Zappo TV just lauched on Android phones, and its mobile application "scans" the house to find the Internet-connected TV so users can play videos or other content on the TV set without changing the settings on the TV, he said. Zappo TV lets users play music, videos, photos and other content via Android or Apple phones across a number of connected TV sets.

Nielsen has been working with its clients to effectively measure and provide ratings for content delivered via over-the-top technologies, said Brian Fuhrer, Senior VP Product Leadership at Nielsen, during an interview with Beet.TV at CES. Nielsen does that through its National People Meter, the panel that also tracks all TV ratings. Nielsen tracks consumption through an embedded audio code inside programming. That lets Nielsen track program viewing by People Meter panelists whether the programming is watched on computers, on TV sets, on gaming consoles or via other devices, he explained. Nielsen has also rolled out efforts to measure cross-platform viewing.In 2012, Fuhrer said he's expecting programming growth on gaming consoles and new over-the-top devices in particular. TV is still king though; one in three U.S. homes owns more than four TV sets, Nielsen found in a recent report. ]]> http://blip.tv/file/5877807 Business Wed, 18 Jan 2012 15:29:14 +0000 http://a.images.blip.tv/Plesstv-BrianFuhrerNielsen587.png ]]> Nielsen Tracking Over-the-Top Viewing 40.74241242338374 -73.99467945098877 3F68FC98-4121-11E1-AB62-C2B1A397AC12 http://blip.tv/beettv/blip-s-steve-woof-web-video-success-comes-from-targeting-narrow-niches-5891905 plesstv 10725 beettv beettv Beet.TV http://blip.tv/beettv http://a.images.blip.tv/user_photo_plesstv566-159.jpg 5891905 5874927 file TV-UN 0.0 2012-01-17T15:38:05Z English Business/Finanace,News 0 1 1 6 News & Politics 1 153 goRrgufPJQI http://blip.tv/play/goRrgufPJQI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post5891905&skin=rss Plesstv-steveWoolf545.png No license (All rights reserved)

YuMe has high hopes. "Because it's connected, we can tell who that consumer is and make the message relevant. Then everyone wins because everything on that screen is relevant," McLernon said.Forrester Research has predicted that ad spending on digital video will reach $5.4 billion by 2016, up from $2 billion last year.Daisy WhitneyDisclosure: YuMe sponsored Beet.TV's coverage of CES. ]]> http://blip.tv/file/5873803 Technology Tue, 17 Jan 2012 02:40:07 +0000 http://a.images.blip.tv/Plesstv-scotYume199.png ]]> YuMe-Samsung Deal to Deliver Targeted Ads on Smart TV's 40.74241242338374 -73.99467945098877 264C8E6E-4090-11E1-BD70-BFF93AF8C67F http://blip.tv/beettv/ijustine-expands-role-with-spiketv-5890320 plesstv 10725 beettv beettv Beet.TV http://blip.tv/beettv http://a.images.blip.tv/user_photo_plesstv566-159.jpg 5890320 5873338 file TV-G 0.0 2012-01-16T22:19:26Z English Business/Finanace,News 0 1 1 6 News & Politics 1 184 goRrgufCdAI http://blip.tv/play/goRrgufCdAI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post5890320&skin=rss Plesstv-JustineEzarikIJustine659.png No license (All rights reserved)
Web star iJustine is slated to host live convention coverage at Comic-Con and E3 for Spike TV on the heels of the work she just did at CES for the network, she told Beet.TV during an interview at CES. At CES, she fronted Spike's live coverage of the show along with Hollywood star Eliza Dushku. Ezarik has been hosting for Spike TV for about a year and also remains a tremendously popular online star.Achieving Web success is harder these days because the competition is greater and technology is cheaper, she said. "The hard part is breaking through and making something different that people want to watch and finding the audience and making them happy," she said. ]]> http://blip.tv/file/5873338 Movies and Television Mon, 16 Jan 2012 22:19:26 +0000 http://a.images.blip.tv/Plesstv-JustineEzarikIJustine659.png ]]> iJustine Expands Role with SpikeTV 40.74241242338374 -73.99467945098877 1F634E90-407B-11E1-8BB7-A13BEF956F7C http://blip.tv/beettv/fine-bros-win-iawtv-award-prep-for-launch-of-new-youtube-show-5890035 plesstv 10725 beettv beettv Beet.TV http://blip.tv/beettv http://a.images.blip.tv/user_photo_plesstv566-159.jpg 5890035 5873052 file TV-G 0.0 2012-01-16T19:48:55Z English Business/Finanace,News 0 1 1 6 News & Politics 1 184 goRrgufAVwI http://blip.tv/play/goRrgufAVwI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post5890035&skin=rss Plesstv-FineBrothersKidsReact575.png No license (All rights reserved)

