Who You Gonna Call? YouTube!

by Michelle Lentz on August 14, 2009

In the spirit of the weekend (in that it is a weekend), I thought I’d share a little tidbit I just ran across in the LA Times.

As of August 13,  Ghostbusters is viewable for free, in its entirety, on YouTube. In a deal with Sony, YouTube is displaying the movie in the Sony Crackle player. The move is to help celebrate the 25th anniversary of the original movie.  You can view the film through August 20. As they put it on the YouTube blog,

But don’t take this opportunity for granted. You only have seven days to watch the movie before it ceases any and all supernatural activity and returns forthwith to its place of origin — or to the nearest convenient parallel dimension. So we’re challenging you, the YouTube community, to get out there and watch it, comment on it, and share it with your friends.

And in case you’re too young to have seen the original, or just need a refresher, here’s a trailer for your enjoyment:

Cheers!

Digital Family Reunion Connected Web 1.0 and Web 2.0

by Brian Solis on December 27, 2008

by Brian Solis

His vision: The Digital Family Reunion (DFR).

On Thursday, December 11th, the Digital Family Reunion united Southern California technology and business communities at the Skirball Cultural Center for one, absolutely epic event. In association with some of the region’s top trade associations and real world social networks, the DFR rekindled old relationships, sparked new alliances, and set the stage to kick off 2009 with a bright new hope and a head start.

The DFR aimed to fuse 1.0 + 2.0 to connect one another and inspire opportunities that will serve our industries, our region, and our society at large.

The theme?

“If we knew how connected we all are, how would that change everything?”

I’ll let the pictures tell the rest of the story…
