Paul Colligan – The People And Business Of New And Social Media

My 2009 New Media Predictions

Monday, December 15 Paul Colligan

First, obviously, my scorecard on last year’s predictions. One major podcast network goes down in flames. None went down in flames but only one of them uses the word Podcasting in their marketing material and we even have one that although still afloat, proudly proclaims a copyright date of 2006. I’ll say it now, the…Read More »

Is Dr. Horrible So Horrible?

Tuesday, July 15 Paul Colligan

Bonus: I will buy a free iTunes copy of the Dr. Horrible series to the person who guesses the numbers I asked for in this previous post. I have to start this out by saying that I am a huge Joss Whedon (Firefly, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, etc.) fan. Who knows how much attention I…Read More »

Geoff Smith’s “Dynamic Album” Concept Is The FUTURE Of Content Delivery

Wednesday, July 2 Paul Colligan

Geoff Smith is the hardest working man in showbidness2.0. His new album, “Ones and 0s,” will be in all the usual places soon iTunes, CDBaby, etc. But you got an option right now / today that I want you to seriously consider – the DYNAMIC ALBUM of “Ones and 0s.” In short, through the magic…Read More »

Don’t Listen To Me, Listen To Vint Cert – Can You Handle His Truth?

Wednesday, June 25 Paul Colligan

A few months back I wrote that “You Can’t Handle The Truth” (about Podcasting). The general gist of the article was streaming isn’t our future, downloading content is. As sexy and as exciting at streaming is, dear friends, I still believe (scratch that, common sense dictates that) it “doesn’t scale.” Vint Cert, “Father of the…Read More »

A Premiumcast.com Update – And A Free Webinar

Thursday, May 1 Paul Colligan

I’m feeling pretty good about Premiumcast.com right now. We did a lot of good with it with the iYule.tv project (and wait till you see what we got planned Christmas 2008). One of my favorite Podcasters in the world moved over to it and is seeing not just revenue from his Podcast, but getting a…Read More »

Revver For Sale Helps Prove My Point

Wednesday, February 6 Paul Colligan

I’m thrilled that Revver sends my video podcasting friends cash. Heck, I’m due a $50 check from them one day soon. But, and I’ve said this before, third party random ad inserts on your new media is not anything to bank on. Get it while you can, but don’t build a business plan around it….Read More »

HULU DOA?

Friday, January 18 Paul Colligan

Updated 1/19/2008: As predicted, all but 3 episodes of Heroes remain at Hulu. Looks like those will be removed in the next 24 hours too. i was impressed with Hulu. Just last night my wife and I watched a few episodes of King of the Hill through it (laptop attached to our LCD television). But…Read More »

Podcasting Is Not Dead – It Is Also Not The Story Anymore

Thursday, January 10 Paul Colligan

You’ve seen me tracking numbers as of late. My presentation at CES had a bunch of them too. I posted late last night about Wizzard’s numbers. Again, put pinky to lips, one BILLION downloads. Couldn’t be more thrilled. Actually, I could be. I think we’re telling the wrong story. As a few million geeks fly…Read More »