Scripps Networks has seen a dramatic increase in video consumption as a result of syndicating its videos across many Web sites, the content company's Jeff Meyer, Senior VP and General Manager for Interactive Sales at Scripps, said during an interview with Beet.TV at CES. "The idea of a video destination site being popular enough isn't realistic. There is a huge category of consumers in the food category that might not be Food Network users, so they might find the Food Network video at a site they love to go to, but they don't go to Foodnetwork.com," he explained. However, if videos are easily accessible via search or via other sites on the Web, those are ways to expose more viewers to the content.Scripps has distributed its videos across many Web sites, including AOL-owned 5min, food sites and blogs in an effort to reach food-centric consumers where they spend their Internet time, he said. Scripps has said Web visitors spend more time and consume more pages on its sites across mobile, social and video platforms than on other food sites, according to comScore figures. ]]> http://blip.tv/file/5871364 Technology Mon, 16 Jan 2012 01:45:33 +0000 http://a.images.blip.tv/Plesstv-jeffMeyerScripps705.png ]]> Scripps, Food Network Focuses on Search, Syndication for Online Video Distro 40.74241242338374 -73.99467945098877 28B54096-3EF7-11E1-9BBC-9B1CB879B6B3 http://blip.tv/beettv/kevin-pollak-finds-big-audience-creative-freedom-with-live-web-program-5885856 plesstv 10725 beettv beettv Beet.TV http://blip.tv/beettv http://a.images.blip.tv/user_photo_plesstv566-159.jpg 5885856 5868871 file TV-G 0.0 2012-01-14T21:31:45Z English Business/Finanace,News 0 1 1 6 News & Politics 1 165 goRrguegBAI http://blip.tv/play/goRrguegBAI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post5885856&skin=rss Plesstv-kevinPollak359.png Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0

DBG counts about 2600 sites in its portfolio including 300 owned-and-operated sites. "We are focused on premium content," he said.

The WPP-backed ad platform is hoping to capture some of that money and is now available in the U.S., Canada, U.K., France and Korea and reaches more than 80% of the Internet audience in those areas on more than 4000 Web sites.Druschke also shared her insights on how the CES show is changing to focus more on consumers, content and the user experience. ]]> http://blip.tv/file/5866126 Business Fri, 13 Jan 2012 15:20:27 +0000 http://a.images.blip.tv/Plesstv-JillDruschke247270.png ]]> WPP's 24/7 Real Media Ad Platform Integrates Panache's Video Ad Formats 40.74241242338374 -73.99467945098877 B2DCF6DE-3D75-11E1-A3C9-862870773A2E http://blip.tv/beettv/alloy-digital-acquires-generates-see-double-digit-growth-5881765 plesstv 10725 beettv beettv Beet.TV http://blip.tv/beettv http://a.images.blip.tv/user_photo_plesstv566-159.jpg 5881765 5864777 file TV-G 0.0 2012-01-12T23:32:31Z English Business/Finanace,News 0 1 1 6 News & Politics 1 244 goRrgueACQI http://blip.tv/play/goRrgueACQI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post5881765&skin=rss Plesstv-christianBuschAlloyDigital242.png Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0

