VLog: Moving and shaking at Rad on the Web

DateThursday, September 3, 2009 at 06:04AM

I have some new announcements regarding your favorite web show and mine, Rad on the Web, VLog style.

Takeaways:

1. Rad on the Web is now on Justin.TV - http://Justin.TV/RadontheWeb.
2. We are now livestreaming on Tuesdays at 3PM PST instead of Mondays.
3. The "polished" version of will be up on Wednesday early afternoon on Mevio.
4. The next two episodes of Rad on the Web will be pseudo-live [but still fresh new shows] as it's holiday and I'll be on vacation. Back in full effect on September 22.
5. The Justin.TV team rocks--special thanks to Danielle & Tia who set it all up quickly and were great moderators. Thanks to Justin and Evan as well!

Lastly, Carlos and I love you. I am glad that we are reaching more people now and was really happy to see some regulars in the live chat this past week. I hope you keep watching and continue giving us great suggestions!

Dear YouTube, I heart your video player

DateWednesday, November 26, 2008 at 03:13PM

A few days ago, a wonderful change took place on a website I frequent. YouTube took the leap to a widescreen player!
Dear YouTube, I heart your video format

For as long as I have been in production, I have been a huge video player geek. One of my MOs at CNET News.com was to get a better video player for the site, because I really felt it affects the viewer experience. You can have video gold, but in a horrid player, it will never get the chance it deserves.

I have seen other sites have great players, like Revision3, Mevio, Hulu, and CNET TV. I also love how everyone is allowing HD uploads, including one of my faves, Vimeo. Let's hope this upping of the bar at YouTube inspires every video provider to step it up. The only thing I am wondering is if embedding in widescreen is possible. I don't think you can yet, but would be a great added feature.

In any case, congratulations YouTube on your new super snazzy video player!
