From the TV section of today’s Washington Post: “And finally, the online analysts at Arlington-based New Media Strategies reported yesterday that the impersonations of mostly dead people delivered by Rich Little — who we also thought was dead — at the correspondents’ dinner had enjoyed 4,600 views on YouTube — but Sanjaya’s red-carpet arrival at the prom for politicians and news talent copped 7,000 views.” The most viewed clip, according to our team, was actually neither of these earth-shattering, paradigm redefining moments, but rather David Letterman’s remote contribution of a Top 10 list, dwarfing both with over a half million views during the same time period. No word on the blogosphere’s tone on Sanjaya’s mop, however.

The new Wired hit the New Media Sense mailbox yesterday, and the feature/guide to online video is a must read - covering video blogs, “The New Networks” and how to make your own video blog/viral video using the tools at hand. (And if you don’t get Wired, the online versionof the video feature is slated to go live on May 1)

Look no further for the elusive 25-35 male demographic. CBS Sportsline is launching a free, live webcast of the 2006 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. CBS Sportsline is hoping up to 5 million online viewers log-on to watch games streamed live or replay them after they’ve aired – potentially matching March Madness’ expected television audience. Online viewers will have access to any game not aired by their local CBS affiliate, and those registered with the site before March 15 will have priority access if traffic becomes too heavy to support all viewers during game time. While sponsors like Dell and Courtyard by Marriot are cheering at the prospect of using technology to connect with a young male audience on their own turf, the men are no doubt cheering about the “Boss Button” which instantly closes a “working” employee’s game window and launches a faux spreadsheet. Happy March fellas.

Micropersuasion had a post about a recent study di3scussing that online video had its “Big Bang” following the Apple/iTunes annoucement and suggests that the industry will grow by 89% through 2010. That’s a LOT of growth. A lot of annoucements have been made over the last 3-4 months regarding different video programs, and I’m wondering which ones will stick, merge and/or change between now and 2010 - during that time of growth. What factors will make the leader (or leaders) emerge between now and then?

Somehow the day got done and all I have is time for some short stuff.
