Well, it can’t come as much of a suprise but PaidContent is reporting that web video site SuperDeluxe will be no more:
“Turner told staff today it is folding SuperDeluxe.com into AdultSwim.com, and laying off much of the SuperDeluxe team.”
While SuperDeluxe did give a lot of funny people some money to make some funny videos they [...]
Well, yesterday I was reading a whole bunch about the launch of Crackle’s lineup of original programming (warning: horrible auto-play) brought to you by Sony Pictures. Before I had a chance to look for myself, NewTeeVee posted a really excellent review. Here are just a few choice highlights:

Today on TechCrunch Erick Schonfeld explored what he believes will be the answer to save TV advertising:
“We have a long way to go, but it boils down to two things: 1) replacing 30-second commercials on TV with relevant ad overlays that pop up at exactly the right moment during a show, and 2) automating the [...]

There is a fairly distressing post on Silicon Valley Insider about USC’s policy restricting film students from posting their work online:
“You see, as a USC film student, Evan had to sign over ownership of everything he produces as a student to USC. Either that or choose another major. And since USC owns all student films, it bans [...]
Babblegum, a company that has mostly been a P2P platform, has decided to spread its wings into the world of content creation. The news has not been met with thunderous applause…
PaidContent: While the latest shift, creating a studio, seems like a logical extension of content acquisition plans, it’s a different ball game altogether and the [...]
From the people who brought you WallStrip, the daily Wall Street web show featuring hot girls, has launched a new, more general news show called MobLogic.
