			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://allthingsd.com/20120207/viral-video-hulus-original-paul-the-male-matchmaker-set-to-debut/paul-the-male-matchmaker-hulu-150x150/" rel="attachment wp-att-172050"><img src="http://allthingsd.com/files/2012/02/paul-the-male-matchmaker-hulu-150x150.png" alt="" title="paul-the-male-matchmaker-hulu-150x150" width="150" height="150" class="alignright size-full wp-image-172050" /></a></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the trailer for Hulu&#8217;s latest original content offering about a very unusual matchmaker.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s irksome &#8220;Paul, the Male Matchmaker,&#8221; a 10-episode spoof series from Warner Bros. Television Group&#8217;s Studio 2.0, which will debut on the premium video service on Feb. 13.</p>
<p>Get it? The day before Valentine&#8217;s Day.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s got the same tone as Lisa Kudrow&#8217;s successful (and now on cable television&#8217;s Showtime) &#8220;Web Therapy,&#8221; with lots of well-known guest stars. </p>
<p>I kind of like it from the teaser here, but we&#8217;ll see:</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Meet our newest AllThingsD writer, who will cover consumer tech products and issues.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://allthingsd.com/files/2011/11/GoodeDigits2-380x213.png" alt="Lauren Goode" title="Lauren Goode" width="380" height="213" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-147973" /></p>
<p>We are thrilled to welcome another strong reporter to the <strong>AllThingsD</strong> team: Lauren Goode, who will cover consumer tech products and issues. She&#8217;ll be based in New York.</p>
<p>Lauren comes to us from the digital arm of our sister news organization, The Wall Street Journal, where she was a video producer and reporter, from 2008 to 2011. She helped launch the Journal&#8217;s live-streaming video programming and produced and co-hosted the daily &#8220;Digits&#8221; technology show, which regularly features our <strong>ATD</strong> staff along with Journal reporters and editors. (We hope to see her there from time to time as a guest herself now.) She was also a contributing writer to the Digits blog on WSJ.com, and wrote posts on consumer technology products.</p>
<p>Prior to joining the Journal, Lauren worked in cable television from 2003 to 2008, producing and writing shows for A&#038;E Television Networks&#8217; award-winning &#8220;Biography&#8221; series, after having started her career as a production assistant at ESPN in New York.</p>
<p>The addition of Lauren to <strong>AllThingsD</strong> is just the latest move in an expansion that has seen our staff more than double in the past year, including adding new reporters, editors and developers. This has allowed us to broaden and deepen our coverage, to break more news and also to begin doing different types of stories than many other blogs offer, such as our recent series on Facebook&#8217;s smartphone effort.</p>
<p>We have more new coverage and staff expansions planned, so stay tuned. And, as always, thanks for your readership, which has been increasing strongly quarter after quarter. We aim to keep earning your loyalty and trust.</p>
<p>Going forward, Lauren can be reached at <a href="mailto:lauren@allthingsd.com">lauren@allthingsd.com</a>, and you can read more about her <a href="http://allthingsd.com/about/#lauren">bio and ethics statement here</a>.</p>
<p>&#8211; Walt &#038; Kara</p>

<p>HBO has put out a new trailer for the second season of the cable series, &#8220;Game of Thrones,&#8221; which is based on the fantasy novels by George R. R. Martin that are a geek favorite.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s clearly packed full of the medieval conniving we all know and love.</p>
<p>Enjoy:</p>

<p>The Swisher boys and I are giant fans of &#8220;Annoying Orange,&#8221; the YouTube video sensation that stars a very irksome citrus fruit (not to be confused with a bitter, teensy one). </p>
<p>That&#8217;s why I was thrilled that the meme finally <a href="http://allthingsd.com/20110414/viral-video-the-annoying-orange-goes-hollywood/">penned a long-expected deal</a> with the Cartoon Network to produce a regular animated 30-minute cable television series for 2012.</p>
<p>Apparently, the toothy Orange and his long-suffering fruit and vegetable friends will travel through time in a &#8220;magical fruit car&#8221; and have adventures. </p>
<p>I am <em>in</em> &#8212; and, presumably, Apple, even after the knife incident.</p>
<p>You can see that below, along with my favorite Webisode, &#8220;Sandy Claus&#8221;:</p>

<p>Of all the fantastic characters on the brilliant HBO comedy series, &#8220;Curb Your Enthusiasm,&#8221; the one I can never get enough of is JB Smoove, the innovative comic who plays Larry David&#8217;s best sidekick, Leon Black. </p>
<p>Here is an insidery, slightly tasteless, but decidedly funny spoof video of Smoove taking over Hollywood&#8217;s William Morris Endeavor talent agency on Yom Kippur, the Jewish holiday.</p>
<p>In it, Smoove decides to &#8220;<em>run sh*t!</em>&#8220;</p>
<p>And so he does:</p>

