Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin “We can’t be everything to everyone.” It’s been a tough year for video-sharing platform Vimeo, from job cuts to a stock that’s worth a fraction of its 2021 IPO debut. While the company is not growing revenue at the 40%+ rate it saw during the pandemic, it is seeing strong growth in the enterprise market. For CEO Anjali Sud, that’s emblematic of where the business is going. “We set out to pivot the platform from competing with YouTube to being a platform that could power video for work,” she says. “We want to make video far easier and more accessible for every employee, every team and every organization to be able to create and share content the same way that they do on TikTok or their personal lives. While Sud acknowledges the headwinds from a tough economy, she’s investing in AI and other technologies to prepare for a video-first world. From being a platform for creatives, she finds herself speaking … [Read more...] about Vimeo CEO Anjali Sud On How To Talk To Employees—And The Future Of Video

In The Future, Expect To See Audio And Video Platforms Merge
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Founder & CEO of Aux Mode . Helping professional entertainment companies safeguard, monetize & analyze their content. To say that audio and video streaming platforms operate in a crowded market is a vast understatement. Consider behemoths including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music Unlimited, Tidal, Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, HBO, YouTube, Peacock, Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV—to name a few. When consumers have so many options, audio and video streaming companies don’t get the maximum share of their wallets. The average consumer might opt for, say, an Amazon Prime Video subscription but skip Amazon Music Unlimited in favor of Spotify, meaning Amazon doesn’t get as large a cut. In the future, I predict that audio and video platforms will merge to generate more revenue, among other benefits. The Convergence Of Audio And Video On Streaming Platforms These mergers haven’t happened yet, but … [Read more...] about In The Future, Expect To See Audio And Video Platforms Merge
Cat Fight! Breckie Hill Takes Shot At Rival Olivia Dunne While Stunning In Multiple Viral Videos
Uh oh, folks. We have a bit of a cat fight on our hands. Influencer Breckie Hill, who has a whopping 1.9 million followers on TikTok and has been compared to popular LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne , admitted to the beef she has with Livvy and also accused her of being a mean girl. “I do have beef with her,” Hill said in a recent interview. “Do you know her? Livvy Dunne? She’s a TikToker. She’s such a bitch. Also, every single person that’s, like, met her, has been like, ‘Oh, she’s so mean in person.'” Hill then claimed that she’d faced bullying from Dunne and her friends because of recent comments. “She’s like, ‘Oh, you’re body shaming me.’ Her and her friends were like, bullying me. They were like, ‘Oh yeah, she’s a dupe.’ Like a Walmart version [of Dunne].” If anything, the beef has only helped Hill, who continues to prosper on social media and she recently posted several new TikTok videos, with all of them (of course) going viral. @breckiehill ♬ low key casual … [Read more...] about Cat Fight!

NSA phone data-mining operation of all US Verizon customers revealed [VIDEO]
The NSA has been collecting the phone data of all Verizon customers anywhere inside the U.S. since at least April 25, according to a newly leaked top secret order from the U.S. government’s spy court. The court order showed that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, commonly called the FISA court, recently granted an FBI application to order Verizon to produce “all call detail records or “telephony metadata” created by Verizon for communications “(i) between the United States and abroad; or (ii) wholly within the United States, including local telephone calls.” The leaked court order expires on July 19, 2013, sanctioning a nearly 3 month operation by the NSA in which Verizon was mandated to hand over the requested data on “an ongoing daily basis” for the duration of the order, unless the FISA court said otherwise. The order — revealed by The Guardian on Wednesday evening — was meant to be declassified on April 12, 2038. An anonymous source for The Washington Post … [Read more...] about NSA phone data-mining operation of all US Verizon customers revealed [VIDEO]

You can’t stop generative AI fraud—but you can keep the criminals guessing
We’ve all experienced identity fraud in some way. At some point in your life, somebody has tried to be you. It’s hardly the sincerest form of flattery—more like a huge headache. The term identity fraud dates back almost 60 years. Back then, it was less prevalent (not less dangerous) because it was done manually. Think of someone splicing a photo into a stolen passport. Digital fraud is vastly more sophisticated—and commonplace. Even the most privacy-conscious leave a data trail that serves as ammunition for identity theft. Each day, more of you is distributed online. Think of the credit cards you own and how many accounts you’ve created on various platforms. In response, we’ve learned to be vigilant and wary. We even tolerate multifactor security. Just as we were making headway, though, here comes generative AI . Deepfakes are not new. What’s changed is that technologies of deception became commodities, turning them into convenient mass weapons for criminals. … [Read more...] about You can’t stop generative AI fraud—but you can keep the criminals guessing
Deputies Sue Afroman After Raiding His Home
The Adams County Sheriff’s Office is suing Afroman for using video footage of their January raid on his home in his music video. Several deputies have sued the artist claiming he was profiting from the sale of merchandise that included their images, according to a source with direct knowledge of the matter. The lawsuit, obtained by The Daily Caller, indicates Afroman was not at his residence at the time of the raid , but his wife was inside the home and managed to record the police in action. Residential surveillance footage also recorded the raid as it unfolded. Members of Adams County Sheriff’s Office insist they didn’t provide consent for their images to be used or profited from. The officers claim the artist proceeded to release music videos, social media posts and physical merchandise products without their approval, and are calling this an invasion of privacy and misappropriation of their likenesses. They said Afroman’s actions were “willful , wanton, malicious … [Read more...] about Deputies Sue Afroman After Raiding His Home

Media Loses It Over Morgan Wallen’s Latest Number One Hit
Morgan Wallen’s latest single “Last Night” hit number one in March, and the liberal media are losing their minds over how successful he’s become without their support. Wallen is one of the top-selling artists of all time, having broken record after record with his last two albums “Dangerous: The Double Album” and the recent “One Thing At A Time.” The stunning success is no surprise to anyone who has actually listened to Wallen’s music (it’s freaking incredible). But after his almost-cancellation in 2021, the liberal media are refusing to accept Wallen’s talent and apologies. He was caught on a video using a racial slur, leading many of his media supporters to drop him. Wallen spent a huge amount of time rebuilding his career. He understood the damage he caused, and apologized emphatically for his prior ignorance. Still, people like Slate Magazine’s Chris Molanphy basically said the only reason millions of people adore Wallen’s work is because we’re trying to “own the … [Read more...] about Media Loses It Over Morgan Wallen’s Latest Number One Hit
This New Skincare Line Is Changing How We Protect Our Skin From The Sun—And How We Age
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Think back to your high school science classes and there’s a good chance your projects consisted of building a volcano or experimenting with fruit flies. But that certainly wasn’t the case for Sophie Bai , who was chosen to enroll in the National Science Program on behalf of China at age 14. When she was 16, she discovered an anti-aging compound and a minor planet (Planet No. 25045) was named after her by NASA and MIT Lincoln Laboratory to celebrate her scientific accomplishment. From there, Bai attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where she studied chemical engineering with a focus on biomedical engineering. Since then, she has invented and patented multiple proprietary molecules to provide cures and treatment for eczema, skin cancer and skin aging. After completing her MBA at Harvard Business School, Bai founded B.A.I. Biosciences, and that extensive research, along with her own skincare journey, lead her to … [Read more...] about This New Skincare Line Is Changing How We Protect Our Skin From The Sun—And How We Age
