Here's The Latest, From ReelSEO Video Marketing:
 It was another huge week for online video news, with final bids for Hulu being turned in on Friday. I’m pretty surprised we haven’t seen any leaks on those bids as of yet, but it is the weekend. Expect there to be news on the sale ...
 Ahh…we often hear a company say things like, “What? New content? We’re not concerned with that…” shortly before they crumble to pieces. Well, alright, we might not hear exactly that, but something along those lines. For game consoles, a lack of new content is death. For ...
 Early in the year I had an article series (2011 Video Advertising Trends Part I and Part II) with some big names online video ads looking to the future. Tod Sacerdoti (sup Tod) from Brightroll said it would be mobile, Iggy Fanlo of AdBrite believed real-time ...
 YouTube knows that music is a huge part of its success–and therefore a huge part of any future success the platform hopes to have. In just the last few months, they’ve hired both Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber to help promote Google Chrome, and just this ...
 Cable and satellite up in the Great White North were unhappy with Netflix’s crossing the border. That silly imaginary line that dictates what nationality you are, what language you speak and most importantly, what kind of streaming video and TV you can get. Now, a new ...
 Today’s kind of a big day. Lots of things happening. The online video world is waiting to see if there will be any word on the possible sale of Hulu, as final bids are reportedly due today. Along the east coast of the U.S., a hurricane ...
 Some reports say cord-cutting is a myth. Having recently moved into a place and assessed my options, I would agree, because the pay TV companies are keeping consumers hostage thanks to licenses with major sports leagues and premium channels like HBO. For example, the only way ...
 Google Plus +1 buttons have been popping up all over the web for the last several weeks–you might have noticed them here on ReelSEO. But up until today, the purpose and function of these buttons has been rather nebulous. What happens when you click +1? How ...
 Hulu is still for sale, and as of yet, has not been purchased by anyone. You might remember that those companies interested in acquiring Hulu were reportedly expected to turn their bids in on Wednesday of this week. However, according to the Hollywood reporter, those in ...
 Revenues at Brightcove have been on the rise from $24.5 million in 2008 to $43.7 million in 2010. Now, they’re ready to take the whole company public as they have filed for an IPO, though also posted a loss during the first half of the year ...
 As we’ve discussed throughout this series, social video campaigns are all about sharing. Clicks and impressions are great, but shares represent potential exponential growth, because the viewers themselves are spreading the brand’s message to their friends, fans, and relatives. But why do they share? What are ...
 The second episode of Morgan Spurlock’s documentary web series A Day in the Life takes a look at stand-up comedian Russell Peters. In the United States, Peters isn’t too well-known, but in his native Canada, the UK, and Australia, he has set box office records. He ...
 According to just-released June 2011 data from Google, Facebook is still the world’s most popular website, with 870 million unique visitors and a whopping 1 trillion pageviews per month.

 A powerful technique in the world of entertainment is what is known as the false document. It goes beyond “based on a true story” and invents a history to form a basis in reality. One of the earliest uses of this device was way back in ...
