Inside MoveOn.org: it is a poster child for virtual companies. Its staff is entirely distributed. It holds no scheduled meetings. And when it decided to gather for a retreat, it did so virtually.

Online Video is not a crime: OK, creative types, time to crank up the volume and craft an HTML bumper sticker like the old skateboarding ones, saying this time: Online video is NOT a crime. Of course, you’d never know that by reading the headlines, where online video is under attack from the U.S. Attorney General (who apparently wants to make even thinking about online video a crime.)

Will Web Kill SportsCenter
Back in the day when ESPN launched Sports Center, it put an end to the value proposition of the sports page — wire-service box scores and game recaps. The highlights game was over, for both newspapers and the three-minute sports-guy recap at the end of the local nightly news.
A few decades later when most of the SportsCenter presenters are celebrities in their own right, there are signs the Internet may be replacing SportsCenter as the go-to guy for immediate highlights gratification. Right now, ESPN is at the height of its power, charging premium fees from cable operators for the right to carry the channel. But for how much longer?
4 bits from Web 2.0 Expo
There is nothing I can say about the Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco that hasn’t already been said before. And if you didn’t read it, then you perhaps watched it live. Here are some news snippets that you might be worth your time, and need further exploration.
- Mixercast is a new service allows you to remix your photos and videos and present them as a hybrid show - that is more than a pure slide show and less than a full blown video. Inspired by the photocasting concept popularized by Apple, it is a lush, rich and attractive service that allows you to mix-and-match photos and videos on your desktop with those on popular web services such as Flickr and YouTube. Trust me - they will make your photos and videos look like a million bucks. A full review when the Web 2.0 Expo madness ends.
- Tomorrow you will get to hear about Gaia Online, which is one of the fastest growing teen hangouts on the web. It is not for readers of this blog, but it has more stickiness than MySpace and is growing at a break neck speed. Its like Second Life, but with many millions of users who are living in this metaverse.
- Tellme is going to offer search via text, voice and data on your mobile phones, starting tomorrow.
- SoonR is now able to offer access to your Mac and PC via the browser on Nokia’s S60 version 3 devices starting tomorrow.
- For everything else, read Steve Rubel’s post.
The Really New NewTeeVee
Its been a little over three months since we launched NewTeeVee, our site devoted to the fast changing world of online video. Secretly, we aspired to be the Variety of this new medium, though we aren’t foolish enough to think that it was even possible for us become even a pale shadow of that great publication. Still, we think of it as worthy role model. Of course, we had no idea if the site was going to work or not.
In three months that have gone by, we have had tremendous feedback not only from our readers, but a whole new audience that includes the folks who are changing the world, or as has dubbed it - exploding the teevee.
With the little sapling taking root, we decided it was time for us to give it a facelift, enhance its look and feel to reflect more of the community Liz, Jackson, Paul and our stellar line up of writers have fostered. We entrusted Nicolo Volpato, the genius who designed my personal blog to play Doctor 90210.
Take a look, and see for yourself what a great job he has done. Folks from vod:pod built the awesome widget that you see on the top of the new site, thus making it easier for you to enjoy the top videos curated by NewTeeVee editors. We owe them our many thanks, as we do to you readers - the feedback you have sent us, has been great help in shaping the new look for NewTeeVee.
