The Outside Lands music fest took over San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park this past weekend. Given the hassles with the crowds (and not enough exits), I think I’ll pass on it next year and just enjoy it online, especially now that I know how it works. IStreamPlanet, which produced the online video streaming of the concert, invited me to the show to take a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to coordinate the streaming of ...

Virginia Heffernan, the normally-astute media writer for the New York Times, wrote a bewildering piece that appeared in the paper’s magazine on Sunday. “Serial Killers” took web video series to task, albeit in a pretty confusing manner. My main issues with Heffernan’s story are classification, timeliness and overall point. She leads the story off using the John Edwards webisodes shot by Rielle Hunter as an example of a web series. Wait, huh? Edwards’ use of ...

Craig Brewer isn’t the first Hollywood name to jump into the web series game, but his pitch is one of the freshest. Brewer directed the indie hit Hustle & Flow, and his web series seems like it will capture some of the same sensibilities. The Hollywood Reporter writes that Brewer is creating $5 Cover as a web series for MTV Films. Set in Memphis Tenn., the series stars real-life local musicians basically playing versions of ...

Score one for dancing toddlers on YouTube. Yesterday a federal judge said copyright holders must consider fair use of their works before issuing takedown notices willy-nilly to online video sharing sites. The case being considered involves Universal Music’s takedown of a video featuring Pennsylvania woman’s child dancing to Prince’s “Let’s Go Crazy.” From the Threat Level blog: “Even if Universal is correct that fair use only excuses infringement, the fact remains that fair use is ...

It’s been a tale of two Olympics for NBC. On the one hand, it’s been a monster success, pulling in record numbers on both new and oldteevee (except in San Francisco). On the other hand, between tape delays and a crummy online video experience, it’s also been pretty abysmal. Perhaps smelling blood in the water, ESPN said it was interested carrying the 2014 and 2016 Olympics — and that it would run the games live, ...

We thank the online video gods for Hulu, if for no other reason than the ability to write a Nielsen web video measurement post without the headline “YouTube Still #1.” Sure, YouTube is still in first place in terms of video plays, with more than 5 billion video streams served to more than 77 million unique users in July. But Hulu is now No. 8 in Nielsen’s ranking of the top 10 video sites, generating ...

To some, a web site like Craigslist asking you to verify that you are indeed a human by retyping distorted, nonsensical words is irritating. But the next time you do it, you could be helping to fill in some historical blanks. NPR ran a story yesterday on Luis von Ahn, assistant professor of computer science at Carnegie Mellon University and one of the guys who helped develop the CAPTCHA technology.
