December 2007 Archives

In conjunction with its European launch, Google Street View will now be proactively blurring any images it captures that would reveal someones identity.  Objects like faces and license plates will be obscured in the European version without the captured people having to complain first.

What I find interesting about this is that Google is “thinking” of doing the same in the US.  To me it is ludicrous that Google would be putting photos of people’s identifying information on a public website without their consent in the first place.  It shows why government regulation is sometimes required, companies cannot be trusted to chose correctly between other peoples rights and their own costs.  Google was not necessarily being malicious in this, but parsing every image and blurring identifying information would be an expensive and time consuming job.  Some middle manager had the option to get his project in earlier and cheaper and if he was not breaking any regulations or laws, why compromise his bonus.

Thankfully the EU is a lot more protective of its citizens than the US is and have laws against publishing identifying information without permission.  I’ve talked about poor consumer protection in the US before.  This is an example of why governments are needed to regulate markets.

A lot troubles me about the advertising revenue base that props up large amounts of the Internet.  The lack of any solid information on the success or failure of these type of ads causes alarm bells for me.  When I try to find any serious research on the topic, it either doesn’t exist or is so drowned out by SEO search results that its impossible to find.

I was reading a post on the zephoria blog that asks the question about clickable ads in particular.  The research Zephoria has done indicates that the clickers are pretty much the same people that open direct mail and talk to telemarketers.  A rich vein of opportunity fro snake oil salesmen and 419ers, but not great news for those wanting to launch credible campaigns.

He links in the article to a study performed by AOL on the demographics of ‘ad clickers’ as evidence for this categorisation.  The lack of solid evidence he has though is not to detract from his efforts, but an indictment on the lack of information advertisers, sites and agregators are willing to give out.

This does not mean that advertising on the Internet is ineffective, but that click-through rates are untrustworthy if you are not after the overly-trusting demographic.  This makes it all the more important that a lot of thought goes into any campaign.  Podcasts seem to me to lead the way in this at the moment.  This is at least partly due to the newness of the media, and the slow adoption rate.  The real key though is in the true interaction required for the message to be delivered.

Podcasts and Internet video require active consumption to be seen.  The advertising there needs to be heard and registered by the listener, and it cannot be forced into their face in the same way a popup or banner ad can.  Advertisers are forced to think about the fit between the content of the podcast and their product and message, which delivers a better result for them if they do it right.  Some web sites and some web campaigns do this as well, but they are in the minority

I am not a fan of companies that have high valuations based on ad-based revenue, the questions that exist around the whole Internet advertising paradigm cause me to feel those valuations are tenuous at best.  Its time for the bandaid to be ripped off and the details of Internet advertising effectiveness to be known.  Then the industry can grow and improve in a more sustainable fashion.

Matt Cutts does not come straight out and hammer the PayPerPost bloggers and company model but the article applies to their business model and many other bottom feeders out their.

I think once you review his writeup you will understand why many of the paid posts are really nothing more but attempts to game the search engines of which Google is going to penalize those sites that play these games.

I think it is important though to remember that nothing is wrong with being offered merchandise to review or being asked to do a site review on topics that your are knowledgeable about.

My review policy requires full disclosure within the post if I have been given merchandise for the review and vendors know up front that they have no guarantee of a positive review of their product. We also actually use the product or service for a minimum of 3 days before we write the review as well.

The approach Google is taking her is one that some will not like but I think once you read the example you will come to the conclusion that some of the sites that are writing reviews have no credibility whatsoever. [mattcutts.com]

Full Show Notes Here

I have written my issues I had with the DMOZ a couple of years ago over an experience I had over their with a heavy handed power crazy EditAll as they called them.

What I see being discussed today is similar to some of the political and power mongering I saw on the DMOZ. I have long said that any site that has top level editors with too much power is a disaster waiting to happen.

People get egos the size of Texas and when someone invades their sand box if those egos are not kept in check all hell will break loose. I refuse to this date to contribute anything to sites like Wikipedia because their are always people with egos that cannot leave well enough alone. [The Register]

For nearly the past 9 months my Google Adsense earnings have been absolutely crap and in all honesty I don't know why. For a period of at least three years the site earned between $125.00 and $200.00 a month by having Google Adsense on the site.

