I uploaded my video almost two months back, it was a silly home made video expressing how I was addicted to Twitter. Facebook today removed the video:
“We have removed your video entitled “I’m addicted to Twitter” uploaded at 1:39am October 17th, 2008. We did this because we learned that your video might include copyrighted material owned by a third party, such as a video clip or background audio.”
(Read the complete notice below)
Obviously I don’t have (exclusive) rights to use the background audio. I hold my hands up to it, although it clearly shows Facebook is now on to something . Removing homemade videos, is this the Microsoft influence or just advertisers looking for genuine User Generated Content ?
Compare that with YouTube who also actively remove videos infringing copyright, although only when they get too popular or someone actively complains about them. My video only has 137 views (absolutely tiny) and except from being silly and promoting Twitter doesn’t have much to it. Surely Twitter didn’t complain about it. So who did ? If no one complained then why remove the video and annoy users ?
The title perhaps doesn’t do justice to the blog, never the less what I meant is ‘If your business was a person what characteristics would they have ?’ Workaholics, party animals, lazy, clever etc.
I think of my business (Kwiqq) as a person and it comprises of everyone who works for it. If my business was a person it would be someone who works hard plays hard. Kwiqq likes to be involved in things and has much more than just a pure commercial objectives. Kwiqq has a nice sense of humour, Kwiqq is friendly, welcoming and very ambitious !
The characteristic of our business is important because it helps us find the right people to join the business. It tells people the DNA of your business and what they could expect from us.
Nice little feature for TripIt addicts. TripIt allows users to manage their travel. Its predominantly for the users to manage their own tasks as oppose to sharing it with friends like Dopplr. Although TripIt has now decided to allow sharing of trips with your blog visitors. Mine:
[Update] the card doesn’t work for me. Although the javascript (code) does show in the source. Anyone ?
I’m guessing the feature is aimed at bloggers who travel to a lot of conferences. I guess it is a nice way for TripIt to market their services and for bloggers to showcase their travel.
For many it would mean little (I guess as a geek you would understand it better), but it has taken a lot of pain and effort to achieve this without using any external organisation. No buying selling links and no malpractice
I’m not sure how long will Kwiqq.com stay there but I’m confident we will be up there for quiet a few keywords in the coming months.
Whilst Kwiqq’s design team are working on a website focused on the startup culture. We have been discussing about how I started Kwiqq. I realised this information might be useful for someone just starting up. So I will try and add one useful tip everyday. This will be available in the startup tip section.
Tip 1:
Logo is a very important part of the companies future and . Hence its vital that company gets a bespoke logo designed. The logo should not only match your vision and companies theme but also clearly explain its purpose. Any typeface used should be readable. Nothing worst than a brand you can’t read. What do you think of this logo ?
