SightSpeed releases SightSpeed 5.0 to glowing reviews
On July 26, 2006, Berkeley, California-based
SightSpeed, the leading provider of free and premium personal video services over the Internet,
announced the release of SightSpeed 5.0.
This product, which offers "the highest quality and first complete suite of easy-to-use personal video services that are delivered over the Internet for both Windows PCs and Macintosh personal computers and are interoperable between both," has been receiving rave reviews from all over the Web.
Daniel Jankowski at
PC Magazine wrote (about SightSpeed 5.0 [beta], on May 25, 2006): "
Phenomenal. That's the first word that leapt into my jaded reviewer's mind when I saw the exceptional video quality of the latest SightSpeed beta."
On August 8, 2006, in its
review of the released product,
PC Magazine said: "Hands down the best free Internet video calls offered by any Web Service. You'll be amazed at the video quality and tight synchronization of audio and video when using a broadband connection and 30-frames-per-second webcam."
three media innovators cover the release of SightSpeed 5.0
If you go right now (4:00 pm, PDT, on Sunday, August 13, 2006) to the
"About Us – Vlogs & Digital Media" page on the SightSpeed web site, you'll see links to recent coverage of the SightSpeed 5.0 release by three web sites that are themselves innovative platforms for the coverage of such innovations as the new SightSpeed product. In case you're getting here when links to these three media outlets have already slipped off their current perches, you can see them memorialized in the graphic below:

These three sources of coverage of the release of SightSpeed 5.0--
Etopia News's
Entertainment Technology World, KenRadio, and
Robin Good's Master New Media--are not only themselves cutting-edge examples of new media innovation, but, ironically, they are also three news sources that have been actively covering each other. Their joint appearance here as sources of early information about SightSpeed's industry-leading videoconferencing product shows clearly that it’s a small, small, virtual world.
Robin Good covers and syndicates programming from Etopia News
Robin Good "is a new media communication expert, an award-winning information and identity designer and an independent analyst in the field of online collaboration, Web-conferencing and live presentation technologies." On July 21, 2006, he reported on efforts at
Etopia News to create and use a system for
online remote video interviewing. More recently, his
Master New Media ("What Communications Experts Need to Know") web site (available in English, Italian, and Spanish) became the first
Brightcove Affiliate to syndicate the
Peak Oil/Global Warming Channel, an in-depth look at these intertwined issues produced by
Etopia News in collaboration with the
Online Broadcasting Service (OBS).
You can access these syndicated Brightcove Players, with an introduction in English,

Etopia News covers KenRadio's creator and producer Ken Rutkowski
On March 27, 2006, at the
Loew's Santa Monica Beach Hotel,
Ken Rutkowski, founder and producer of
KenRadio Broadcasting, moderated an industry panel on "Mobile Global Domination" at the Digital Hollywood conference.
Etopia News was there to cover that panel discussion about new media and interviewed Mr. Rutkowski afterwards, during which exchange he summarized the participating industry leaders' comments about the present and future of mobile television and music streaming and downloading.
You can now watch and listen to that interview with Ken Rutkowski; to his introduction to the panel discussion about mobile media; and to his fielding of, and a response from Senior Director of Wireless Product Development for MTV networks Jeremiah Zinn to, a question from an
Etopia News reporter there about "net neutrality" as it applies to "on-deck" and "off-deck" mobile video content, in the syndicatable Brightcove Player below.
This
Covering SightSpeed Channel video distribution platform also includes two audio and one video interviews with SightSpeed President and COO Scott Lomond (in which he talks about the releases of SightSpeed 4.0, SightSpeed 4.5, and SightSpeed 5.0), as well as a recent interview with
ElectionMall Technologies CEO Ravi Singh, in which he discusses his "one-stop shop" for Web-based campaign and election tools, with particular reference to the
recently-announced strategic alliance between
ElectionMall and
SightSpeed to synergize their platforms and give political candidates, on a non-partisan basis, the means to easily and inexpensively use the power of the Web and digital video to communicate their messages to a vast audience of citizens and potential voters in a convenient and timely way.