For the past 9 months the earning level has been absolutely horrible, probably no more than $20.00 a month tops was being earned with the ads on the site.

Nothing really changed here traffic is at normal levels and growing yet the performance of those ads was criminal. So I have pulled them off completely and will be looking around for some better ways to populate the third column real estate.

One thing that both GoDaddy and Citrix have figured out is that the podcast creates engagement and people support the show by buying and using their products and services. The shocking thing is why have not more companies figured out what the folks at GoDaddy and Citrix have.

Regardless see you later Google Adsense you have earned some time in purgatory.

How do I love irony, let me count the ways.

The MPAA has a stated hard line stance against infringement of copyright. "pirates are thieves, plain and simple" and has vigorously prosecuted both direct infringers and producers of DRM breaking software.

In their website targetted at teaching kids about copyright (understandable by any kid with a law degree) they rigourously define the terms that apply to copyright, including this one about permission granted by a copyright holder.

The GPL gives permission for derivative works to be created as long as the GPL applies to the whole work. To enable the freedom of further derivatives, the GPL specifies that any software covered by that license must have source code available.

Ubuntu Linux is highly committed to open source and in their license explains clearly what is required of anyone creating applications or distributions based on Ubuntu, including the following line

Must allow these rights to be passed on along with the software. You should be able to have exactly the same rights to the software as we do.

The MPAA released a University Toolkit designed to help univerities detect copyright infringement on their networks, which included Ubuntu and Apache amongst other applications covered under the GPL. This toolkit included custom traffic monitoring software. The source code for this component was not included or otherwise available, no doubt to prevent easy subversion.

Given this violates the permissions for reuse specified in the license for Ubuntu, the technical director asked them to either include the source code or stop distributing the package. The MPAA essentially ignored the request until their ISP was served with a DMCA takedown notice.

Irony is indeed delicious.

Legal notice: My opening line is protected free speech as parody, which is probably irrelevant given that Elizabeth Browning died in 1861.

This post is primarily for Advertisers that have been asking questions about Podcast Advertising, but should make good reading for all.

Since June of 2005 when I brought GoDaddy into the Podcast Advertising space they have remained a very loyal advertiser across the entire podcasting space. The same can be said for GotoMeeting and GotoMyPC who have been on-board since about the same time.

It should be noted by those reading this, that these two vendors are fast approaching three years of continuous advertising in podcasting space, more on that in a moment.

While I realize nothing in life is forever, and those companies could change where they are putting their advertising dollars tomorrow. A question companies small and large need to ask themselves is this. What does GoDaddy, GotoMeeting, and GotoMyPC know about the Podcast Advertising space that they don’t, and what would cause these companies to remain heavily invested in the Podcast Advertising space for two plus years?

I am going to share a secret with you, and while I cannot share exact metrics due to client confidentiality here is the secret sauce so pay attention! “Over the Top Return on Investment”

So you say Todd well what is the proof that the ROI is that good? Well I’ll let you think about that for just a milli-second but consider that these two companies have been advertising non-stop for two years in the same shows large and small! How many vendors do you have a two year plus relationship with that is generating ROI that make your Monday morning marketing meetings a joy to report?  Better yet what media property have you sponsored for two straight years?

How often do you brief your boss that a class of advertising is out performing all others? Better yet do you have the bragging rights that your campaigns are beating the companies national average?

An important question you need to ask is this, what is the strategy that me and my team at RawVoice have employed that has kept 2 heavy hitters in the space invested and renewing advertising contracts each quarter? To get that answer, we will have to have a private conversation, my contact info is in the side bar of this website. I am available after 8am Hawaiian Standard Time.

While other Podcasting companies historically get a short term advertising deal here and there, almost none keep the advertisers as a long term client!  This is another question you will have to ask why? Which should make you ponder how RawVoice is keeping Vendors long term!

I am very proud that a small startup like RawVoice, which has been bootstrapped by a group of motivated entrepreneurs that know the podcasting space has been consistent month to month for over two years earning significant ROI for the vendors we work with.

Now I have a question for you and then some final comments. The question I want to ask those of you in the advertising space is this how come you are sitting on the sidelines, and not jumping on-board and doing Podcasting Advertising deals? I really want to know! Comments or Private Email is welcomed.

