Say it ain’t so
Melinda gone? How could it happen. Mary C. Matthews, producer of Idol Critic, explained it to me in email: “Did we really expect a nation that voted GWB in TWICE to at least choose an American Idol wisely?”
Meanwhile, over at IdolCritic
Liza Persky’s latest take on IdolCritic and Barry Gibb’s teeth:
Betting on Black20
I’ve just invested in Black20, an energetic and creative new small-TV company that is sure to grow big. Virginia Heffernan wrote a great piece telling their story so rather than try to tell it again, I’ll just say go there. And go watch some Black20 videos. These guys are talented, funny, ambitious, smart, and tireless. I’ve just invested in the studio of the future.
Other investors and amounts aren’t being announced — sorry, Staci, Rafat, Om, and Liz.
I have been blathering a lot about exploding TV. But I am putting my money and time where my mouth is with my own small video venture — so far producing IdolCritic and PrezVid — and with my investment in Black20. The new means to produce and distribute — contrasted with the incredible cost of the old ways — opens up incredible opportunity. Keep an eye on the guys at Black20.
