mathewingram.com/work —
... According to the New York Times, the rumours about YouTube adding full-length movies are about to come true — sort of.

O NYTimes.com reportou hoje que a MGM (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios) deverá anunciar nesta segunda-feira uma parceria com o Google que levará programas de TV e filmes completos ao YouTube — apoiados por propagandas, é claro.

Sob o acordo, a MGM também trabalhará com o Google para controlar materiais que infringam seus direitos autorais, de ...
Finally, I can avoid watching Bulletproof Monk on YouTube too
VentureBeat —
YouTube is set to announce a deal with movie studio MGM that will allow for some of its content to be viewed on the extremely popular online video site, The New York Times reports. This deal, which had been previously rumored (though the studio involved wasn’t clear at the time), will bring feature films to YouTube — legally. That’s big news, but it’s not all great news.
While it always seemed likely that any studio would hold back newly released content from YouTube, even the older catalog selections of films is going to be very restricted. The NYT lists films like Bulletproof Monk and The Magnificent Seven as ...

... like “Legally Blonde.” These will be free to watch, with ads running alongside the video.
The initial lineup may not be all that compelling, but for YouTube, which is owned by Google, the relationship with MGM is a crucial step in an essential reinvention. YouTube had its debut in 2005 and quickly became famous for the democratic sharing of bite-size video clips. Users love the site — 81 million people visited in September alone, according to Nielsen.

Ad Supported Movies - Back To The Future
A VC —
When I was a kid we used to watch movies on TV and they'd have commercial breaks in them. That was when we'd run to the kitchen for a drink, head to the bathroom, or just chill out for a minute or two. I have fond memories of watching movies that way.
That's what we did this weekend in our home. We've got Hulu hooked up to our big screen TV two ways, via the browser on our mac mini and via boxee, also running on our mac mini (but you can also run Boxee on Apple TV).
On saturday afternoon my oldest daughter was scrolling through the films in Hulu and found a Gus Van Sant film called Finding Forrester. So we decided to watch it. There were four or five ...

Andy Beal's Marketing Pilgrim —
Ever go to a mall and see the "Pardon the dust" sign outside a store that is still open, yet undergoing renovations? Yeah, well that’s what’s happening with Marketing Pilgrim. We’re in the process of launching a re-design of the site and, while not a dramatic change, we are adding some new elements. While we work on these (behind the scenes) you’ll see some things removed from the site in the meantime.
We should have the new design launched by the end of this week!
In the meantime, Happy Monday!

... appearing next to the video as it plays. Some of the movies available will be classics, such as "The Magnificent Seven" and older television programming, such as "American Gladiators." There will also be clips of more modern and more popular films. But that won't be enough to put YouTube in even footing with Hulu, which is a joint venture between NBC and FOX. It is going to have to secure more television programming if it expects eyeballs to follow. To that end, according to the New York Times , Google is working on a deal with CBS. The deal will allow YouTube to post some ...

YouTube Pales Next to Hulu's Spiffy Multiplex
Bits —
There are deals for show and deals for business. So far, YouTube’s arrangements to host professional video content are more for show, to signal it intends to be serious in that market eventually. On Monday, the Google-owned video site began touting its arrangement to let users watch some full length movies and old TV shows from MGM. But after a year, Hulu.com, the joint venture between NBC and Fox, has become the most prominent site for mainstream TV shows and, increasingly, movies. Jim Packer, MGM’s co-president, told The Times: “We will have some long-form videos up on YouTube, but I don’t think that’s the platform to have 30 or 40 movies up at once. I feel much more comfortable doing that on ...

YouTube Shares Revenue From Downloaded Videos
Bits —
As YouTube has struggled to cash in on its immense audience, Google has slowly been transforming the site, in part by bringing more professional content to it. Now, it is planning to allow some of its content partners to sell their videos. YouTube said Thursday that it would allow users to download clips onto their computers and allow media partners to charge for those downloads. Revenue is split with YouTube. Like many of Google’s and YouTube’s new initiatives, the download program is beginning as a test that involves only a handful of partners. They include universities like Stanford, Duke, University of California-Los Angeles and University of California-Berkeley, which are making ...