Online video ad technology firm Ooyala extended its reach into connected TVs via a deal with Panasonic to deliver broadband programming and ads to smart TVs. Consumers are starting to view video in new and different ways, including on connected TVs, said Ooyala CEO Jay Fulcher, during an interview at CES with Beet.TV. The Panasonic partnership kicks off with The Country Network, the first publisher to use Ooyala's so-called "universal syndication" tools to reach consumers not just on the Web and via mobile, but also now on smart TVs. Ooyala said more publishers will be using its tools to distribute content and ads across devices this quarter.This video was shot at the Ooyala/Miramax party at CES at the top of the Las Vegas Hilton. ]]> http://blip.tv/file/5864469 Technology Thu, 12 Jan 2012 20:38:55 +0000 http://a.images.blip.tv/Plesstv-tba971.png ]]> Ooyala's Panasonic Deal Expands Reach to Connected TVs 40.74241242338374 -73.99467945098877 C4E45206-3D5B-11E1-8CE0-A536EF9B0F23 http://blip.tv/beettv/akamai-supports-ultraviolet-formats-bolsters-its-content-distribution-network-5881430 plesstv 10725 beettv beettv Beet.TV http://blip.tv/beettv http://a.images.blip.tv/user_photo_plesstv566-159.jpg 5881430 5864442 file TV-G 0.0 2012-01-12T20:26:55Z English Business/Finanace,News 0 1 1 6 News & Politics 1 384 goRrgub9OgI http://blip.tv/play/goRrgub9OgI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post5881430&skin=rss Plesstv-krisAkamai295.png Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0
LAS VEGAS -- technology giant Akamai threw its weight behind Hollywood's UltraViolet video format, in a move that can help transition movies and TV shows from the physical world of DVDs to the digital one, said Kris Alexander, Chief Strategist for Connected Devices & Gaming at Akamai, during an interview with Beet.TV at CES. The UltraViolet format is designed to help protect movies and TV programming against digital piracy while allowing users to play DVD content via the cloud across various devices. Reportedly, more than 750,000 consumers have signed up for the UltraViolet program for access to digital versions of content they've bought on DVD. But the format has yet to take off in a major way, so support from companies such as Akamai may help."This is an important transitional step for consumers," Alexander said. He added that Akamai has added enhancements to security and content distribution over its network, which is vital as more video moves to the cloud. Akamai is also working on solutions to help port content to various smart TV platforms. Alexander added that Akamai is preparing to deliver Olympic programming across various devices this summer from London. ]]> http://blip.tv/file/5864442 Default Category Thu, 12 Jan 2012 20:26:55 +0000 http://a.images.blip.tv/Plesstv-krisAkamai295.png ]]> Akamai Supports Ultraviolet Formats, Bolsters its Content Distribution Network http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ 40.74241242338374 -73.99467945098877 BED36844-3D4B-11E1-B909-F567BFB8AB56 http://blip.tv/beettv/wpp-s-media-innovation-group-on-social-media-integration-and-creative-5881183 plesstv 10725 beettv beettv Beet.TV http://blip.tv/beettv http://a.images.blip.tv/user_photo_plesstv566-159.jpg 5881183 5864194 file TV-G 0.0 2012-01-12T18:32:13Z English Business/Finanace,News 0 1 1 6 News & Politics 1 143 goRrgub7QwI http://blip.tv/play/goRrgub7QwI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post5881183&skin=rss Plesstv-JonGreenwoodFollowingConsumers881.png No license (All rights reserved)
Brands that will be successful in social media are those that integrate naturally into social media conversations and digital mediums, said Jon Greenwood, president of WPP's Media Innovation Group, during an interview at CES. "The brands that work with the right agencies and figure out how to provide the right social messaging so the messages integrate more into the fields of knowledge, news and entertainment as opposed to what would be considered ads, that will be transitioning," he said. That's part of what MIG focuses on for its clients -- evaluating the best cross-platform strategies based on market information. Greenwood expects more of an emphasis from marketers on the creative messaging in the digital sphere. Marketers have invested energy on technology and tools to reach the right consumer; the logical next step is to align the creative. "We should be spending more time figuring out what is the exact right message for this consumer," he said. ]]> http://blip.tv/file/5864194 Business Thu, 12 Jan 2012 18:32:13 +0000 http://a.images.blip.tv/Plesstv-JonGreenwoodFollowingConsumers881.png ]]> WPP's Media Innovation Group on Social Media Integration and Creative 40.74241242338374 -73.99467945098877 977DD126-3D4B-11E1-8252-D3BCA01ADD7A http://blip.tv/beettv/cisco-advances-cloud-based-videoscape-service-with-global-broadcasters-5881173 plesstv 10725 beettv beettv Beet.TV http://blip.tv/beettv http://a.images.blip.tv/user_photo_plesstv566-159.jpg 5881173 5864184 file TV-G 0.0 2012-01-12T18:31:07Z English Business/Finanace,News 0 1 1 6 News & Politics 1 365 goRrgub7OQI http://blip.tv/play/goRrgub7OQI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post5881173&skin=rss Plesstv-scottPuopolo901.png Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0

