OnHollywood: Where Digital Media Meets
Last night was the beginning of OnHollywood at the historic Roosevelt Hotel on Hollywood Boulevard. This should be a very interesting coupla days of schmoozing and learning about what's next in online music, video and social networking.I was hanging out with marketing guru Renee (I know everyone on the planet) Blodgett, which always includes ample doses of surprising moments. She's the Kevin Bacon of the online/technology world -- everything that happens somehow passes through her.
I met Mariana Danilovic, the VP of business development at MediaZone, a video distribution company that broadcasts free and pay-for television. MediaZone features international programming plus sports and lifestyle programming. Content can be downloaded, and they also wrap it in community features so that you can chat about programs while you watch.
Speaking of video, I briefly met Alexander Rowland, the CEO of CozmoTV. CozmoTV groups content into channels to help sort through the YouTube maze and simplify finding relevant content. Users can also customize feeds based on tags to create their own channels.
It was refreshing to hear talk that extended beyond the Web 2.0 bubble. Chase Norlin, CEO of image and video search company Pixsy and Kevon Saber, the co-founder of game site GenPlay Games were talking about solving poverty and homelessness, of all things. Things should get even more interesting today as the event officially starts.