Some Take Away Talking Points for you to consider

• RawVoice does all the leg work and together we sign a single IO.
• We currently have XX Millions of deliverable inventory each month!
• We have shows that represent highly diverse and focused content.
• Podcasting is the ultimate Audience Engagement medium.
• Trust Level between Listener and Producer unparalleled.
• Easy to negotiate big or small buys.
• Rock solid validated media statistics “RawVoice Statistics”.
• Measurable ROI if you follow our Guidelines.
• Highly defined audiences you know exactly who is listening.

There are dozen more points I could put on this post, but the most important is this. “Podcast Audience engagement factor is worth it’s weight in gold if not abused by the media creator”.

An effective podcast advertising campaign can be put together in a couple of days with results that can be accurately measured. If you have been sitting on the fence as an advertiser I would encourage you to talk to me and my team and get a understanding of how we put deals together that will result in higher ROI, then you are getting today in other advertising mediums.

The price to play is affordable for most companies and if I can beat your National ROI maybe you to will have something to crow about on your Monday morning staff meetings. Let me put a RFP together for your company today. ceo@rawvoice.com

Todd made some comments in podcast #321 about audience rates stagnating for some major podcasts like TWiT. In yesterdays post he also discussed podcast advertising ROI being very good, which you would think would be driving more podcasters putting in effort to drive quality which would drive listener numbers. These two things don't seem to add up. While I have no stats, in my observations within my social groups (both geek and non-geek) I am seeing many more people who understand and listen to podcasts. If the audiences of major podcasts are stagnant in a growing and vibrant market, where are the listeners going?

When I first started listening to podcasts over 2 years ago, I used iTunes as my method to find them as most people did and still do. At that stage the most downloaded casts were mostly tech related and all were specifically produced podcasts. Shows like TWiT, GNC, Diggnation and the like were at the top and gained a lot of audience by being so (including me). Looking at the top 100 podcasts by download by Australian iTunes users shows a different story today. The number of podcasts in this list that are specifically produced podcasts is 29. The rest are made up of radio programs released in a podcast form after broadcast (29); Television programs released the same way, or commentary/synopsis podcasts by the producers of a TV show (40); One motion picture podcast and one print magazine. In the top 25 only 2 are web originated content.

This is obviously a chage in the dynamics of the space, with old media becoming a significant part of podcasting. I can already hear someone composing an email about experienced and techy podcast listeners not using iTunes as much. But iTunes at this time is where the new listeners are going to come from, and while the technical podcasts will have more listeners if non-iTunes stats are counted there are web originated podcasts out there for non technical listeners. iTunes could also be wrong but it would need to be an extreme margin of error to change the message. I also wondered whether it was a local phenomenon. To check I looked at the top 100 of the other English speaking iTunes locations (US, Canada, UK). On a cursory glance they tell the same story with a large ratio of old media. I could not categorise each podcast as easily as I could with the Australian version, but will update with the exact results when I have.

The second interesting thing was the large presence of public broadcasters in the mix with public broadcasters like PBS, BBC, CBC or ABC(Aus not US) having large amounts of podcasts in the top 100's. For Australia the public broadcasters made up 41 of the top 100 (mosly ABC and BBC) 20 radio and 19 tv (audio casts of tv programs) and 2 web. The difference between these casts and the commercial equivelants is that these were typically complete shows rebroadcast in this form, rather than commentary or highlights. Public broadcasters are obviously finding podcasting a great way to reach the audience they serve. For them each extra person they reach improves their use of the public money they receive.

For the commercial podcasters, there was also a difference between how they derived revenue from the podcast.
-For the television shows (21) 18 podcasts were promotional for the telivision show itself, either offering commentary, synopsis or highlights. 2 had advertisements as well as promoting the show. (1 unknown).
-For the commercial web originated content (27) 22 used the podcast as promotion to either get listeners to the site where they could gain advertising revenue (14), or to get a subscription to extra services or content (8). The other 5 had direct sponsorship. 2 were casts directly produced by a company to promote their product, both revolving around skate boarding. The other 3 had sponsorship from broad based web services like ask.com and audible.
-For the radio programs (9), all were highlights of popular local radio show and all had major sponsors on board. 5 were sponsored by banks, 2 by telco's and one by a brand of alcohol, all A-list advertisers with very large budgets.

