Back with the noise

Posted Nov.29, 2008 under random

So I was looking for “tiger attacks” on YouTube. I watched 20 videos and I did not see any tiger attack. I saw a lot of noise, a lot of pixelated video, a lot of talk and a lot of misnamed videos. But I did 20 page views and 20 video views. So I contributed to the success of YouTube, even if I left half an hour later, unsatisfied.

There is a lot of crappy content on YouTube. Just like Google. A lot of seo, a lot of stupid folk, a lot of noise. Little good or useful content. And then some people wonder why hulu.com makes 80 million dollars a year with little content, while YouTube has millions and billions of videos and views…

What we really need

Posted Nov.23, 2008 under random

Not another social bookmark, social site, web2.0 bullshit. We really need faster and better technology. On my list:

  • A laptop that is lighter and with a battery that lasts longer than 2 hours. my Dell dies after I turn wifi on. and sometimes I really want to blog live from conferences.
  • A cell phone that films better and has a good battery. my Nokia N82 has a 5 megapixel camera and gets pretty good video. but I want more.
  • A fixed Firefox. I am tired of the memory leaks that slows down the browser. I do not mind that it takes 1gb of my ram (I have 2.5), but I want it to work!
  • Faster internet. and here I include all those pixelated videos on YouTube, that I hate watching.

That is what we need.
