Header December 7, 2007

Dear Publisher,

In this issue, catch the buzz!

Much ado about the Golden Compass

Nicole KidmanThe movie filling the Harry Potter/Narnia hole this winter is the Nicole Kidman fantasy "The Golden Compass." Like a certain wizard story that came before it, Compass generated its share of controversy after The Catholic League accused the movie of teaching atheism. EntertainmentDesk Editor Ricky Ribeiro navigates through all the attacks on The Golden Compass in an excellent blog post you can read here.

Autoplayed out

AutoPlayWe love Autoplay feeds as much as anyone. But you know what they say about too much of a good thing? The same holds true for Autoplay feeds. So starting this week, registered users are only permitted to use one Autoplay feed on a single page of a given website.

This rule only applies to users who have already embedded an Autoplay feed player - if you haven't embedded one already, I'm afraid you've missed the boat. To appease our advertisers, we've unfortunately had to remove that functionality from all the players in the Voxant Newsroom.

But who needs Autoplay anyway? There's plenty of compelling content inside the Voxant Newsroom that will have your users clicking away like there's no tomorrow (which, to be clear, there isn't when it comes to our Autoplay feed player).

Publisher Spotlight: YouTubeMeetup.com

PaulFrom an August, 2007 Associated Press profile: "Paul Bracewell, who goes by "Podcasting 101" on YouTube, has enthusiastically helped organize meetings through his Web site YouTubeMeetup.com. His largest was "777" held in New York's Washington Square Park on July 7, which drew several hundred attendees."

"My site? Hmm... it started out last December as a social media networking site where I wanted to offer cool videos to vote on and tools to help podcasters, vloggers, and viewers make the most out of the online video explosion. A year ago, only a handful of sites allowed video posting (e.g. YouTube, Podshow and Revver) and not many people on the net were embedding videos on their site.

My, my - how times have changed! There's a virtual tsunami of user-generated video out there today. My site is kinda like one of those little people Google's about to wipe out of existence if they don't ride the wave and change with the times. So I'm planning on making a number of "how-to build niche website" videos using Voxant content in 2008. There are plenty of WatchMojo travel videos in Voxant's database so I should have the site up and running next week without having to look anywhere else!

Snappy and Clever Closing

Paul Bracewell said it best - the internet is changing at a rapid pace. Those who don't ride the wave will be washed away by the Tide of Innovation and pulled out by the Undertow of Irrelevance into the Sea of Lost Internet Dreams (if I may extend a metaphor as far as is humanely possible).

Bracewell has waxed up his internet longboard with Voxant content and run headlong into the surf - and his success is nothing short of totally tubular. And the best part is you can do the same thing. So come on into the Voxant Newsroom - the water's fine.

Sincerely,

Evan McMorris-Santoro, Senior Editor