There are some hypotheses that can be derived from this. The first is that passive consumption can drive active consumption. Audiences discover programs because they are pushed to them; Once discovered they then seek out greater interaction with that show. The second is that advertisers are more comfortable dealing with companies they know. Third, old media recognise that they need to embrace new forms and are using their existing audience reach as an advatage. Finally, the sucess seen by the public broadcasters show that podcasts are a very effective way to inform an audience, due in part to the active nature of the consumption and the ability to listen when and where it suits you.

Commercial radio obvously has its act together. It is repurposing its content, that is only ever broadcast once anyway, and using it to turn passive listeners into active ones. It also knows how to sell its value, and is putting out content from people with recognisable names (they do not podcast any music). There is also a localised aspect to the casts, with the major portion of the audience coming from the country of production. Advertising players like banks and telco's have specific geographies they serve, so this mix is attractive to them.

So some interesting information and some hypotheses. My questions to the podcasting community are, how do we test/prove them? and how can this information be used to make podcasting stronger?

I have replaced the ustream.tv feed on this post as the event is over. The Recorded video can be found here.

IBM has developed a light based processor interconnect that will allow processors to communicate between each other much faster, at lower heat than the current copper tracks used.  While light has been used as a communication method for a long time, the new converter is much smaller than anything previously produced.  The small size allows it to be used at board level for processor bus style applications.

While a copper atom passing an electron to another is one of the quickest chemical reactions possible, light is still about 100 times faster and produces much less heat.  While the processors themselves are getting ever closer to the limit of miniaturization possible using current technology, this could drive a new way to get systems smaller, by reducing the size of the interconnect components and paths.

This also eliminates a lot of the cross talk between tracks that limits the speed that copper tracks can sustain.  It will be a few years before this makes it out of the lab and into real systems, but this could change the landscape for supercomputers and compute clusters.

Since Infiniband seems to have bitten the dust, if this technology could be extended to link physically separate systems, it could help with the development of scalable clusters.

Report from the BBC.

I have made the announcement on when I will do the 24 hour Marathon show. Set your calendar it will be Dec 21st

Complete Show Notes Here

Report in from the DragonMount blog that a new author has been chosen to complete the Wheel of Time series.  When Robert Jordan died earlier this year he was midway through the 12th and last book of the Wheel of Time series which has been one of the better and more popular fantasy book series in recent times.

Thankfully Robert had left copious notes and recordings on the plot of the book and had discussed what he intended with his wife and editor.  The fact that this great series will reach its intended conclusion is great news for those of us that have loved the characters and story.  Given his families support and involvement in the process I am sure this is what Robert (real name James Rigney) would have wanted to happen.

In a case against an unrepresented defendant the RIAA has included a statement into the brief for summary judgment

Defendant admitted that he converted these sound recordings from their original format to the .mp3 format for his and his wife’s use. (Howell Dep. 107:24 to 110:2; 114:1 to 116:16). The .mp3 format is a "compressed format [that] allows for rapid transmission of digital audio files from one computer to another by electronic mail or any other file transfer protocol." Napster, 239 F.3d at 1011. Once Defendant converted Plaintiffs’ recording into the compressed .mp3 format and they are in his shared folder, they are no longer the authorized copies distributed by Plaintiffs.

While some of the argument relates to the defendant putting the mp3 files into his Kazaa shared folder, the wording clearly tries to get case precedent for two items

• That the the use of mp3 encoding implies that infringement is taking place
• That the copying of CD tracks into mp3 on your computer is an unauthorised use of copyrighted product.

I have said previously that the end game for the recording industry is to charge for every time you listen to a song, essentially making you subscribe to music rather than to own it.  The concept of fair use means nothing to them but lost revenue.

Copyright was not intended for this, it was meant to stop people playing your music and claiming it was your own.  We have already extended this to cover exploitation of the work and into what you can do with music that you have purchased.  And how this industry have managed to get so much influence on what so many governments legislate completely boggles my mind.

Commentary on /. and BoingBoing

On December 21^st at  6am Hawaiian Standard Time GMT -10, Todd Cochrane the host of the Geek News Central Podcast will start a live and Interactive event that will last 24 hours.

