Over the last couple of months we have made some massive structural, navigation and layout changes to MeFeedia, and we hope *think* you’ll find them to be improvements.
The whole list is far too long to share in a post, but here are some of the highlights.
Watch TheWB content right here on MeFeedia. Today we officially added The WB as a Content Partner on MeFeedia.
Just wanted to thank all of the great users of Mefeedia – thanks to all of you, mefeedia.com is growing!! We have just hit 3 million unique visitors for the month of February (with 0 marketing / advertising budget, of course!). We hope you enjoy the new updates on the site – there is more coming down the pipeline, so stay tuned. Thanks again!!!
We (Lisa and myself) had the pleasure of attending The Winnies last night, where MC / Hosts Irina from Geek Entertainment TV and Gary from Wine Library TV (part of the wine channel) had videoblogggers give each other awards. It was quite a party, let’s just say that. Highlights are coming in (appropriately) via video. Check out the Winnies video tag stream.
Another vlogger is being purchased today and the stakes keep getting higher. Treehugger, whose TreehuggerTV has been a part of Mefeedia for 15 months now, has been acquired by Discovery Communications for reportedly $10 million. The acquisition means that Discovery will have a strong digital addition to their PlanetGreen network, which includes a TV network launching next year that will focus on eco-friendly living.
TreehuggerTV has been one of my favorite green vlogs. For more Green video, take a look at our Green Channel.
Congrats to the folks over at Treehugger – keep producing and distributing great content!
Video on the web cannot be understood as anything like what it has been used for in traditional media.
Unlike the photograph in which amateur photos and snapshots have always paralleled the professional and high profile photos of magazines and news journalism video has never been used by the masses as a means of communication in so widely a fashion as it is now on the internet.
UPDATE 2: Techcrunch, again, is confirming that Flickr is adding video soon. Maybe they actually are going to do it…
UPDATE: Yahoo again said today that they plan to add video to Flickr. Om Malik expressed concern as to whether this was a good idea or not. I agree.
Creative sponsorship models are starting to make sense for everyone.
Although big business is ready to cash in on the Web 2.0 video craze, both content creators and advertisers have made it clear that they are waiting for a new approach — one that reaches beyond the constraints of pre-roll or banner ads.
Only those new revenue models able to serve the needs of all interested parties: the audience, the videobloggers, the video hosting sites, and, of course, the advertisers, are likely to survive.
So we’re going to focus on a few of different brand new ad models that have just launched, or are launching this week.
This page will provide an index for posts on these creative sponsorship models.

We’ve noticed a lot of green programming coming out of the Sundance Channel lately, so I’ve put together some playlists for all of the different shows (see below for all of them), and we’ll be featuring them here on the blog all week.
