TechScout: Live Video on the Web - A crazy world that needs to be watched
 If you are The Jonas Brothers, how do you keep in contact with your fan base in a fast, efficient way without the risk of losing your life? How about a live video web broadcast? The band came on Justin.tv soon after the site launched and they got over 80,000 views in an hour. The site crashed. When The Jonas Brothers came back six months later, they got a little over a million views in an hour and the site stayed up. So goes the popularity of live video.
Evan Solomon from Justin.tv talked to me about the popularity of live video and how it's changing the marketplace on the web.
You may remember a guy called Justin Kan. His idea was to broadcast his life by posting live videos about himself. The phenomena became known as life casting and it created a viral tidal wave in 2006. Since that time, streaming live video has taken on a bigger and - not surprisingly - more commercial role. »more

TechScout: Reclaiming the Cash - A way toward monetizing publishing content?
Many believe the demise of the newspaper business model began with the decision to give content away on the Internet. Why buy the paper, the magazine, the newsletter when you can get the same thing online for free? Increasingly, innovators are trying to reverse consumer expectation that content should be free and find fresh ways to create revenue through micro-payment, subscription and more. Is it possible to reclaim at least some of the cash? »more
TechScout: Vocalo.org - More than just a radio station
The advent of social media promised exposure to more people and diverse ideas. We'd learn from each other's differences and might even grow smarter in the process. But one could argue that social networks have had exactly the opposite effect. It appears that narrower and narrower groups of people talk to each other about similar topics and that the hope for rich dialogue and cross-pollination is more elusive than ever in the digital space. »more
