Chasing the long tail of new media

Ashton Kutcher

Tweets in Space!

April 23, 2009 by Jim Connelly

Because you are absolutely nobody or nothing if you don’t have a presence on Twitter right now, NASA has gotten into the game. This week, they announced that one of their astronauts — Mike Massimino — is going to be using the Twitter from the Space Shuttle.

Top that, Oprah and Ashton!

In any event, Massimino — tweeting under the admittedly awesome nom de twit of “Astro_Mike” — is a relative newbie to the Twitter, so you can only imagine what he will be tweeting.

Well, luckily, you don’t have to. As it turns out, Medialoper is currently beta testing super secret software that allows us to go and retrieve tweets from the not-too-distant future, and I’ve compiled a list of some of the things that Astro_Mike will be sharing with a waiting world.

Good Feelings About AOL

April 13, 2006 by Kassia Krozser

I am going to say something I never thought I’d say: AOL (formerly known as American Online) is starting to look very interesting to me. For a lot of reasons, I’ve never had a need to visit the AOL website, except to do something or other with Instant Messenger. I’ve always found their system to be a bit clunky, and it was easier to find what I wanted somewhere else.

But I’m fascinated by their commitment to creating original programming — series — for online viewers. They’ve recently inked a deal with Ashton Kutcher/Jason Goldman’s Katalyst Films to develop five comedy series of at least 20 episodes each. Now back in the day when Medialoper was a just a twinkle in our eye, one of the things that made us laugh (really hard) was an assertion from an unnamed network executive that the traditional studio structure was a requirement for producing ongoing, multi-episode series.