LAS VEGAS --Consumer electronics TV set maker LG is offering new apps and tools for app developers for smart TVs in the year ahead. At the CES show, we talked to Matt Durgin, Director Smart TV Content, LG Electronics USA about how the new generation of connected TVs are accommodating both apps and ads. Late last year, LG struck a deal with online video network YuMe to bring online video ads to connected TVs, including the app-centric home screen. The benefit of delivering ads to that environment is they can be interactive and also highly targeted via user behavior or geography, Durgin said. "Now you can see more relevant ads," he said. As LG marches forwards in connected TVs, the manufacturer has added more support for developers using both HTML and Flash and will also include more support for testing apps, he said. Also at CES, LG shared more details on its smart TV with Google TV. ]]> http://blip.tv/file/5864069 Technology Thu, 12 Jan 2012 17:51:11 +0000 http://a.images.blip.tv/Plesstv-MattDurginAdsApps309.png ]]> LG Delivering Targeted on Smart TV's, Boosts Developer Support 40.74241242338374 -73.99467945098877 97E9B33C-3D3C-11E1-BB3E-A3D2366786BB http://blip.tv/beettv/lg-inks-deal-with-verizon-on-smart-tvs-pushes-3d-on-its-smart-tvs-5880894 plesstv 10725 beettv beettv Beet.TV http://blip.tv/beettv http://a.images.blip.tv/user_photo_plesstv566-159.jpg 5880894 5863904 file TV-G 0.0 2012-01-12T16:43:45Z English Business/Finanace,News 0 1 1 6 News & Politics 1 193 goRrgub5IgI http://blip.tv/play/goRrgub5IgI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post5880894&skin=rss Plesstv-MattDurgin3DFutureOfTV175.png No license (All rights reserved)
Smart TVs got a big boost at CES when Verizon announced it would be providing a FIOS TV app for LG Smart TVs, effectively providing a TV Everywhere-type of entry point into the service provider via LG's connected sets. We caught up at CES with Matt Durgin, Director Smart TV Content, LG Electronics USA. In addition to Smart TVs, Durgin shared details on the work LG is doing in 3D TVs because 3D capability is built into many smart sets, he said. "Each year over year there is more 3D content available, and more 3D TV sets in the market," he said. LG Smart TVs also let users stream 3D programming. He expects a large growth curve in the consumption of 3D content over the next 12 months. ]]> http://blip.tv/file/5863904 Technology Thu, 12 Jan 2012 16:43:45 +0000 http://a.images.blip.tv/Plesstv-MattDurgin3DFutureOfTV175.png ]]> LG Inks Deal with Verizon on Smart TVs; Pushes 3D on its Smart TVs 40.74241242338374 -73.99467945098877 B2BF04E6-3CA6-11E1-B094-B1D4A3BA1804 http://blip.tv/beettv/lg-launches-google-tv-integration-5879341 plesstv 10725 beettv beettv Beet.TV http://blip.tv/beettv http://a.images.blip.tv/user_photo_plesstv566-159.jpg 5879341 5862351 file TV-G 0.0 2012-01-11T22:50:45Z English Business/Finanace,News 0 1 1 6 News & Politics 1 131 goRrgubtEQI http://blip.tv/play/goRrgubtEQI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post5879341&skin=rss Plesstv-MattDurginGoogleTVLG823.png No license (All rights reserved)

As a means to create a more equitable financial marketplace between news producers and content aggregators, Westin heads NewsRight, a news content licensing technology platform which launched on Thursday. He calls the company's goal the "transformation of the digital space."

After a robust 2011, online video should enjoy another year of rapid growth. eMarketer has said online video ad spend should rise 40% this year. Marketers say they'll move money from TV budgets and non-video display budgets, but they're also expecting organic growth, according to a Break Media report. Look for pre-roll formats and mobile video formats to drive the business.

