YouTubers at Pixelodeon 2007
I interviewed some folks from YouTube who attended the first ever Pixelodeon Video Blogging Festival, which had a session on YouTube. I asked them why they came and I found their answers to be quite interesting. A common perception exists that mostly women do personal, diary type of video blogging, but I certainly have met men who do this type as evidenced by this video. What's your perception? Also, I found it very interesting to talk to people about what it was like to watch videos with other YouTubers from far away. It is a different experience to watch a video by yourself, versus having a community experience. FYI Here's more footage of interviews I did at 777 in NYC www.youtube.com Here is the list of videos that were screened by Robert Boyle, the curator of the session.

Retrevo Demos Search Engine for Consumer Electronics at CES 2007
LAS VEGAS (PRWEB) January 9, 2007
Retrevo demonstrated the consumer electronics industry's first dedicated vertical search engine at CES 2007 in Las Vegas, Nevada today. Retrevo is the first dedicated search engine developed specifically for pre-purchase research, shopping and post-purchase support of consumer electronics. Retrevo helps consumers check community buzz, find pre-purchase information, monitor daily deals and get product documentation for technical support and troubleshooting in twelve consumer electronics categories, including cell phones, smartphones, cameras, camcorders, home audio and home video, portable audio and portable video, printers and wireless networking (WiFi).
"CES 2007 proves again that consumer electronics get more sophisticated every year, exceeding the expectations of even the most jaded gadget geek," said Vipin Jain, founder and CEO of Retrevo. "With so many new products touting an almost infinite array of features and functions, consumers need a single source of authoritative information to help them buy, use and fix their electronics."
Retrevo is a single source for all consumer electronics information, from the latest buzz and deals to hard-to-find product documentation. Retrevo uses proprietary algorithms to crawl, collect, analyze and classify all known information for consumer electronics products. As electronic products become more complex and interconnected to other devices, Retrevo's machine learning technology performs deep content analysis, classification and retrieval, so consumers get the right answers right away.
