Just in from our friends at Brightcove:
| Network Account Disabled |

Dear Iolo,
We are writing to notify you that we have turned off access to your free Brightcove Network account and your Brightcove 3 Basic trial account effective today.
The Brightcove Network has been discontinued as of December 17, 2008. As a convenience to Network publishers who may not have seen our prior communications about the Network discontinuation, we will continue to serve Brightcove Network players as presently configured until January 31, 2009, and then they will be turned off as well. If you wish to discontinue the use of players before that date, you may simply delete the players from your website. For more information on the discontinuation of the Brightcove Network, please read the FAQ on our site.
If you would like to continue to use Brightcove to publish video, you will need to upgrade to a Brightcove 3 account. You can get more information about pricing and purchase a Brightcove account by contacting our sales team.
Regards,
The Brightcove Team
P.S. The discontinuation of the free Brightcove Network does NOT affect Brightcove platform accounts that customers have paid to use.

The proposal to merge Channel 4 with BBC Worldwide would have brought a smile to my face had it been made on 1st April, but it seems that this is seriously being considered at OFCOM towers.
Two wrongs doesn’t make a right and it’s high time to decide if these are public service bodies or outright commercial organisations.

So, the Kangaroo has changed its spots and is now reportedly to become an open technical platform instead of a content service.
What this brings to the table that isn’t already done by a hundred existing services from YouTube to Veoh escapes me – apart from top notch seeding content.
The trouble now is rather than competing with video portals the service is competing with video platform providers, so it’s just shifting the anti-competitive onus. The real monopoly isn’t about content – its in market share for the video advertising market, and considering that Google has been allowed to own a majority of text, search and display online advertising markets, it’s unlikely that OFCOM or the Competition Commission will weigh this as the key factor.
Also, how this impacts the ISPs who opposed the original Kangaroo service is yet to be determined.

All of Yahoo’s services seem to be down (again) and this sent me onto the web in search of what is going on. Now, I would usually jump onto IM and ask friends around the web if they were experiencing the same problems, but, of course, Yahoo IM is down.
Online sites are suffering from news lag – they no longer provide news as fast as I’m ready to consume it and I’m getting more and more bored of the groundhog day effect of rolling news. The BBC this week repeated a story that I first heard on the radio at 6pm in the evening during their main lunchtime TV news the following day. And don’t tell me that they have a lack of resources.
Blogging and tweeting has moved the game on for news consumers and the format originated by CNN in the eighties feels more and more dated.
And I’ve finally figured out what Twitter is for..!

As regular readers of this blog will know, I cannot post about the company I founded, Narrowstep. However, I am not prevented from pointing out what exists in the public domain, so here’s a chart on where the company was when David McCourt appointed himself ‘interim CEO’ and where we are today. From around $1.20 to around $0.012. Nice work, Dave!