About 80 million connected TVs should ship this year, up from 60 million last year, and tech giant Adobe Systems is aiming to play a role in capturing both browser-based and app-centric alternative viewing. We spoke to Adobe's Jens Loefler, a technical evangelist for the company, and CNET's senior writer Maggie Reardon interviewed him for Beet.TV. "From an evolution perspective it's hard to tell what the direction is. It seems to be going towards the application model but things could change quickly," he said. "We see a drive towards applications from a user experience perspective."The application model can also give programmers more control of the look and feel of their content on connected TVs.Even so, Loefler added that browser-based models for content on connected TVs are still playing out in the marketplace and Adobe is aiming to support them. Adobe has also been ramping up its TV Everywhere services and signed new content providers this fall to power authentication models for them.This segment was taped at a two-hour session at the Manhattan offices of Livestream.Daisy Whitney ]]> http://blip.tv/file/5841577 Technology jans loefler adobe tv everywhere connected tvs authentication Sun, 01 Jan 2012 21:36:55 +0000 jans loefler, adobe tv everywhere, connected tvs, authentication http://a.images.blip.tv/Plesstv-JensLoeflerTVEverywhere272.png jans loefler, adobe tv everywhere, connected tvs, authentication ]]> Adobe Targets Big Connected TV Market Slated to Reach 80 Million Units in 2012 40.74241242338374 -73.99467945098877 34FCD7F4-34BD-11E1-8CD9-D2A59206F919 http://blip.tv/beettv/adobe-expands-into-high-end-gaming-broadens-tv-everywhere-push-5858572 plesstv 10725 beettv beettv Beet.TV http://blip.tv/beettv http://a.images.blip.tv/user_photo_plesstv566-159.jpg 5858572 5841561 file TV-G 0.0 2012-01-01T21:11:44Z English Business/Finanace,News 0 1 1 6 News & Politics 1 269 goRrguXKcAI http://blip.tv/play/goRrguXKcAI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post5858572&skin=rss Plesstv-JensLoefflerLivestreamAuthentication301.png No license (All rights reserved)
As it expands into TV Everywhere rollouts with its authentication tools, Adobe is also reaching into the gaming space with tools to power high-end console games. We spoke to Adobe's Jens Loeffler, a technical evangelist for the company about Adobe's work in authentication and gaming, with CNET's senior writer Maggie Reardon interviewing him for Beet.TV. Adobe Pass, the company's authentication offering, is managing TV Everywhere services for CNN, Fox, Hulu, Scripps and others. That includes CNN's iPad app for live streaming; Adobe handles the authentication behind that service. Adobe is actively expanding into the alternative device market and is powering apps on connected TVs from Samsung, as well as Tivos and mobile devices, he said.Next up is the gaming area, Loeffler said. The company released new tools for 2D and 3D graphics this fall. "It's the evolution of hardware. TVs have computer-like capabilities and 3D capabilities and their chipsets are less expensive so there is a new field there for higher end games," he said.This segment was taped at a two-hour session at the Manhattan offices of Livestream.Daisy Whitney ]]> http://blip.tv/file/5841561 Technology Sun, 01 Jan 2012 21:11:44 +0000 http://a.images.blip.tv/Plesstv-JensLoefflerLivestreamAuthentication301.png ]]> Adobe Expands Into High-End Gaming, Broadens TV Everywhere Push 40.74241242338374 -73.99467945098877 27E897D6-34BA-11E1-8D38-F4F1F6A9A96F http://blip.tv/beettv/tv-industry-needs-more-tv-everywhere-licensing-deals-verizon-says-5858545 plesstv 10725 beettv beettv Beet.TV http://blip.tv/beettv http://a.images.blip.tv/user_photo_plesstv566-159.jpg 5858545 5841534 file TV-G 0.0 2012-01-01T20:49:53Z English Business/Finanace,News 0 1 1 6 News & Politics 1 251 goRrguXKVQI http://blip.tv/play/goRrguXKVQI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post5858545&skin=rss Plesstv-TriciaLynchLivestreamTVEverywhere292.png No license (All rights reserved)
The TV business has a ways to go when it comes to TV Everywhere, said Tricia Lynch, Director Content Strategy & Acquisition at Verizon, with CNET's senior writer Maggie Reardon interviewing her for Beet.TV. In Verizon's case, it currently offers programming from HBO, Turner, Viacom, ABC-Disney and others as part of its TV Everywhere service and wants to add more, Lynch said.She said Verizon is actively working with content providers to add more programming. "It's a licensing arrangement we have with our programming partners and they have traditionally put parameters on what that license entails and we are actively pushing them to expand what that means. Some programmers are more inclined to do that and have the freedom to do that," she said. "The big picture goal is to deliver with your subscription to Fios TV programming wherever you are."But TV Everywhere, as a whole, gained traction with the news that Disney and Comcast had inked a 10-year carriage agreement that called for distribution across multiple platforms including TV Everywhere authenticated services.

As Comcast preps to sell wireless service on behalf of Verizon, that landmark deal is unlikely to affect Verizon's multichannel efforts to compete with Comcast in TV, said Tricia Lynch, Director Content Strategy & Acquisition at Verizon, with CNET's senior writer Maggie Reardon interviewing her for Beet.TV. To be sure, the Comcast-Verizon pact that calls for the companies to partner on the mobile front, ups the ante, but Lynch emphasized that Verizon Fios TV service remains an independent product that will be competitive. Verizon reaches 4 million homes with its multichannel service and the service is available to 18 million customers, Lynch said. "We still have 14 million customers to win for Fios and that's our focus," she said, adding that her goal is to ensure those customers won't opt for over-the-top services instead of Fios.This segment was taped at a two-hour session at the Manhattan offices of Livestream.Daisy Whitney ]]> http://blip.tv/file/5841518 Business Sun, 01 Jan 2012 20:35:30 +0000 http://a.images.blip.tv/Plesstv-TriciaLynchLivestreamVerizonComcast474.png ]]> Verizon-Comcast Mobile Deal Won't Impact Fios TV Service Competition 40.74241242338374 -73.99467945098877 8D4A8610-2E58-11E1-9509-D66B8C8DBAA9 http://blip.tv/beettv/nbc-news-launches-super-politics-portal-on-msnbc-com-5845538 plesstv 10725 beettv beettv Beet.TV http://blip.tv/beettv http://a.images.blip.tv/user_photo_plesstv566-159.jpg 5845538 5828518 file TV-UN 0.0 2011-12-24T17:56:06Z English Business/Finanace,News 0 1 1 6 News & Politics 1 436 goRrguTlBgI http://blip.tv/play/goRrguTlBgI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post5845538&skin=rss Plesstv-23788825.png No license (All rights reserved)
Gearing up for increased demands for political news in 2012, NBC News has launched a portal for all the network's shows (on both NBC and MSNBC), news reports and for Web-only programming, explains Vivian Schiller, Chief Digital Officer of NBC News, in this interview with Beet.TVThe interview was conducted Wednesday, on the sixth floor of NBC News headquarters, where the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree twinkled in the background.Schiller says that the viewer demand for video news and interest in advertisers is "insatiable." NBC News, with so much content already being created for television, is well situated to grow its online franchise.MSNBC.com, which is jointly owned by NBC Universal and Microsoft, has the most video news views of any site, according to October's comScore.Schiller also discusses new original content initiatives including NBC Latino and the Grio.Schiller joined NBC News in July after having serviced as CEO of NPR and General Manager of the NYTImes.com.

