Over the years, as I’ve switched from programming sites directly to using CMS tools like Joomla and WordPress, I’ve experimented with integrating video. When I was programming sites myself, it was fairly easy, especially as online video platforms (like Limelight Video Platform, Brightcove, or Streamotor) provided tools to create interactive players that could pull from [...]
Visual: The Power of Pinterest
Originally posted 2012-03-14 11:27:26. The wonderful people at TechCrunch have posted a great infographic about Pinterest. Who’s using it? Why? How? Etc. Great insight (compiled from ComScore data and other sources). From In the Mind of Jason Thibeault, post Visual: The Power of Pinterest Tags: business, pinterest
You Are Doing More Than Just Telling a Story
Originally posted 2011-07-02 09:25:35. As a writer, you’ve heard the old adage, “show, don’t tell.” To be honest, I couldn’t tell you how many times I heard that as I was honing my craft. And, ironically, I parroted it back when I taught creative writing. Looking back now, my experience with that phrase is much [...]
One Platform to Rule Them All…
Originally posted 2011-07-12 23:27:21. All Things Digital has a great post on the Apple ecosystem: http://allthingsd.com/20110712/apple-television-a-100-billion-opportunity/ But there’s one thing missing, a platform that connects all of Apple’s devices together, all of your media, and the entire Apple entertainment experience. iTunes. Now don’t shoot me for saying, as you may be one of the many [...]
Hey Martians Need to Drink Too!
Originally posted 2011-08-04 13:55:32. Nasa believes that they have found evidence of flowing water on Mars during the warmer summer months. It has already been confirmed that Mars has frozen pockets of water but this is the first evidence that may point to actual flowing water. http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/MRO/news/mro20110804.html From In the Mind of Jason Thibeault, post [...]
Photo: How To Shoot Rainbows
Originally posted 2011-08-29 12:11:18. Everyone loves a rainbow (well, some people also love unicorns and glitter but we won’t cover that here) especially photographers. There is something magical about capturing the spontaneous beauty of a rainbow (and, in reality, the simplicity of its formation which is all based on elementary physics). MacWorld published a great [...]
My Data: What’s It Worth To You?
Originally posted 2011-08-18 08:30:43. Although there has been a back-lash about “personalization” software on websites and desktops, there is an obvious benefit to these technologies: you get advertisements that are more suited to your needs, tastes, and predilections. When I am looking at a website, I’d much rather see an add for Home Depot knowing [...]
Data Visualization is Poetry…Even if it is Self Flattering
Originally posted 2011-07-15 21:14:24. Although this is total marketing speak, presenting data and information graphically has so much more impact that just stale old bullet points or slideware. Thanks VMWare. From In the Mind of Jason Thibeault, post Data Visualization is Poetry…Even if it is Self Flattering Tags: cloud, data visualization
Amazon Hardware vs. Amazon Retail
Originally posted 2011-07-13 15:47:37. With the Kindle, Amazon broke into the hardware game. Traditionally a retailer (both electronic and physical), they have seen a tremendous uptake in e-book purchasing because of their device. And now, it seems, they are going to build a tablet to compete against the iPad. http://thenextweb.com/gadgets/2011/07/13/amazon-to-release-a-tablet-by-october/ Some people might think this [...]
