Make No Mistake: Google Is Taking On The TV Industry by Matt Rosoff

Back in August, Google chairman Eric Schmidt gave a speech to TV executives in Scotland where he explained how TV was evolving, and tried to convince them that it was futile to fight it.


TV was getting more social and more mobile, he said, and content creators should embrace these changes if they want to continue getting paid.


But he denied that Google itself was trying to compete directly with them.


Here’s what he said about Google TV:


When it launched, some in the US feared we aimed to compete with broadcasters or content creators. Actually our intent is the opposite. We seek to support the content industry by providing an open platform for the next generation of TV to evolve, the same way Android is an open platform for the next generation of mobile.


And here’s what he said about getting into the content business:


Some have suggested Google should invest directly in TV content. To argue that misunderstands a key point: Google is a technology company. We provide platforms for people to engage with content and, through automated software, we show ads next to content that owners have chosen to put up.  But we have neither the ambition nor the know-how to actually produce content on a large scale….But of course we are helping to fund content.


What a difference a couple months make.


Yesterday, Google made two major announcements that clearly signal its intentions to remake the TV business to its benefit.


First, it unveiled a new version of Google TV, its platform for interactive next-generation TV. The entire point of Google TV 2 is that it presents all content in one interface regardless of source — when you look for comedy shows or movies, for instance, you get your cable shows, Netflix rentals, and (critically) YouTube videos all arranged next to one another.


Google TV spokespeople were pretty explicit about the idea that it thinks TV is changing from a world of a few hundred channels to millions of “channels” available via the Web. And the number-one provider of web video content by far is YouTube.


Then, yesterday evening Google announced that it was launching more than 100 new YouTube channels with exclusive content from big-name celebrities and news organizations.


Google is directly funding this content with more than $100 million in advances, and it’s probably just the beginning. The company has also


Google_tv-sony_intel_logitech-android-chrome-w...

In other words, Google is seeding the explosion of video content on its own massively popular online video network, where it sells advertisements and makes money. Then, it’s providing an interface that puts that content on equal footing with the TV shows provided by the traditional TV industry, where Google’s presence is minimal. (Not for lack of trying — Google has a program called Google TV Ads that lets advertisers buy ads on traditional cable networks like CNN. So far, it does not make a material contribution to earnings, whereas YouTube is probably a billion-dollar business.)


This is smart — Google needs new avenues of growth. It’s already managed to move huge amounts of advertising budget from other media (particularly print) online. Video is obviously migrating online as well. So of COURSE Google is going to try and capitalize on this movement.


Yesterday’s announcements were a first big step in that direction.


The traditional TV industry should consider itself warned.

President Obama Provides a path to Refinance Student Loans and Gets His Groove Back.

Student loan reform can't wait



President Obama has ordered two changes to student loan policy that will help millions of Americans who are struggling to pay for their education. Watch this video to find out how these policies will affect you or someone you know.

President Obama Provides a path to Refinance Student Loans and Gets His Groove Back.

Well the President of the United States has got his Groove Back.  Not on his watch.  Not while the Executive Order is at his disposal.  About time.  Lets hope that this message is loud and clear related to the American Jobs Act.  This is change we can believe in. What is the opposition of feeding families and taking care of home. Pass this JOBS BILL AND STOP THE MADNESS.

Student loan reform can’t wait


President Obama has ordered two changes to student loan policy that will help millions of Americans who are struggling to pay for their education. Watch this video to find out how these policies will affect you or someone you know.


 


 


This just in from the White House:


2012


Jay –


President Obama just took two serious steps to make life a lot easier for folks with student loans — and there’s a good chance you or someone you know will benefit from these changes very soon.


Here’s how:


– Effective this January, if you’re someone who has different kinds of loans — guaranteed and direct — you’ll be able to roll them both into one direct loan and bring down your interest rate. You’ll only have to write one check a month, and you’ll see a discount. This switch adds no cost to taxpayers across the board.


– You might remember that, as part of last year’s student loan reform, borrowers’ loan payments could be no higher than 10 percent of their disposable income. This is a big deal — but it wasn’t going to help anyone enrolling before 2014. Today, the President announced that he’s speeding up this program so it will affect students next year — helping over 1 million students. This will have huge consequences for people struggling to make their student loan payments.


Sometimes, it can be hard to see how policy changes will actually affect your day-to-day life.


Not the case with this one. These changes will make a real difference in helping millions of Americans get by month to month.


We put together a video explaining how these changes will help Americans. Watch it to learn a little more about what today’s steps would do, and then make sure everyone you know who should hear about it does.



President Obama isn’t waiting on Congress to take action. He’s doing everything in his power, right now, to help bolster our economy and get folks back on their feet.


On Monday, he laid out new rules on federal mortgages to help make sure more families don’t lose their homes to foreclosure.