TV and tweeting go hand in hand. Nearly half of smartphone or tablet owners 18 to 24 are frequently discussing TV shows on social networks while watching TV, according to Futurescape. That's why agencies like Digitas are devoting more resources to exploring how brands can participate in social TV and connected TVs, said Ashley Swartz, SVP/Leader iTV Practice at Digitas, during a recent interview with Beet.TV.About 40% of tweets during prime-time hours are about television, underscoring the tremendous opportunities for brands and TV shows to connect with those engaged viewers, she said. "The biggest challenge for brands is to create a value exchange with the consumer that makes the experience richer but also provides...scale and reach," she said. The plethora of devices and platforms from Boxee to Samsung- and LG-connected TVs can make it challenging for advertisers to determine how to begin a connected TV social-centric campaign. But most of those applications do tap into the social graph and are thus primed to take advantage of the connection between social media and TV.Research firm Informa has said that connected TV sales were slated to surpass 52 million units in 2011.This segment was taped at a two-hour session at the Manhattan offices of Livestream. ]]> http://blip.tv/file/5822258 Technology Wed, 21 Dec 2011 18:29:21 +0000 http://a.images.blip.tv/Plesstv-AshleySwartzOverview492.png ]]> Tweeting During Prime-Time Rises; Brands Try to Tap Into Social TV Audiences 40.74241242338374 -73.99467945098877 4EADCE6C-2BFB-11E1-B030-8535B82350E1 http://blip.tv/beettv/digitas-ashley-swartz-cord-cutting-connected-tv-s-loom-large-at-ces-5839182 plesstv 10725 beettv beettv Beet.TV http://blip.tv/beettv http://a.images.blip.tv/user_photo_plesstv566-159.jpg 5839182 5822158 file TV-G 0.0 2011-12-21T17:43:35Z English Business/Finanace,News 0 1 1 6 News & Politics 1 229 goRrguSzMgI http://blip.tv/play/goRrguSzMgI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post5839182&skin=rss Plesstv-AshleySwartzCordCuttingCES843.png No license (All rights reserved)
While industry titan Microsoft's swan song at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas has grabbed headlines, the annual convention should still be a strong showcase for convergence and connected TVs. Indeed, given the spreading use of tablets and the increasing ease of cutting the cord, convergence is finally upon consumers and advertisers, said Ashley Swartz, SVP/Leader iTV Practice at Digitas, during a recent interview with Beet.TV. She cut the cord herself in June and now relies on an HDMI connection with a Roku, Boxee, XBox, Logitech Google TV and an Apple TV to pipe programming into the home, as well as a tablet and laptop. But rather than adding to confusion, that device proliferation can help spread convergence in earnest in 2012, she predicted. "The experience of creating the living room you want has gotten easier and device proliferation is less of a challenge," she said. "The idea of an entirely connected household where brands can find an opportunity to contextually present themselves is changing and technology is driving that."SNL Kagan has said that 10% of consumers will have cut the cord by 2015, up from 4% at the end of 2011.

As part of its efforts to expand the reach of original Web shows, at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas the International Academy of Web Television will offer two days of conference programming devoted to the business models behind original production for the Web, said Paul Kontonis, Chairman of IAWTV, during a recent interview with Beet.TV. The conference track is part of a deeper push IAWTV is making at the CES show, along with its awards gala for the IAWTV awards. The track will dig into how to invest in Web video, how to grow an audience online, and how brands and producers can work together. Brands are upping their buys in Web video, and creators are increasingly looking to finance Web production through a mix of ad dollars and licensing, Kontonis said. He explained that some of the biggest Web platforms are starting to be paid carriage fees, similar to cable operators. On the ad side, brands are buying ads in Web shows in a variety of ways, from traditional media buys based on audience size to co-creation of content."We are starting to understand sustainable business models for original content for the Web really needs to be a mix of licensing and ad-supported models," he said.

