Google and Arcade Fire got together and made this video that uses your childhood home’s address to create a unique viewing experience for each person. Works best in Google Chrome apparently, but I have been having some trouble to work. Check it out!

you should do this. this is awesome.

This is pretty cool.

In today’s age, we don’t judge books by their covers. We judge them by their thumbnails. We also judge videos, e-books, software, and people the same way. Engaging an audience demands engaging them visually, no matter the medium. Some of our peers in the online video community recently noted that Tumblr allows the display of thumbnails for YouTube embeds on their dashboard, but other popular video sites, such as Vimeo and Blip.tv, are currently left out from showcasing their user videos with a thumbnail image.

Rocketboom R&D, the development unit of the Rocketboom network, has created a simple solution: a browser add-on that allows Tumblr users to see any video’s known thumbnail in their Tumblr dashboard. There’s no platform favoritism; this enables nearly every other common video platform the ability for thumbnail display. The add-on was created using Mag.ma, our own video aggregation service, to do thumbnail lookups for numerous video platforms with our simple API methods. The results? Uniformity for Tumblr users and creative support for content creators.

Get your browser add-on for Firefox, Chrome, or Safari, and visit the Tumblr Video Thumbnails add-on page for information, installation help, and more. Special thanks to our friends at Vimeo, Blip.tv, and Wreck & Salvage for their testing and support.

FINALLY! Thank You!!

*Note: I wish videos actually embedded full-size on the dashboard so you can play them without expanding. More visual impact than a small thumbnail. Seems like that’s why photos get reblogged more than videos do.

Episode 17: The One About the Identity Problem of Web Video

Direct MP3 link to this episode

It’s been a while since the last New Mediacracy, so we took an opportunity to go back to basics with the core group of NM, Zadi Diaz, Chris McCaleb, and Steve Woolf. In the theme of getting back to basics, most of this episode’s discussion centers around the identity of web video, or the lack thereof. And a ton of discussion about working towards the sustainability of scripted web shows.

Also, there is the usual excess of drinking and the table we are sitting around hates us. Probably for our freedoms. It creaks and cracks throughout the whole show, sorry about that. But give it a listen, and post your thoughts in the comments.

So here’s the good thing: If you live in a snowy place, it’ll keep the snow off your headlights.

…Here’s the bad thing: You’ll look batshit crazy.

Equality Myth: Should Women Flirt Their Way to the Top? Damn Straight, Says Forbes.

Equality Myth: Should Women Flirt Their Way to the Top? Damn Straight, Says Forbes.:

bbook:

newsweek:

Well this is sure to cause an uproar. In today’s ForbesWoman, author Jenna Goudreau posits that women who don’t flirt are ignoring “one of their greatest career assets”—a valuable strategic tool (if used effectively), she says, to climb up the corporate ladder.
…

We’ve tackled this issue before. But, um, without the photo gallery of “tips.”

Yes, excuse me whilst I go show some thigh and flash a winning smile to my bosses. Thanks for looking out for us Forbes but that ain’t going to fly with this broad.

What is this, the 1950s? I think the writer is watching a little too much Mad Men. Flirting on the job can send the wrong signals and potentially lead to uncomfortable situations. How about just doing great work?

Would the list for men include slapping their hunting game on the boss’s desk and beating their chest like Tarzan? Jesus Forbes, get it together. ;) <— see what I did there.
