The Future of Interactive Online Video

Greetings, I have a long history of developing online products for the sports industry and my latest experiment is with interactive online video that allows for every moving object on the screen to be a link to other media content. Ex: Click on a player and read his stats, click on the jumbotron ad and view and purchase the product displayed, click on an audio link while the stadium music is playing and you can purchase the song from itunes, you get the point. What do you all think about the p… Continue

David,

Hello my name is Mark Heller and I'm the CEO of Diehard101.com. We are launching in 5 weeks and I want to talk to you about your post that you had about a live link off of a video. I have a couple of different projects that I'm working on where I think you and I can do some work together. When would be a good time for us to talk?

Mark

Twitter- I basically use it now instead of Facebook to keep up with things and meet new, interesting people. I think it's a great tool for increasing/enhancing one's web presence and another way to let people find you and increase touches with your audience.

There are also ways to find out/keep track of what people are saying about a brand on Twitter. This can be beneficial, since it allows companies/individuals to respond instantly to any negative (or positive) discussions.

Would be happy to talk more or help if you'd like.

sounds good. Would be interested to see it when you're done.

David- I really really like the Team Flight Brothers website. Do you use Twitter at all to increase touches with fans and get to know your audience better? If not, let me know and I'd love to explore ways I could help (or help with anything else with TFB...)
