From Lost Remote: Borrowing a bit from Twitter, YouTube has launched a new trends dashboard that lets you see what videos are trending right now — down to individual cities, user demographics and “most viewed” vs. “most shared.”

Here’s the OKC YouTube Trends Dashboard:

davemorris — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 22:20:23 +0000

A social news site based in Seattle called Intersect just debuted in beta today with an ambitious goal: to encourage people to share stories, mapped by time and place, to see where their paths might cross. The site is the brainchild of Peter Rinearson, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and former Microsoft VP.

New Apple TV features TV show rentals – Lost Remote

Lost Remote’s take:
“A groundbreaking device? Not really, but for $99 and seamless integration with all your Apple devices, not a bad addition to your living room. And for local stations, one more fragment in the fragmenting world of television.”

The ability to report and publish anywhere, anytime got a boost from a likely source today as Apple introduced the iPhone 4.

Lost Remote | Films may come to your home even sooner

Lost Remote | Films may come to your home even sooner.

“Time Warner Cable Inc. (has) made the first formal pitch to the Hollywood studios for what is known as “home theater on demand.” The cable company presented a variety of scenarios. But the main one, which has received early support from some studio executives, would allow consumers to watch a movie at home just 30 days after its theatrical release—far earlier than the usual four months—for roughly $20 to $30 a pop. That proposal is still being debated and talks are fluid. People close to the matter say that several studios could sign on to a version of it as soon as the fall, making the first movies available on such a system by the end of the year or early 2011.”

Lost Remote | TBD.com will be a continuous news site

This seems like a very good idea to me…

Lost Remote | TBD.com will be a continuous news site.

Broadcasting & Cable writes that TBD.com, the Allbritton local news site that will focus on Washington DC, is going to be a continuous news site. In short, that means publishing news in a blog-format, where the lead is whatever happened most recently. This is hard for traditional news sites to grasp – we’re used to the finished news product and deciding which story to tell the audience is the lead – but continuous news is how people consume information online. It also doesn’t hurt that the format plays very nicely with Google. I’ve seen what happens at stations that switch to this web-native format, and the results are astounding: instant jumps in pageviews and time spent on site, and by several multiples as well.

Lost Remote | 48 Hour Magazine to transform old media

I think this is interesting, more for the usage of technology and collaboration than the end result being in print.

Lost Remote | 48 Hour Magazine to transform old media.

How would you like to contribute to a magazine that aims to go from concept to completion in 48 hours? You would join a cadre of photographers, journalists, illustrators, and editors who want to combine the efficiencies of the web with the permanence of ink . In only twice the time it takes Jack Bauer to thwart a terrorist plot to kill the president, you would put your stamp on a publication that looks to prove that print can be nimble. It’s an experiment in using new tools to erase old media’s limits.

Future of publishing

Rolling wifi for news crews

davemorris — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 18:47:40 +0000

How cool would this be? NewsOK or any news outlet could have news vehicles with built in wifi. We could file video or go live from anywhere our car is. Here’s more from Lost Remote.com.

From Lost Remote, via NY Times:

“Automakers will also be pushing Internet access for the car. With Chrysler and General Motors already offering options that turn minivans and S.U.V.’s into rolling Wi-Fi hotspots, the technology is no longer a novelty. Ford will add its name to the roster by touting a new Sync wireless broadband modem. The modem will plug into the USB port of Sync-equipped cars to create a high-speed Internet connection that can be shared by passengers.”
