Pretty cool stuff... at 1 cent a pixel, looks like a great deal for the Youtube fans.
With google gobbling down Youtube, it is indeed the most sought after place on the web. But with so many videos being uploaded daily it is indeed very difficult to get someone to notice a particular video.
Itsyourstage (http://www.itsyourstage.com) gives everyone a wonderful platform to showcase their videos. Whats more, at 10 cents a pixel they have got a cracker of a deal.
Most importantly the site has been timed beautifully. With so much media attention on Youtube and google, anything thats got anything remotely to do with youtube is grabbing a lot of attention and eyeballs and mouse clicks .. and ....
As far as I see it, this is definitely going to be 10 cents well invested for a lotta people. For those of you who havent got there yet, go grab that pixel of yours before somebody else does.
Happened to read an article that may very well highlight why i think itsyourstage makes sense.

Too many passwords? Not in the Google world and "Writely" so!!!
You see an interesting app on the web and register yourself. Rest assured you will not need to remeber your login and password for long. For very soon you will have the option of logging in with you gmail account and password!!
Google is apparently all set to announce a new product google docs (http://docs.google.com) at the Office 2.0 conference tomorrow. This product will combine writely(which google acquired last march) and google spreadsheets, and offer an online document management solution to users.
This along with Google apps for domains, a a free package that combined Google's e-mail, calendar, IM and page creation software, which was announced earlier this week puts google well ahead of Microsoft in the online document management space.
It does for now look like bitts and pieces of software stuck up together. But i guess once people do get used to working and sharing their documents online, things will start falling in place for google.
So congrats, all you need is a gmail account!!! :)

Youtube goes down the Google!!!
$1.65 billion !!! Thats no small amount. As far as Youtube is concerned, way to go guys!!!
Now thats one hell of a deal these guys have struck.
Somebody please explain why google would build google videos, which i did not think was doing too badly on its own, and then spend such a huge sum and acquire YouTube!!!!!
There has got to be better logic than same business goals and sharing the same vision!!!
Considering the fact that this whole "videos" area is yet to be scrutinized especially around DRM et al, i just cant seem to put things together here.
Congratulations, Youtube!!!

Is the 'Hot'mail man heating things up again?
My cousin TP just happened to mention blogeverywhere.com Sabeer Bhatias new venture. It would be difficult to call the idea novel or something new. Im sure we have all come across it in one form or the other.
So i just thought i'll dig up a little more into what else he is up to these days..
And here's a few links i found after an initial probe...
Navin.com, India's largest provider of Voice Mail services
BlogEverywhere.com, allows you to read and write comments on any web page as you surf the net. Also has a Hotmail enhancer that allows email downloading for better performance and an Outlook-like preview function that allows an entire mail message to be viewed directly in the Inbox.
InstaColl.com, a contextual collaboration solution.
Hotseasons.com, a travel website that will focus on hotel ratings.
VoiFi.com, a project using VOIP
telixo.com, A project that turns your mobile phone into a personal organiser
Things do seem to be hotting up again for Mr Hotmail.. :)

IBNLive : Live Video Feeds!!!
IBNLive has a live video news feed thats comes in two options Low Res and High Res. If you are on a broadband the service is really good.
But what really takes the cake is that ibnlive is not charging you for this live video. Its absolutely free and is as good as watching the channel itself.
Not sure if this is intended to remain this way or its just an attempt to grab some eyeballs from sites like ndtv.com etc.
In fact while i was at it, just realised the number of sites offering video services.
I could name a few on the fly like google videos, youtube, videosift, Break. Im sure a search on google will get you plenty more. There are plenty of sites being built around these services. For example VideoDL is an excellent site that lets you download videos from google videos, youtube and break.
And the news is, that Amazon will be joining the fray soon with its unbox service. This would be a service based on windows media player and DRM, letting you purchase or rent videos from its site. The service will ofcourse need to compete with the likes of iTunes and indirectly with services like netflix and blockbuster.
