By 2013 Youtube Could Be The Biggest TV/Video/Movie Station in the Western World

Youtube now supports a broadcast resolution much greater than High Definition,  called 4K, which apparently projects sharply onto a screen size of 25 feet.  Home theater courtesy of Youtube?  In a big way!   

Youtube is owned by Google.  With Google TV, launching this fall in the U.S., and a year later in Canada, I think Youtube can be the dominant global Video Distribution Station by 2013.  

For the Independent movie/TV/video producer/creator, this is a dream distribution solution.  Youtube allows the option to sell content.  So you can provide free webepisodes/trailers to promote the show you sell.  Youtube makes money from advertising around free content, and shares these ad revenues with content owners. You have to tell a story, for free, to sell a story.  I can see selling a movie as a 4K pay per view item, and/or as downloads, from Youtube!    

Read about 4K on Mashable  and CNET.   Watch sample 4K videos on Youtube, if your hardware can handle it.  I'm sure Sony and Google are banking on the idea that everyone will want to watch this much higher quality video and are developing the hardware solution.   So wait a little while longer before buying your next TV...

2010, Social Web Is Becoming Main Stream

2010 feels like an exciting year for Content Creators using Social Media. At the moment I'm building a website for a writer, who is self-publishing his book. Mashable just did a poll asking readers to define Social Media, under 140 characters. I submitted and was the 6th top answer: http://mashable.com/2010/06/11/top-20-mashable-reader-responses-to-what-is-social-media/

There's never been a been a better time to sell what you do best, and market yourself for free!

Those who learn how to make it work will win.

Stay tuned!
