, or downloaded. How are you going to ensure their get they get what they deserve?
If this business takes off like you hope it will, I think you are in for some serious deal negotiating issues. You can’t think of yourself a merely a web version of Viacom. And even if you do, I think you need to go deeper than just working out how to slice up the advertising revenue. Buy hey! What do I know? You’re obviously more of an expert given your camera selling, drop out journalism school, OS installing, geek interviewing background.

[...] I suppose it’s these sorts of problems that people like Robert Scoble are trying to address at new media companies such as Podtech (although I guess we could all end up with evenings like this), and good luck to them. [...]