Internet services giant Akamai closed out 2011 with the purchase of mobile network acceleration software maker Cotendo in a deal that analysts say gives the company a greater berth in cloud computing. We caught up with Akamai's Industry Marketing Manager Andrew Grant in New York about the company's efforts on behalf of media clients. CNET's Maggie Reardon, senior writer, interviewed him for Beet.TV. He spoke about the work Akamai is doing in the security protection area. Akamai looks at security from the perspective of protecting the brand, the network and the consumer data and transactions, Grant said. Security needs have increased with the proliferation of TV Everywhere services that require additional layers of protection.But the core of Akamai's business is delivering huge amounts of traffic across the Web efficiently.

Ad agencies like to be able to optimize their own campaigns and that's why ad exchanges can be a better bet than ad networks, said Dave Marsey, Senior VP and Group Media Director at Digitas, during the Beet.TV online video leadership summit in New York last month. "With an ad exchange you can buy the attributes of your audience...it can outperform because you are being more particular about the audience and layering in impressions," he said during a discussion on ad networks and ad exchanges.

In one of its first partnerships with a brand marketer, technology startup NetShelter generated 52% more viewership for Samsung's Smart TV campaign on tech blogs using its tool, said NetShelter's CEO Peyman Nilforoush in an interview with Beet.TV. NetShelter technology platform operates like a blog ad network and stretches across 4500 independent bloggers reaching 150 million readers. Samsung helped conceive and develop the platform. NetShelter's tools are designed to serve up relevant blog content to viewers with viral sharing tools rather than traditional banner ads. The platform leverages content of influencers and tech bloggers and amplifies if on behalf of brands to influential audiences, Nilforoush explained."We take the most influential content, we run it through an algorithm, and we categorize it by tech purchase category...we then curate that into the [ad] unit and we run that unit across our network and amplify it into the social channels for the marketer," Nilforoush said. ]]> http://blip.tv/file/5784357 Technology Wed, 07 Dec 2011 17:41:47 +0000 http://a.images.blip.tv/Plesstv-PeymanNilforoush12_01_11557.png ]]> Blog Ad Network NetShelter Launches New Ad Unit for Samsung Smart TV 40.74241242338374 -73.99467945098877 DB249398-205D-11E1-9DDA-EECA7C2ADDDD http://blip.tv/beettv/wpp-s-24-7-real-media-acquires-panache-beet-tv-interviews-steve-robinson-5799011 plesstv 10725 beettv beettv Beet.TV http://blip.tv/beettv http://a.images.blip.tv/user_photo_plesstv566-159.jpg 5799011 5781965 file TV-G 0.0 2011-12-06T22:58:47Z English Business/Finanace,News 0 1 1 6 News & Politics 1 172 goRrguH5RwI http://blip.tv/play/goRrguH5RwI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post5799011&skin=rss Plesstv-SteveRobinsonPanache619.png No license (All rights reserved)

By 2015, more than half of households will have a tablet and that's why it's so vital to figure out advertising possibilities on these new devices, said Beth Doyle, Innovations Director at VivaKi, during the Beet.TV online video leadership summit in New York last month.She said VivaKi is studying this new venue to determine how to guide marketers into tablets.MSNBC.com is also striving to understand what consumers want on new devices by rolling out HTML5 apps, said Mark Marvel, Senior Director of Video Monetization at MNSBC.com, speaking on the same panel. Ad models so far include sponsorships, but that is likely to expand.Other advertisers and publishers that have done strong work in tablets so far include Pepsi, Dasani and The Daily, said Jill Griffin, SVP, Strategy & Innovation Director at MediaVest.

Engagement with interactive online video ads can be tremendously high if targeted to the right consumer, said panelists during the Beet.TV online video leadership summit in New York last month. As an example, Tremor Video has added interactivity in Spanish to a commercial for a top beverage maker and has seen average engagement of 80 seconds with the interactive portion of a 15-second pre-roll, said Jason Krebs, Chief Media Officer for Tremor during the panel. The entire engagement slate is in Spanish for an English language ad, so the engagement is clearly targeted for multilingual consumers, Krebs explained. Interactivity in online video ads often takes the form of clicking to learn more about different aspects of a brand. The creative carries a huge amount of weight in making this type of interactivity and engagement work, said Dave Marsey, Senior VP and Group Media Director at Digitas. In addition, interactivity can make a video buy work harder, so marketers are often willing to pay more for that lift, said James Kiernan, Senior VP and Managing Director, Zenith Optimedia in this segment.

