In fact, when interaction is cheap, the very economic rationale for orthodox brands actually begins to implode: information about expected costs and benefits doesn’t have to be compressed into logos, slogans, ad-spots or column-inches – instead, consumers can debate and discuss expected costs and benefits in incredibly rich detail.

Do you provide a place in your Local Listings, Video Sharing, and Blog where your customers can review, comment on, and validate your Brand?

We came across this window washer shaking it while he worked. It looked like he was having fun and we like fun!

A few days ago we went into Old Sacramento and walked around. We enjoy the historic districts in the area and had fun shooting this video.

I’ve posted previously about the Timberlake Effect, and have been wondering why we don’t see it on Yahoo Video. Despite many more visitors to YouTube, we get many more views on Yahoo Video. While we get more Hit Videos on YouTube, we get more even viewership on Yahoo Video. My guess is that with more videos to view on YouTube, folks look to others for guidance, and with fewer videos to view on Yahoo Video, folks just browse more.

Bill and I have been watching these strange birds at the Lake of the Pines Lake in Auburn, CA. They sit on a perch and hold their wings out for a long time, then they dive under water and swim amazing distances. For awhile we didn’t know what they were, and then we found them on Wikipedia. They are called Cormorants and they’re pretty cool.

A few days ago we upgraded cameras to a Canon GL2. It shoots amazing quality and we are really enjoying. This is just some test footage we did to see how well the quality comes across online.

Our turtle is lonely these days, so lonely she’s making moves on the rock in her tank. Time for the “Birds and the Bees” talk with her, or I guess it would be the “Turtle and the Rock” talk.
