Lots of that in there. Not a good idea to use the bc console with a debug version of flash (or through a proxy like charles either).

Scott Kurnit who founded About.com, is on the board of Brightcove. NY TImes owns About.

Ummmmmm, hey Erick(Schonfeld), how do you deal with mis-attribution on this blog? For example, I didn’t write this comment at all.

launching new products by the time its just way of promoting their business because NY is having a lose at the stages of their business.

Back to the matter at hand. Anyone have any information on the fees Brightcove is asking for Brightcove 3?

“The NYT is way ahead of any of the other newspapers in online. Even though the company isn’t doing very well”
You mean they are way ahead going downhill? Yes, you are correct. So are all other major US newspapers.
Now that they are desperately trying for Barack Hussein to be the next president. He is going to lose, bite the dust monumentally. The NY Times has been bleeding badly for quite a while…

Well, this is not “my forum” and, yes, I do not like other people to say anything about their opinions, partisan or not. Yes, I am an a**hole!!! Proud of it!

It is not right. You may try, but how do you separate technology from content?

By: preetam mukherjee

preetam mukherjee — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 21:18:40 +0000

OK. I comment on the technology, because as a foreigner I do not understand the NY Times content as liberal vs conservative vs socialist. Maybe the move to Brightcove will work out for them. The content will not probably change.

i’m thinking that the financial condition and/or political position of the NY Times isn’t why this post was written.

i just checked out the nytimes video page, and the video quality on the brightcove player is awesome(and coming from me, that’s something, because we’re technically kinda-sorta in competition w/ BC). It also did a pretty decent job of adapting to my bandwidth, although i think Move Networks does a near-perfect job of this…so unlikely that Brightcove’s going to be able to catch up with Move on that front.

As for search, shouldn’t the Brightcove Flash app. come with a search box that’ll search through all videos published by a specific publisher, in this case, NY Times? That seems to make sense.
But then again, from the looks of it, the NY Times is running their own CMS to publish all those videos, and in that case, Erick’s right….the search box needs to be fixed so it only searches for video.

@ CG and MikeM: brilliant comments. Way more brilliant than you probably realize. Or maybe you already do. =)

btw this is not the forum for spouting off your opinions about the New York Times. Can’t you even look at a tech blog without viewing it through your partisan lens?

The NYT is way ahead of any of the other newspapers in online. Even though the company isn’t doing very well, I think their website is amazing. Did anyone notice the new social features they just added to the site? I don’t think it got a whole lot of coverage, but it actually quite compelling. They are really the model for newspaper websites going forward. Even the WSJ’s site has copied a lot of the ideas that NYT added a long time ago.

I was a NYT subscriber for 35 years. I grew incensed over their coverage of the Iraq war. I know it had little effect on them but I had to drop my subscription in protest. Apparently I wasn’t the only one as they are in dire financial straits.

I miss reading the paper but there are other places to keep up with comparable information.
