I’m pleased to announce our new domain name investment: Imaginar.com
I was looking forward to buy this domain name wich has a lot of potential. Verbs are big in this business, “Imaginar” is a spanish word that means “to imagine”.
As a domain investor, I believe a good domain is an important part of an online strategy, but as content producer I also know that the real success of a business depends on the quality of the product and not just on the name.
The web isn’t merely words, it’s information about things in the real world
Google has just acquired what looks to be a revolutionary content aggregator for web developers. Metaweb build a platform which enables site owners, publishers and developers to easily and intelligently add content from across the Web. With a large open database of things in the world Metaweb provides site owners with a seamless way to access third party content from leading sources like New York Times, Twitter, Rotten Tomatoes, Hulu, and a wide range of others.
As the amount of information on the Web continues to expand, it is becoming increasingly important for bloggers, site owners, and publishers to surface the right content for their readers. Metaweb is a resource to help site owners achieve that goal and keep their readers coming back.
This video explains the concept and how Metaweb could bring great content to site owners.
The first trailer for The Social Network a.k.a. “the Facebook Movie,” didn’t reveal much. Now, the second trailer is out, and… we know perhaps even less.
Featured in the trailer are:
- Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook co-founder and CEO)
- Eduardo Saverin (co-founded Facebook during his last year of the Economics study at Harvard University. His departure from Facebook was the subject of subsequent legal action. He later won the right to have his name listed among the other founders in a lawsuit.)
- Dustin Moskovitz (co-founder of Facebook – left the company in October 2008)
- Erica Albright (no idea who this is, but according to the screenplay a girl Zuckerberg was dating a couple of years ago)
- Divya Narendra (started ConnectU, the social network that sparked the idea for Facebook, with Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss. ConnectU ended up suing Facebook for stealing the idea and using some of their source code.)
- Tyler Winklevoss (Together with his twin brother Cameron and Narendra, owns ConnectU, previously HarvardConnection. In 2004, ConnectU filed a lawsuit against Facebook alleging that Zuckerberg had broken an oral contract with them. The parties reached a confidential settlement agreement in February, 2008.)
- Larry Summers (Former President of Harvard University)
- Sean Parker (In 2004, Parker began informally advising the creators of Facebook, and became its President when the company incorporated that same year. In 2006, Parker joined the Founders Fund, a venture capital fund based in San Francisco, as Managing Partner.)
- Cameron Winklevoss (see above)
For those not in the know, The Social Network is a Columbia Pictures film based on Ben Mezrich’s book “The Accidental Billionaires, A Tale of Sex, Money, Genius and Betrayal,” a story about the founding of Facebook. It hits theaters in October 2010.
Sony Pictures has released the first trailer for the upcoming movie, “The Social Network”, directed by David Fincher. It’s based on the history of Facebook. The movie’s official site has been posted and is currently slated to be released in October 1, 2010.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I hits theaters on November 19th, 2010.
The first full-length trailer for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, one of the most hotly anticipated movies of both 2010 and 2011, has finally made its debut on YouTube and the web.
Making the shift into web video can be exhilarating, and the web makes it affordable and feasible to test our your video strategy. For filmmakers, it’s still an undefined territory and a developing environment, in which you can test out new ideas and techniques with respect to production, distribution, and audience engagement.
While there is no exact formula, there are some principles worth exploring and here are some I think are worth sharing.
The ROLED screen was first announced in May 2010. The new Sony LED displace can be Rolled on a pen. 4.1 inch Sony OLED display integrating organic thin-film transistors and OLED technology and can be wrapped around a diameter as small as 4mm (a pencil). Although still in production, expect to see this baby on the market in the near future.
OLED
An organic light emitting diode (OLED), is a light-emitting diode (LED) whose emissive electroluminescent layer is composed of a film of organic compounds that emit light when an electric current passes through it. This layer of organic semiconductor material is formed between two electrodes, where at least one of the electrodes is transparent. Such devices are used in television screens, computer monitors, small, portable system screens such as mobile phones and PDAs, watches, advertising, information and indication. OLEDs can also be used in light sources for general space illumination, and large-area light-emitting elements. Due to their earlier stage of development, OLEDs typically emit less light per unit area than inorganic solid-state based LEDs similarly designed for use as point-light sources. OLEDs have certain advantages over traditional liquid crystal displays (LCDs). OLED displays do not require a backlight to function. Thus, they can display deep black levels and can be thinner and lighter than LCD panels. OLED displays also naturally achieve higher contrast ratios than either LCD screens using cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs) or the more recently developed LED backlights in conditions of low ambient light such as dark rooms. There are at least two types of OLEDs: those that are based on small molecules and those that employ polymers. Adding mobile ions to an OLED creates a Light-emitting Electrochemical Cell or LEC, which operates slightly differently than an OLED.
