Wired on YouTube

Constituo, ergo sum. An interesting formulation that may well represent a new rationalism for the digital age. But for the moment, let’s not put Descartes before the horse. Let’s just get the measure of a phenomenon in progress – because Google has recently bet the equivalent of 257 Mervyns stores that the rise of video-sharing is more than just the latest rage. To YouTube’s new owners, “Numa Numa” represents nothing less than cultural, sociological, and economic transformation – including, but not limited to, a reallocation of the $67 billion that advertisers spent on TV in the US last year.

Rajshri Online

Vivah might have mixed reponse at the the box-office.
But Rajshri’s courtship with broadband has begun and is
making all the right moves.

First, it has some great content online available as ‘free’ video streams.
Second, it is fast building its content repository adding outside content as well.
Third, it is playing around with the medium by offering even its latest movie ‘Vivah’ for  fee download.

The last one sounds pretty promising on two counts.

  1. Create ‘openings’ akin to physical box-office openings on
    the internet
  2. To some extent manage the damage that result from the
    negative reviews on the internet by making a certain percentage
    of them watch the movie instantly
  3. And, if the movie is good, it would sure generate good
    mouth talk and it would spill over into the the other media as well.

While online business model continues to evolve for Rajshri Productions,
Bollywood lovers could  feast on some great videos and old Rajshri
movies.:-)