Marketers aren't evaluating online video opportunities in a vacuum; they're considering how online video powers social and mobile activity, and vice versa, and they're looking closely at performance metrics. Those are among the key points discussed by Dave Marsey, SVP and Group Media Director at Digitas, during this fireside chat with Jason Krebs, Chief Media Officer of Tremor Video.During the Beet.TV online video leadership summit in New York last month, Krebs and Marsey delved into some of the key challenges in the online video ad economy such as engagement, measurement and moving money from other media. Marketers should consider the dayparts when they're evaluating engagement with online video to get a better sense of how consumers engage with video by itself and across social channels, based on the time of day, Marsey said.Engagement, of course, means different things for different marketers. For a CPG client, engagement might be measured in printing out a recipe after watching an online video about cooking. For a travel marketer, engagement might mean looking up hotels after viewing a video, Marsey said. Digitas conducts research into consumer targets for each brand it works with. Engagement metrics, then, should be optimized for each client's individual needs.We have published their 20-minute chat here.Daisy WhitneyDisclosure: This event was sponsored by Tremor Video and hosted by Digitas at their New York offices. ]]> http://blip.tv/file/5781607 Conferences and Other Events Tue, 06 Dec 2011 20:39:15 +0000 http://a.images.blip.tv/Plesstv-DigitasKrebsMarsey538.png ]]> Marketers Demand Tailored Online Video Engagement Metrics, Digitas' Dave Marsey 40.74241242338374 -73.99467945098877 A38B1B3C-203F-11E1-B91C-F4B1C6BEB7DB http://blip.tv/beettv/online-video-ad-views-rises-faster-than-video-views-in-q3-5798439 plesstv 10725 beettv beettv Beet.TV http://blip.tv/beettv http://a.images.blip.tv/user_photo_plesstv566-159.jpg 5798439 5781393 file TV-UN 0.0 2011-12-06T19:22:29Z English Business/Finanace,News 0 1 1 6 News & Politics 1 112 goRrguH1CwI http://blip.tv/play/goRrguH1CwI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post5798439&skin=rss Plesstv-OnlineVideoAdViewsRisesFasterThanVideoViewsInQ3664.png No license (All rights reserved)

More promising data on the ASQ's reception in the market came from Mark Marvel, Senior Director of Video Monetization at MSNBC.com, who also spoke during the panel.He said that MSNBC.com was the first ASQ-certified publisher and that the site's completion rates of about 85% have remained steady when using the new format, a promising sign that consumers are responding to the ad.

MONACO - News publishers who have traditionaly relied on display advertising, and who are seeking to make a significant business with online video, need to dramatically increase video views, says Adam Singolda, CEO of Taboola in this conference segment.While there are challenges to scaling original video content, views of existing inventory can by driven through the discovery and syndication, he says.Taboola, a video discovery engine which displays "related videos" on the pages of major publishers including Bloomberg, CNN and the New York Times, is now allowing publishers to syndicate their clips onto other news sites. Publishers make a small payment each time their clips are watched on other news sites.In this session, Jason Krebs, Chief Media Officer of Tremor Video, quips that the new sydication is a sort of "crack for addicts" -- a means for publishers to acquire qualified video views.Taboola is Integrated into Beet.TVEarlier this week, Taboola was integrated onto all the pages of Beet.TV. On our pages viewers will see six thumbnails, four of Beet.TV content and other clips from sources including The New York Times, Bloomberg, CNN and USA Today.In the first week, one in ten visitors clicked on a thumbnail to view a related post. This is a very big result and I am quite pleased.Andy Plesser ]]> http://blip.tv/file/5739768 Conferences and Other Events Tue, 22 Nov 2011 00:52:34 +0000 http://a.images.blip.tv/Plesstv-MonacoPanelSelect3SingoldaKrebs435.png ]]> Taboola is "Crack for Addicts" Quips Tremor's Jason Krebs - and Beet.TV is Hooked 40.74241242338374 -73.99467945098877 6940A0D4-14A3-11E1-BC30-D2A41B361C38 http://blip.tv/beettv/aol-world-s-largest-curated-web-video-library-serves-410-million-video-views-comscore-5756817 plesstv 10725 beettv beettv Beet.TV http://blip.tv/beettv http://a.images.blip.tv/user_photo_plesstv566-159.jpg 5756817 5739756 file TV-G 0.0 2011-11-22T00:46:27Z English Business/Finanace,News 0 1 1 6 News & Politics 1 232 goRrgt+vdQI http://blip.tv/play/goRrgt+vdQI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post5756817&skin=rss Plesstv-MonacoPanelSelect2Harnevo442.png No license (All rights reserved)
