What Are Social Networks Good For?

Over the years social networks have changed from the simple sites they used to be to the all inclusive sites they are today. Meeting friends is still the staple of a social network, but now there's so much more. Social networks are for everyone, not just the kids.

Poll: Do you use YouTube videos on your Web pages?

YouTube makes it easy to post videos on the Web and on Web pages. Plus, by using YouTube, you don't have to worry about bandwidth charges to your Web server. But there are drawbacks to YouTube. It can be difficult to share private videos and if you make your video public, you could end up with comments that are disagreeable as well. Then there are the rules that you have to agree to to use YouTube. Finally, with the latest ruling against Google, YouTube might not be as palatable for posting Web videos - especially with your privacy at risk.

Flickr Video

Now the popular photo sharing site allows you to upload video clips One feature that many folks have asked for from Flickr, the popular photos sharing site, is the ability to upload short video clips along with still images. Just about any digital camera produced today allows you to also take short video clips. Flickr now allows you to upload 90 second or less clips and share them on your Flickr photostream. The idea is that with a limit of 90 seconds it is just long enough to post a clip of your child's birthday song, or a students science experiment, but not too long. The limit is set to encourage the uploading of user generated content and not the republication of exisiting video content. As with your Flickr photos, visitors can comment and link to the video, just as they can with still images.

Updated: Getty Images To Resell Photos From Hand-Selected Flickr Users

imageIn a way, Flickr is kind of the unofficial stock photo service of new media, so this makes sense… the Yahoo-owned photo site now has a deal with stock photo giant Getty that will see some Flickr users have their photos resold through the company. Exact details of how it will work financially weren’t announced, but basically Getty will hand select certain Flickr users, inviting them to be part of a special collection at GettyImages.com. Those pictures will then be available for editorial or paid licensing opportunities. Flickr GM Kakul Srivastava told PDNOnline the licensing revenue would be split between Getty and the user, with Flickr getting none directly, but that the two companies also have a business relationship. Ultimately, it doesn’t sound like this will be a major revenue boost for the site, which gets most of its mone

Companies Realize They Can Profit From YouTube 'Piracy' - Just give them ad revenue and 'piracy' becomes 'promotion'

Techdirt points to a New York Times report on how companies that were previously trying to force YouTube content offline are now finding a way to profit from the clips. CBS, Universal Music, Lionsgate and Electronic Arts have all stopped pushing YouTube to pull videos of their content, instead working with Google to "claim" the content and profit from advertising revenue. One Lionsgate exec shows a significant amount of insight from an industry that has traditionally believed suing the hell out of fans (even for circumstantial use on YouTube) is part of a smart business model:

Reusable Syndicated Media Portlets: An Example of Simplified Content Presentation

In the early days of the World Wide Web, the battle cry of successful sites was "Content is king!" Web pages needed to be content heavy to gain rankings on the search engines and draw visitors, and the content needed to be updated regularly to bring those visitors back. As the technology evolved and business models changed, functionality and interactivity gained importance in capturing clicks. Portals provide the most manageable framework for organizing and presenting both functionality and content. But, "most manageable" isn't the same is "easily manageable" and content is still a key part of a successful portal. For portal developers and administrators, this means that the content for a portal will grow, both in source and type.

Content driven websites

There are lots of different types of websites out there - product sites, marketing brochure sites, educational sites, etc. But the ones that people keep coming back to are content driven websites. As Website-Content-Providers.com explains, content driven sites are websites that are filled with content about a specific theme. And the more content you have on that theme the more interesting your site will be to readers.

Anti-Piracy Organization Targets Porn Websites - Cracking down on online pirate booty

An anti-piracy organization called The PAK Group was formed last year for the purpose of gathering information about online copyright violations in order to pursue lawsuits for theft. The organization started out primarily pursuing illegal p2p sharing in a manner similar to RIAA. However they have now re-focused their efforts to target websites that have large amounts of copyrighted material on them. Specifically, they are looking to crack down on porn websites that are using copyrighted smut, sites like all of the “tubes” that you have modeled themselves after YouTube but which are all porn content. To crack down on these sites The PAK Group uses software to spider websites and find specific content that has been stolen; they are documenting the information in an organized plan to pursue litigation attacking the porn thieves.
