Hugh asks where marketing is headed:
"Here is one thought I came away with: As traditional, Madison-Avenue-style advertising gets more expensive and less relevant by the day, as the traditional mainstream media advertising business model gets continues to nosedive, where is all the client's business going to move to, as it seeks out greener pastures? Google? Perhaps. Purple Cow? Sure. But where else?First, do let us begin to cease-and-desist referring to the MSM as 'mainstream'. They aren't. But what are they? The MSM is 'oldstream'.
"Seriously. Where else?"

My dad really gets a kick out of Rachael Ray's cooking show.
He's needed a knife sharpener for a while, but I'd not found just the right one. No use getting the man anything that isn't just what he wants / needs.
Think this knife sharpener is THE ONE.

From their website:
"Political issues today are driven more and more by money and market forces. So much so, that sometimes, the Home of the Brave and Arsenal of Democracy seems little more than a supermarket. Politicians use focus groups and clever marketing ideas to reach out to their constituents. They see us less as fully participating citizens than consumers for buying into their raw ideas and dishonest issues."They inspire the faux artist as well as faux journalist in me.

Ran the flash version a recent Faux Press promo through BubblePly's Thought Bubble Generator.
Thanks to Scoble's Link Blog for the pointer.
Link blog sharing is created as a function of Google Reader. Posts marked "share" are collected and an RSS feed is generated. Testing Google Reader these days. Don't know if it's making my blog reading more or less efficient. More on that later.

The capacity to send image files via RSS in the form of PDF's is critical for media producers, even if media producers don't fully understand their importance yet.

Did I mention Click.tv?
Yeah. I've mentioned 'em before.
Lanza's the guy.
The workflow has inspired me to collect the filmworks from "The World's Longest Open Love Letter", run 'em through Blip.tv and Click.tv and here @ the Blogger site. This will hopefully help to find the voiceovers in the text and timing of it. Notes.
Perhaps this is a way in which ad-hoc directors among you might be able to field questions for the interview footage that needs to be recorded to stitch the aggregated performance pieces into a cohesive filmwork. A documentary. An art documentary. The next major project that fills the days.
Wonder how this Click.tv flash interface will translate over at Mefeedia. Hmmm. If it translates, I can collect the films over there. In a Mefeedia Collection.
From the pespective of the documentary-as-healing and giving-backness.
Who wants to play?
Find I cannot ask myself the right questions.
Will you help me find the right questions?
Pretty please.
Don't make me beg.
_____
POST NOTE: Contacted Mike Lanza about the fact that there's a problem with something or other over at Click. He says they're on it.
12/15 - 7:17 p.m. EST: Lanza sent me some new code a couple times. We're working on it.

Holland Wilde is a cultural farmer and maker of the videoblog site "Media Nipple" whose motto is "nipples sell everything."
In the linked post - one of his recent best - he examines the recent media trend of demonizing nature. Holland says:Television must make money. And one of the very best ways to attract viewer eyeballs is to create fear. This makes Nature a perfect target for exploitation. In a mediated world, humans must fear all that is natural.
Holland collects and shares moving images from the MSM for analysis and shows us where the media's headed. Consuming the soon-to-be Doctor Wilde's media excerpts is an effective antedote to propaganda and highly recommended.
In the media enclosure, Chris Ritke of 49Media interviews Holland on the what's and why's of the necessity of Cultural Farming. Chris is a fine interviewer. I know from experience.

I'm not quite ready to send this film down the RSS pipeline quite yet, but am interested in checking out Click.tv's most recent interation.
As an aspiring documentary film maker, the idea of being able to develop voiceover content with this tool is entrancing. Envision it helpful as 'teleprompter' when the time comes to record.
Check it out - leave even an inane comment. This is a fine, intuitive UI.
Best to let Click's Mike Lanza speak for himself:
Dear Friend of Click.TV:
I'm excited to announce to you the general availability of the newest Click.TV Player. It's quite a leap for us. You can see it on a special demo page (http://www.click.tv/ctss/worldcup.html) or on our home page (www.click.tv). It has the following new features:
Pushbuttons for track selection
------------------------------------------
Just like on that old car radio, you can push buttons to see "views" of a video. Just put your mouse over the videoand click one of those tiles on the left. "ENTIRE VIDEO"is the default, but clicking on a track name plays just the comments in that track. Try it!
---------
Click on the EMAIL button to email the video to someone. Note that if you're currently viewing a track, you can email *just* that track. This even works for a search track! Here's an example - a "zidane" search track of the 2006 World Cup between Italy and France: View the movie
Creating clips with comments
----------------------------------------
Creating or editing comments with precise start and end points is easy now. To check it out, click "+COMMENT" to add a comment and press "edit start/end points" to reveal the start/end point editing interface.
Compact mode
---------------------
Compact mode is now accessible via the button on the upper right. Now, all functionality is accessible in compact mode. The only thing that you give up is the ability to view all comments in a list. Instead, they appear one-by-one as subtitles overlaying the bottom of the video.
Usability enhancements
---------------------------------
We've made dozens of subtle usability enhancements. For instance, the matrix that overlays the video now fades away after a couple seconds of inactivity. Also, you can now scroll through comments in the comment pane while the video is playing.
Please let me know what you think of this new version, and also please contact me if you have new ideas for how you might use Click.TV on your web site.
Thanks for your support.
- Mike Lanza
PS We'll be launching many more exciting things in the coming months. Stay tuned!

Roy Trumbull's voice is exceptionally well suited for reading. His Story Spieler Podcast includes childrens' books (including fairytales), poetry, and my favorite, the Short Attention Span Philosopher. Check him out.
This is Roy's feed.
Trumbull's November 23rd reading was of Carl Sandburg's "Chicago".
Enjoy.

Impossible for me to resist sharing this with y'all.
Gigglin' m'self silly over here.
Thanks Doug.
Hey, Doug, if your cartoons were in pdf format, they'd be sucked down the RSS tube for distribution through iTunes. I'm just saying...
I'm currently subscribed to your fine cartoons via RssFwd.com They arrive with my email. Would love to have 'em come through iTunes.
iTunes recognizes pdf files, which is a great way to share text / photos where layout means something.
The ulterior motive in mentioning this is to encourage developers to create a single means of aggregation that will deal with any rich media I want to create or consume - audio, video, still images, pdf's and text.
So far, iTunes comes closest since they pass pdf's, but as MMeiser says, iTunes doesn't link back to creators, and the capacity to travel with one click to the original post is more important than you might at first blush think.
