Charlie Sheen LIVE on TMZ from his backyard
TMZ is the future. :-) Watch the archived video of Charlie Sheen from his backyard. Part 1: Video streaming by Ustream Part 2: Video streaming by Ustream Sheen's interviews upstage Oscars a day after: The interviews heightened the competition between the network morning shows. Sheen gave his interview to ABC on Saturday, and the network said it was under the impression he wouldn't speak to any other network over the weekend because it planned a "20/20'" special on Tuesday, but Sheen spoke to NBC on Sunday.
The #oscars iPad App featuring @ShiraLazar reporting live
![]() The #oscars iPad App featuring @ShiraLazar reporting live, originally uploaded by stevegarfield. CC BY-NC-SA Favorite moment from last night: @ShiraLazar refers to Andrew Garfield as Steve Garfield on the #Oscars iPad live stream. ![]() It would have been nice if the control room cam was not broadcast on a delay. I would have liked to have seen a raw feed of the host cam, instead they had a director choosing camera shots for that cam. The live red carpet cam reminded me of last year's Oscars where I was on the red carpet, as a guest of Kodak, in seat 1, row 1 and doing some live streaming via Ustream.

Peter Guber: Business storytelling must be done in person
Great NY Times article about Peter Guber's new book about how important story and meeting face to face is, In Film and in Life, the Story Is King: Like a Hollywood movie, he figured out, the stories that drive professional life — the narrative that is part of pitches, résumés, introductions and every conversation about business goals and achievements — work best when they are grounded in emotion. By and large, they require a hero. Dramatic tension and even a few props help...His new book: Tell to Win: Connect, Persuade, and Triumph with the Hidden Power of Story Saturday, February 26, 2011

Trying to Watch The Social Network at Home
Netflix At first I thought I'd watch The Social Network via Netflix and add it to my queue. But when I last went to check, I saw that it was a very long wait. ![]() And it's not available for streaming. Next try, Amazon. Amazon: Video On Demand - Streaming I've got Amazon.com on Demand video on my TiVo. When I chose to watch the movie, I was asked for a 4 digit PIN #. I didn't know my PIN #. D'oh! ![]() Time to head to the computer. Amazon: Video On Demand - Download I went over to my computer and chose to Download the movie to my Tivo. ![]() Then I went to the TiVo to see the status of the download. Nothing. Watched last week's Glee, then took a look at NOW PLAYING. The Social Network was not there. Ended up giving up and checked mail. Download Failed There were a number of failure messages telling me that my Tivo didn't have enough room on it to download The Social Network. Greetings from the Amazon Video on Demand Team!After making room, the download started. Note: It cost $3.99 to download to my TiVo via the computer vs. $4.99 to download directly from the TiVo. Feedback to Amazon So I gave some feedback to Amazon.com suggesting that they send the failure message direct to the TiVo box Messages. Amazon Responds Amazon wrote right back: Thanks for suggesting that we add the ability to send an error message such as the insufficient space to the TiVo messages directly, to Video On Demand. Customer feedback like yours is very important in helping us continue to improve the experience of watching our digital videos.Nice fast response. I'll be Watching - Very Soon The Social Network is now on my TiVo. I'll be watching it shortly. Very shortly it seems since it's going to be deleted from my TiVo tomorrow! ![]() Where would you go to watch The Social Network?

"There are moments in history when just because things were the same way in the past doesn’t mean they will be that way in the future."
![]() Great NY Times write up about the Egypt uprising, Dual Uprisings Show Potent New Threats to Arab States: According to American officials, senior members of the government in Saudi Arabia argued that the United States should back Mr. Mubarak even if he used force against the demonstrators. By Feb. 1, when Mr. Mubarak broadcast a speech pledging that he would not run again and that elections would be held in September, Mr. Obama concluded that the Egyptian president still had not gotten the message.Interesting insight into Egyptian military actions: Soldiers of the Egyptian military, evidently under orders to stay neutral, stood watching from behind the iron gates of the Egyptian Museum as the war of stone missiles and improvised bombs continued for 14 hours until about four in the morning.Read more.

I Supported @acarvin's #Egypt Coverage
Wanna support my #egypt coverage? Pls donate to your NPR station http://n.pr/b7N0RZ then tweet amount & station w/ tag #gave4andy. Pls RT! I supported @acarvin's #egypt coverage w/a $1,200 donation to @WBUR, my NPR station http://n.pr/b7N0RZ #gave4andy. Pls RT! Has Andy Carvin found the future of fundraising by using his personal brand to generate donations for NPR? “I’m a friend of Andy, and found myself continuously going back to his Twitter stream over the past few weeks to find out what was happening in Egypt,” Garfield said via e-mail. “I wanted to support NPR in some way for letting Andy explore this new way of reporting.” Since the donation, he’s gotten a tweet, a direct message, and a phone call from WBUR thanking him for his support.Andy's appeal worked because it was personal and he only asked once in 18 days. If he tweeted 400 times a day for 18 days, that would be 7,200 tweets, with just one asking for a donation. That's a good ratio. :-) #gave4andy: Andy Carvin and the ad hoc pledge drive: Carvin’s work cultivating sources and sharing their updates has turned curation into an art form, and it’s provided a hint of what news can look like in an increasingly networked media environment. “It really has stood out as an alternative model of news,” says Kinsey Wilson, NPR’s senior vice president and general manager of digital media. It’s also led to earnest talk of a Pulitzer for social media curation (with Carvin, of course, as the prize’s first recipient) and to equally earnest discussions, among Jeff Jarvis and others, of how to translate Carvin’s curatorial prowess into a full-fledged business model.Curating the Revolution: Building a Real-Time News Feed About Egypt: PC: Do you think curation is a new type, or approach to journalism?Thanks Andy, and thanks to NPR for giving Andy the freedom to tell Egypt's story.

Open Pay-Per-View On Ustream
![]() Open Pay-Per-View and Ad-Free Broadcasting Coming Soon to Ustream Users: Ustream Open PPV will allow any Ustream broadcaster to apply directly to Ustream for the ability to charge viewers for content. Once a broadcaster is approved for Ustream’s Open PPV program, they will be able to monetize their content via PayPal payments. Let’s say you host a weekly show, such as a music show, a cooking show or a conference on Ustream, but you decide to produce an episode with special content – such as high-profile guests or a private lesson. As an approved Ustream Open PPV user you’ll be able to charge your viewers to watch the premium content. And, voila – pay-per-view is democratized and broadcasters have a chance to attract some of Ustream’s 45 million monthly viewers.Just got my authorization email. I'm going through the sign up process. Some interesting facts: Revenue Share and Payment In consideration of the rights granted hereunder, the parties will share revenue generated from the sale of Access Codes to your Events as follows: All legitimate cash receipts actually received by Ustream from the sale of Access Codes (either Pay Per View or VOD) to the Event, less refunds or charge backs related to the sale of Access Codes (“Pay Per View Revenue”) will be split as follows: Fifty Percent (50%) of Pay Per View Revenue to you, andINSTRUCTIONS FOR UPLOADING EVENT CONTENT AND TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: Your equipment for purposes of generating and uploading Event Content to the Services will meet the following technical specifications: 1. Dedicated LAN line with a minimum upload bandwidth of 1 mbps. I'll have try a PPV event to test this out. Hmm... What should it be?