During the 24 hour Podcast Marathon, Todd will stream live from his Hawaii based Studio on Ustream.TV and will have interactive talk on TalkShoe.com.

The purpose of the event is to discuss Technology, Podcasting, Family, Life or whatever topic comes to mind. If you would like a dedicated slot on the 24hr live event send an email to geeknews@gmail.com indicating topic you would like to talk about and 3 time slots that you are available.

The purpose of the event is to bring awareness too podcasting, talk about technology, Family and life. He will also be raising money for the 2 for 1 One Laptop Per Child Program.

Through the month of November and December Geek News Central Audience members have contributed nearly $1200.00 towards the purchase of 3 OLPC laptop pairs. All monies raised will go towards the purchase of additional laptops which we will be raffled off at the end of the Marathon. To be eligible for the Raffle a Minimum of $10.00 donation can be made via Paypal.

While this is a first attempt at going 24 hours straight I hope that you will join me for the event.

As an extension of my research on podcast listeners I have also been reflecting lately on Internet video and TV.  While the delivery of content over the Internet has some key advantages, there are also advantages to TV that are hard to replicate online.  The difference is really in the style of interaction.  TV is essentially a passive medium.  You sit down, turn it on and watch what it gives you.  You have a choice of channels, and can time shift using video or “Tivo”, but what is available to you to watch is chosen by the channel.

By contrast Internet video is an active interaction.  While you can automate the delivery of new content, you must actively search out and find the content you want to view.  This gives two highly different styles of viewing, and gives a reason for both to exist.  The problem with TV is that you need to interact with a passive medium to get the content you want when you want it.  The problem with Internet Video is the effort that is required to find good content.

I can see a convergence between the two that could give TV a longer life though.  At the moment TV networks get their money from ads or subscription.  They use this money to buy the rights to broadcast particular shows.  Unfortunately they also form a barrier between a shows producers and their audience (except in house production of course) and shows are continually looking for ways to better interact with their audiences.  The daily shows new website is an example of this, and also the Battlestar Gallactica downloadable commentary podcasts.

I can see the possibility of a shift in the entire mix.  Producers will look more to directly deliver their content to consumers and also sell advertising placements directly to interested companies.  They still need to get their content discovered and TV could offer a way to do this.  TV then becomes an advertising medium for a show to be discovered by potential viewers.  The flow of money would shift with stations no longer paying for shows.  A shows production company would instead pay stations to get their show aired for passive consumption in the hope it would lead to active consumers.  It would be easy in the age of digital television to embed a subscription service, where a viewer can subscribe with the press of a button to a show they are watching that they would like to see more of.

The television stations would make some money from producers wanting to advertise their shows on the station, and supplement that with localised advertising.  This would fill the other gap with Internet delivered content where they are unable at this time to deliver ads that are specific to a limited geography.  If I watch TV I will see an ad for the local car yard, but how would they place an ad with an Internet delivered show that would be viewed all around the world?  If I owned a TV network I would be trying to set up a station, or a least a time slot to try this business model out.

These are the famous words of the customer support call that I just went through hell with “One Moment Sir” after 101 minutes on the phone they determined they may be having a issue with their tower, this is after I had done about a 100 steps to “prove” it was not my hardware after telling the guy that I had connectivity with the same machine through my cable provider.

Now I am waiting to see if it is indeed my tower and will have to wait 3–5 hours to see if I need to call back and go through tech support hell again. No customer should have to spend 101 minutes on the phone to finally find out that their may be a issue on their tower

I’m a Geek I cannot imagine a non-geek having to endure this, the amount of time I have wasted this morning with these folks is beyond ridiculous.

Makes me want to just order a second cable modem and tell them where to shove the Clearwire modem.

Andy McCaskey and I have been on the phone a couple of times this week getting everything set to go out to the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show. Email this week has been over the top in interview request, and after show invites to parties and dinners.

The 2007 show for those of you that have been reading the site was a huge success in that the video content created that featured well over 100 companies reached over 12 million viewers in the six months following the show.

The impact was so significant that companies featured have been calling this week trying to get us locked into seeing them again. But Andy and my approach to CES is different.

We actually walk the floors and look for the things we think are cool and innovative. A interview last year does not guarantee a interview this year as we want to find the hottest items that we think you will want in your homes.