On Tuesday, the administration announced two new initiatives to help veterans find work.


Today, it means making changes that make student loans a lot easier to manage.


These are actions that can’t wait on the next vote or the next election. So long as people are struggling, this President and this administration will do everything in their power to help them when and where they can. It’s just that simple.


Now, let’s make sure that the millions of people who stand to benefit from today’s steps know about it.


Watch the video to learn more about today’s student loan changes — and then help get the word out:

Netflix and Transmedia Brandcasting as a Solution to the Dive.

Netflix is a great service suffering from its success and the squeeze of Content Owners. We need to rally around them to tell them what the customers want yet satisfy the Content Owner Royalty System. Transmedia Brandcasting achieves that. We need only show you how. Reed Good Luck as a customer and fan of the service just expanding to the UK will not stop the slide. They have Love Films and hate worse than we do paying for TV. Yet have mandatory fees/taxes for even having a TV in the House. I know I have lived there for 5 years.

By Maureen Aylward


Netflix is quickly becoming the largest video subscription service and its competition is racing to catch up. Netflix’s growth over the last year is a sign that something is happening in the online video streaming business. We asked our Zintro experts to comment on what’s happening in the industry, how it might be changing, and what new thing might be coming our way in online video services.


Jay O’Conner, CEO of World Colours Network Television and an expert in social media brandcasting and monetizing streaming video, says that Netflix and its nearest competitors will face challenges from a new breed of independent producers who are savvy enough to understand transmedia brandcasting and the relationship between social networked consumers and advertisers. Transmedia brandcasting involves optimizing brand narratives through multi-format, multimedia, and multi-device content and web services for mobile, print, packaging, signage, and satellite TV. “The company that can provide the technology, content, and mechanism to create a relationship from the audience to the advertiser to the brand will be the key player,” says O’Connor. “Companies like Netflix need to figure this out before Facebook and Google TV get there.  Otherwise, Netflix runs the risk of experiencing the same thing that Blockbuster did.”


To stay competitive Netflix, YouTube’s online service with Sony Pictures, and Amazon’s On-Demand all need be looking at multi-format options. Within five years, online video providers will be gateways for independent producers to release more content, which is what Facebook Social Cinema and GoogleTV are moving toward, O’Connor says.


Christophor Rick, an expert writer specializing in technology, new media and consumer electronics, a social media consultant, and CEO of Gamers Daily News, says that each of the cable operators is starting to work on their own customer-only streaming services; DiSH and DirecTV are going that way too. “It’s going to be a rapidly expanding market,” he says. But there are issues and concerns. “Netflix has 20,000 titles, but a lot of studios are shying away from them, afraid that they will turn into the Apple/iTunes of video and start dictating low prices, undercutting the potential profits of the studios,” says Rick.


However, Rick points out that Netflix has a plan in place that it is beginning to implement: removing the broadcasters and studios from the equation and simply buying content directly. “Netflix has licensed one show (House of Cards), which they could turn around and sell first-air rights to one of the broadcasters if the creators allow it,” he says.


This is how Netflix will survive, by cutting out the middle man and taking their place. Instead of buying rights to stream content from broadcasters, Netflix will buy it from the creators or buy all the rights and shop them around to broadcasters. “While it puts Netflix in direct competition with those they’re trying to license content from, it lets the industry know they’ve got cash to burn on new programs and are in the market to buy,” says Rick. “There is nothing stopping them from making a strategic alliance with a broadcaster, going after new content together, thereby creating a one-two punch of traditional and streaming rights.”

Tonight after Oprah‘s Life Class, I stuck around for the OWN Documentary Club Premier Miss Representation and boy am I glad I did.  As I lead and shape the future for World Colours Network Television getting this right the first time is paramount for the future of WCNTV.


Recognizing the Truths of this Documentary I am immediately launching the First Transmedia Women’s Council.  I would like to start with a 10 Member All Women Steering Committee to help us shape WCN Transmedia Programming for and by Women reflecting the images that reflect the diversity and beauty of women.  I also called my daughters to have them watch this documentary.  I highly recommend this documentary and I congratulate GIRLS CLUB ENTERTAINMENT for an excellent Documentary.


I also just became a Rep at the website.  Equal Rights for All is the call and I hope to learn more from the new Transmedia Woman’s Council.

Katie Couric





Miss Representation brings together some of America’s most influential women in politics, news and entertainment, including Condoleezza Rice, Nancy Pelosi, Katie Couric, Rachel Maddow, Margaret Cho, Rosario Dawson and Gloria Steinem to give audiences an inside look at the media‘s message and depiction of women. The film explores women’s under-representation in positions of power by challenging their limited and often disparaging portrayals in the media. Miss Representation takes the stand that the media is portraying women’s primary values as their youth, beauty and sexuality – rather than their capacity as leaders.

