The power of the dead goat

By

Interestingly, and despite the amount of competition out there, it seems like I received a bit of a traffic boost yesterday.

And it’s all thanks to Sony, God of War 2, and the ‘Dead Goat‘ PR stunt.

So as much as I’ve attacked Sony for their bizarre PR approach, and the underwhelming PS3 which seems destined to be the console for those left after the twin onslaught of the Xbox 360 (Online gamers) and Nintendo Wii (Fun gamers), I’d like to offer a heartfelt thanks to the electronic giants.

And I wouldn’t mind a PSP in return, as that’s a console I feel has been underrated by the general public. Especially as it offers quite a bit more than just gaming, if you can be intrigued enough to figure out how it all works…

More convergence for online entertainment

By

It seems like there’s a new story about media converging every day at the moment. Actually, it seems more like 20 per day. And most are offering something of interest.

  • StumbleUpon Video on the Ninteno Wii (Techcrunch): A good move for StumbleUpon to get word of mouth and entice all the owners of the new Nintendo console. And it’s a more efficient way of getting content that MS licensing individual companies and videos for their Live service.
  • Myspace is offering video filtering. Viacom is looking for a Youtube work around (NewTeeVee): Both these stories in the NewTeeVee round up suggest that the mighty Gootube still hasn’t won over content providers, or scared away rivals enough to be totally secure.
  • Last.fm secure music from Warner.(Downloadsquad). One music company has hitched a trailer to the social music network. How long before the others finally join up, particularly as the conversations about Digital Rights Management are generally allowing that the pirates had it right all along?
