Technology That Affects You and Me

Mark R Robertson at Reel SEO Video Marketing reports that YouTube is now supporting HD 1080p video. They're also going back and re-encoding previous uploaded 1080 video capable projects. What does that mean?

Hmmm... let's see:

• Broadcast quality video streaming for free to the producer.

• Ad capable (if it gets enough hits)

• Basically you have your own network!

So get that Canon 7D out there and start shooting!

Jim Shelley runs down the whole ITablet and open source tablet rumors. This is important because quite frankly no one really wants to read their comics on an IPhone. It really does the artists and storytellers a disservice. We can do better.

And yes - we must do better. We are poised to take some of the business away from people who forgot the audience. Well hell, we are the audience and we at least deserve a shot to try an entertain "our people."

While at AFM I heard Stephen Susco (GRUDGE) talking about genre writing, and I'll paraphrase here and say:

You don't see thousands of websites that get millions of hits and funnel billions of dollars centered around the Rom-Com. There's a huge audience for genre material (Scifi, Action, Horror and the blending of same) that's always hungry.

Feed them something good.
