How To Optimize Video Content for Video Sharing Sites By Ray Rahmati
One of my close friends does PR work and here is a great article he wrote On Video Content
For those of us who spend countless hours a day in front of a computer screen, chances are, we’ve spent some portion of that day on video sharing sites such as YouTube, Blip.TV or AOL Video. According to the web analytics site, Compete.com, YouTube alone had over 76 million unique visitors to the site in May 2009 alone.
With millions of people watching hundreds of millions of videos per day and uploading hundreds of thousands of videos daily-ten hours of video is uploaded every minute according to YouTube-the task of guiding users to your video content, can be quite a challenge!
In June, I provided tips for “Implementing Video in Your PR Campaigns,” and discussed “Best Practices for Creating Video Content.” But once you have begun creating video content and posting to video sharing sites, how can you ensure that your videos will ever be viewed?

What is Twitter? A weekend Debate
This past weekend i was out with some friends and got into a bit of a debate. over the use of twitter and what good it is. This is not the 1st time i have this debate but i figured it would give me something write about. To start off it tends to start with the fact i have so many followers on my account and people don’t seem to grasp the point of twitter. I speak for my self on this but I enjoy being social and meeting folks… so for me twitter is a way to increase my social network and meet random folks. frankly everyone knows someone and you never know where it will lead you. So I am open arms to everyone…
I like to use it to get feedback on things as well as just learn about others becuase its a mix of all types of folks.
When people ask me but who gives a f**k what your doing or what you say…they don’t know you and you don’t know them. Well your right to a degree but then wouldn’t that mean we should all just never speak to anyone? I spend allot of time online I have made friends that i have never met. some in other countries some in the same city.
From a Biz side of things…twitter is a source of distribution called word of mouth! Some folks say I’m on there only to self promote..well yes that is part of it! I do online projects so if i can use twitter to get the word out why not! BUT if you are someone that follows me..you know I also have random conversations about day to day things.
Anyway…twitter can be different things depending how you use it and who you use it with! So dont hate..cuz you dont get it!

140mafia The Mob Comes to Twitter
140 Mafia is a new role playing game that has join the twitter network, Lolplaying is the maker of the new role-playing game determined to explore Twitter’s moneymaking potential with Super Rewards, a “virtual currency” service that already has been reaping revenue from various forms of online recreation. The model has already proven lucrative on Facebook and MySpace.
I Signed up for the game @o2smedia and it really is the same thing as mob wars but you login with your twitter account and you earn an extra 1% for allowing the game to post your game play into your twitter account. Its a great idea to get attention at this point with all eyes on twitter. I dont feel it will last as long as the facebook games since if could become a real annoyance to see billy robbed the bank or Completed a Drug smuggling

500,000 Twitter Followers
I’m determined to grow my twitter followers to an Insane #, simply becuase i believe distribution is key! For a Normal guy to just grow online and be able to stand out with big name celebirties is one hell of a challeneg so Im out to make it happen! It’s all about being creative…im only at 28k now….hmmmm so what that leave like 472,000 more to go?
So with 28,000 followers is just 10 followers on thier list follows me…I would have 280,000 followers thats insane! I’m fasinated by this concept!
or if 5 peopople did and 5 on their list that would be 700,000

FTC wants to Monitor Blogs for Payments and Freebies
The FTC wants to crack down on bloggers that receive incentives for writing product reviews or cash incentives. Big name bloggers have been know for receiving laptops or giftcards in exchange for a good review. he FTC feels that Internet users may not be aware that it would be a bias review and they feel bloggers should disclose this to the readers. I do see the concern the FTC may have with this BUT it would also be an issue if they start to assume what reviews are real and which are not. I don’t see this being any different then product placement in a movie or even articles written for print. I feel that at the end of the day if someone is looking for reviews they will compare different sources. Other wise I would have purchase from every infomercial I have ever seen!
