I’ve now moderated two panels at Streaming Media, once last summer at SM East and once this past fall at SM West. Noteworthy on the LA panel was Marc Suster’s assertion that Google had spent closer to $250 million - and not the $100 million the media was reporting - on YouTube’s content initiative. I touched on that in my TechCrunch article “Can Content Producers Be Disruptors Or Is Content Only Meant To Be Disrupted?“ Anyway, in LA, after my I conducted an interview where we touched on many themes.

I sometimes joke that I wish the Ash of 2011 could go back in time and sit down the Ash of 2006 and tell him: “sure, content is king, but no one wants to pay for it and fewer even will want to fund it”. That being said, I don’t think that you can paint everyone in the content business with the same brush. CT and I chat about this in segment 1, which is based on an article I wrote for TechCrunch last week. continue reading...
Late posting this as I was traveling all of last week, but here is Show 14. In segment 1, we look at the most explosive startups of all time, based on an article I wrote initially in 2007. That list definitely needs updating, in the video below, CT and I review some who would remain on the updated list and those who probably won’t: continue reading...
Lucky show 13 is here: I find it hilarious how I’m decked out in a suit (had to be somewhere “fancy” later on in the day) while CT is dressed in a simple white hipster shirt. Anyway… continue reading...
