Getting ready to leave CES and Las Vegas I can't help but be so inspired by the IAWTV and the online video community.
Last night was a huge success! Having everyone in the same room was a huge reminder of the amount of talent working in and for our industry. We love and admire all of you, and can't wait to work with more of you in 2012!
We're on the scene in Vegas. My Damn Channel Founder/CEO, Rob Barnett, was selected as one of the "25 Executives to Watch in Digital Entertainment" by Digital Media Wire.
Digital Media Wire is a full scale media company that owns and produces 8 major conferences, publishes daily newsletters and directories, and operates the popular www.dmwmedia.com news and community portal.
Rob and his fellow honorees dissected all things digital at today's all-afternoon conference in the city of sin.
Rob was also a guest speaker on a Kodak panel at CES moderated by Kodak Chief Marketing Officer, Jeff Hayzlett. You can find the 20-minute video called "I Want My Web TV" (part 1) from 1p today here.
Part 2 features our wonderful wizard, star and guiding light from "Easy to Assemble," Illeana Douglas. You can also catch her TubeFilter interview from CES here.
As soon as all the advils and bloody marys take effect, we're getting ready to launch all new episodes of EASY TO ASSEMBLE on Wednesday, January 20 on My Damn Channel. And what about SPARHUSEN??? More shall be revealed 1.20.10.

Several celebrities, from Rosie O'Donnell to Oprah Winfrey, have embraced the Internet with personal success. And a handful have taken it a step beyond, launching general video websites that feature content from many sources. Among them:
-FunnyOrDie.com, cofounded by actor Will Ferrell, writer/director Adam McKay and writer Chris Henchy.
-Channelme.tv, in which talk show host Carson Daly is a partner, provides tools for people to create video-centric social networking pages.
-DanceJam.com, co-founded by MC Hammer, is slated to launch this month with dance videos.
-MyDamnChannel.com, a website for "artists to co-produce, distribute and monetize original, episodic video content," according to the site, boasts channel providers including actor/writer Harry Shearer, actor/comedian David Wain and musician/record producer Don Was. |