Premieres Thursday, October 20th at 9/8c, only on OWN.

MLK MEMORIAL NOW WHAT? Civil Rights to Platinum Rights Jobs Movement

MLK MEMORIAL NOW WHAT? Rare Footage of Dr. King Laying the Groundwork for The CIVIL RIGHTS TO PLATINUM RIGHTS JOBS MOVEMENT by Jay O’Conner

MLK MEMORIAL NOW WHAT? Civil Rights to Platinum Rights Jobs Movement











iReport —

Today finally we dedicate the Memorial for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.    For a moment we would like to examine what we believe Dr. Martin Luther  King was about to announce prior to his assassination and perhaps the  very reason he was indeed killed.

First Slavery happened and was an  injustice to people of African Descent.  No one denies that but what was  the larger plan to keep us enslaved.  And for that matter all Americans find themselves enslaved to 30 Year Mortgages and the perceived  American Dream.   One thing we have learned from Dr. King is that we are  all in this together.  Black, White, Brown and Yellow or otherwise.

Right now however we all need to focus on  people of African Descent.  In a matter of moment the First  African-American President will dedicate the Memorial for the First African American Civil Rights Leader.  But if Martin Luther King were alive and could speak from his Memorial what would he say.

In the rare videos below we will examine where he was going next.   On December 10, 2010 The United Nations General Assembly adopted UN Resolution 64/169 proclaiming 2011 THE INTERNATIONAL YEAR FOR PEOPLE OF AFRICAN DESCENT.

July 2011 International Goodwill  Ambassador Oscar J. Webb announced THE CIVIL RIGHTS TO PLATINUM RIGHT  JOBS MOVEMENT from Johannesburg South Africa during Nelson Mandela‘s Birthday Celebration.

 

Can you hear his passionate plea for Self Determination.  Here are some fact that are undeniable.

It is anticipated that African-Americans will spend 1.1 Trillion dollars in 2012.

African-Americans buying power makes the group the 14th largest Nation in terms of GDP.

Africa’s 54 Nations hold the future of the Natural Resources for the entire world.

The Resources from Africa are largely traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and Wall Street yet the benefit of those assets rarely reach the African-American Urban and Rural Communities.

 

WHAT NOW!

Why the invisible chains must be broken.   I remember learning about how elephants are trained as they are  young.   A huge chain is strapped to the leg and no matter how hard the  baby elephant tries to get away he cannot.  After a period of time as it  becomes futal to get away.  The Elephant resigns himself that he cannot  break free.  The big chain is not a tiny one but the conditioning or  the mindset has been created and burned into the brain of that Elephant.

 

Anyone see the similarity.  1.1 Trillion in Buying Power yet we are broke largely and unable to create our own jobs, determine  our own future.  That stops today with the Dedication of the Dr. Martin  Luther King Memorial.

The Africa Heritage Society invites your  membership and participation to The Civil Rights to Platinum Rights Jobs  Movement.  It’s Heritage Time and for the first time in History the  International Body which Governs the world The UN has issued this  important International Public Policy Statement and request ideas from  people of African Descent to celebrate the resolution.

MLK MEMORIAL NOW WHAT? Rare Footage of Dr. King Laying the Groundwork for The CIVIL RIGHTS TO PLATINUM RIGHTS JOBS MOVEMENT by Jay O’Conner

Why are we asking anyone for anything? When we already have 54 African Nations its Resources and 1.1 Trillion in Buying Power. It seems to me that we can determine our own future and its our responsibility to do so.



Unity is the Key. Here is a poem by my good friend Sonia Dixon that says it all.



UNITE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS



Here we are on distant shores

Searching for loveones lost

Knowing their pain and suffering

Was an ocean of love lost.



Cant you see the sun is shining

Bringing energies of love all

Come my people unite together

Wake up stand up be the love for all



The bells are ringing it is time

To answer the call of one

Get together my brothers and sisters

It's time you must unite as one



Unite Unite it's time it's time

You must unite as one

Hold together brothers and sisters

It's time to unite as one.

is the first, long-awaited, cell phone directory. The Nations Cell Book is focused on providing community services via web and mobile integrated products. There are over 300 million cell phone users in the United States and never, before now, has there been a directory with these phone numbers available to the public. Well, it’s here now!!!Membership also includes (other services that will be coming soon):


The Orange Book – This will replace the yellow pages online (No more destroying trees for paper)

Truckers Network Services (TNS)Advertising and many other benefits for truckers

Secondly, Mr. Robert Poole, CEO of The Nations Cell Book, Inc. will be donating huge amounts of money to many organizations that are dramatically suffering as a result of the economic crises that we are currently experiencing. Due to the overburdened financial situations that many are encountering, the donations to churches, school fundraisers, nonprofit organizations, small businesses, etc. are at a minimum and this consequently reduces the assistance they were once able to provide to those in need.