Your participation last year helped drive our post wrap up shows to record levels and we want to break the 3 million view mark this year on the 4 daily wrap up shows and single blooper reel. As we get closer to  CES we will have detailed instructions on how you can support our efforts at getting the word out.

We bring the show to you in a perspective that few others do. If logistics work out we may even live stream from the floor this year and you can travel along with us for the 4 days and watch the action live.

More information as we get it hammered out. We are still looking to get invites to showstoppers so if you have a contact there that can help us out drop us or them a line.

I give away three cool products more info in the show notes. Congrats to the winners more prizes to give away through the end of the year!

Well, this is going to turn into a firestorm of unbelievable proportions. With T-Mobile blocking Twitter SMS, they have just turned a significant number of bloggers and Twitter users into their arch enemy. I predict within several days T-Mobile will have no choice but to reverse course on this.

I pay for unlimited Text Messages with T-Mobile and I bet that they are not happy that literally thousands of text messages are coming into my phone and the thousands of others using their service.

To block a service that I am paying for is criminal in my opinion. T-Mobile, I have been with you a long long time and I can guarantee that the $1700.00 plus I spend with you each year and the 4 mobile phones I have would be served just as well on Verizon or another carrier.

If you are a T-Mobile user and have a twitter account I would call and ask them why they are blocking the service and raise a big stink. Make the telephone call painful on them. If we tie up their customer service lines enough they will know they have a PR nightmare on their hands.

While Mahalo has an interesting approach, its use still does not show that its users view it different from other search options.  While the ‘top searches’ has a little more diversity than when I last looked, these searches are still almost totally focussed on zeitgeist.  A recent article on Slate magazine looking into the successful failure of Yahoo Answers highlights the space that Mahalo is ideally suited to target.

Yahoo Answers is successful in the number of users that ask questions, and the amount of people that contribute answers to the questions asked.  It falls down in delivering quality answers though.  While the Slate article goes into more detail, the lack of quality control or editorial oversight allows conflicting answers to remain without clarification or correction.  The service is obviously useful to users that cannot find the results they need using other search methods, but the unreliability of the results make Yahoo as a method of asking questionable.

There is a gap in the search market where the question is either complex or broad.  These type of searches are either hard to create usable terms for, or produce so many results that it is hard to sort.  This is the area where Mahalo can build competitive advantage.  By providing guided and/or edited search results they can give answers to common but complex questions, and give starting suggestions for the broader topics.

Perhaps the Mahalo team should concentrate on the Yahoo Answers homepage to get the topics they should concentrate on building pages for.  It may be that the Mahalo team is already aware of this, the most common topic on Yahoo Answers is on pregnancy (typically those that imply they are from inexperienced or young and concerned questioners) and the top guide in the Mahalo health section is teen pregnancy.  If this is the case the question becomes how to attract the questions that suit the sites advantage.  I do not think there is an easy answer to this.  By delivering quality results within focussed criteria they will over time attract the use that suits their advantage.  Other users will either find other sites, or with their linking to other search engines Mahalo will be ale to act as a meta site for these searches.

Last year at CES we knew we missed one of the hottest post show hours events. That event is simply known as ShowStoppers, and it looks like we will be getting confirmations to attend later in the week. Big thanks to all those that provided suggestions on getting registered.

This is a pretty big deal for Andy and I, so we look forward to bringing you some coverage of showstoppers while we are in Vegas.

I am getting a lot of request to be on the program and I am going to have to start double booking people. But it should be a good event and we will definitely have a lot to talk about.

I have availability on Saturday the 22nd from 6–11am EST which I am sure is going to fill up so if you want to be on the show drop me a email at geeknews@gmail.com

Here are some subjects we are going to cover

• Podcast Monetization
• Podcasting 101
• Podcast Marketing
• Podcast Statistics
• Discussions with Podcast Leader
• Will have a live recording of my Show
• Guest from Australia and the United Kingdom
• Top Technology Podcasters

Plus a great deal more. It’s 24 hours to pick my brain and I am sure we will have a lot of fun. I will have a time schedule up in a couple of days.

Big ramp up for the 24hr show lots of details of the event and I hope that you will join me live for the event. Particpate be heard and lets have a lot of fun.