<p>I am not one for celebrity roasts, but I am looking forward to this Comedy Central skewering of Charlie Sheen.</p>
<p>Since his character was killed off on the hit television series &#8220;Two and a Half Men,&#8221; Sheen has been making himself roastworthy.</p>
<p>Enjoy this clip of the Sept. 19 show, featuring &#8220;Family Guy&#8221; creator Seth MacFarlane:</p>

<p>It seems the computer-generated imagery in &#8220;Rise of the Planet of the Apes&#8221; convinced critics and audiences that the well-worn movie series prequel is a winner.</p>
<p>It grabbed $54 million at the box office over its opening weekend.</p>
<p>Its producer, Peter Chernin, told me that a lot more of the film than it seems &#8212; including the stunning opening scenes in the wild that look like a real-life nature special &#8212; were mostly CGI, used to prep audiences for extended scenes of the apes morphing into believable rebels.</p>
<p>Here is the last trailer for the movie:</p>

<p>In honor of Comic-Con International, the huge and nerd-tastic comic book convention, opening tonight, here&#8217;s the new teaser trailer for the third of Hollywood director Chris Nolan&#8217;s elegant Batman movie series, &#8220;The Dark Knight Rises.&#8221;</p>
<p>The movie debuts next year and will be the final installment for this franchise. The previous film starred the late Heath Ledger as the Joker.</p>
<p>And, this latest effort already looks creepier and darker than ever, featuring a leather-clad Catwoman (played by Anne Hathaway) and a whole lot of special effects:</p>

<p>This is a very funny CollegeHumor video series, called<br />
&#8220;Always Open With Dave Koechner,&#8221; a great if unsung comic. It is set at a Denny&#8217;s restaurant. Really.</p>
<p>This perfectly awkward episode features another comedy gem, Amy Poehler.</p>
<p>Maybe it is just me, but a lot of these small Web-only videos are really starting to get interesting.</p>

<p>BoomTown is a major fan of the entire &#8220;Planet of the Apes&#8221; Hollywood movie franchise and will not apologize for one single second about this freakish apocalyptic series.</p>
<p>Except the bad one done most recently by director Tim Burton, which was <em>really</em> bad, but not in a good way.</p>
<p>In any case, this one, &#8220;Rise of the Planet of the Apes&#8221;&#8211;starring the ubiquitous James Franco and one scary-looking dude playing an ape&#8211;looks dang good.</p>
<p>It comes out in August:</p>

<p>The hit YouTube video series &#8220;The Annoying Orange&#8221; is apparently going to become an animated television series.</p>
<p>According to a <a href="http://www.deadline.com/2011/04/hit-youtube-series-the-annoying-orange-to-become-animated-tv-show/">report in Deadline Hollywood</a>:</p>
<p>&#8220;Management/production company The Collective has teamed with Dane Boedigheimer, creator of the popular YouTube series The Annoying Orange, to produce The Annoying Orange animated TV comedy series.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Orange in question essentially heckles other fruits and veggies, using a freaky human mouth. After only a half-dozen episodes, the series has garnered tens of millions of views each.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s two of them, which are pretty funny:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lions Gate Entertainment Corp., which produces the hit television series &#8220;Mad Men,&#8221; struck a deal with Netflix Inc. to stream all seven seasons of the critically acclaimed show about a 1960s advertising agency.</p>
<p>The deal is worth between $75 million and $100 million, people close to the situation said. That means Netflix is paying close to $1 million per episode of the series, which &#8220;Mad Men&#8221; creator Matthew Weiner said last week would run seven seasons. Each season has 13 episodes, which Lions Gate licenses to cable network AMC.</p>
<p>The new agreement marks the latest deal that Netflix has struck with a film and television studio. The company has recently inked a slew of deals to add new content to its streaming site, including one with Miramax, which includes &#8220;Pulp Fiction&#8221; and other iconic independent movies.</p>

<p>This new television series from TNT about aliens invading Earth, titled &#8220;Falling Skies,&#8221; is exec-produced by Steven Spielberg. It premieres in June.</p>
<p>As you might recall, the Hollywood legend knows a thing or two about space creatures, including making the hit movies &#8220;E.T.&#8221; and &#8220;Close Encounters of the Third Kind.&#8221;</p>
<p>But these new aliens, as it turns out, aren&#8217;t quite so benevolent or cuddly:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Companies rushing to develop original video series for the Web are scrambling to solve one of the industry&#8217;s biggest problems: building an audience.</p>
<p>The challenge, which has stumped creators since the dawn of Web video, is getting more urgent as many producers shift their attention from creating one-off viral hits to online video franchises. Media companies and advertisers say they have money to invest, but loyal audiences, while growing, remain elusive.</p>
<p>Sites including Hulu LLC, IAC/InterActiveCorp&#8217;s CollegeHumor, Blip.tv and Demand Media&#8217;s Cracked.com are trying to draw recurring viewership by enticing users to tune in at a certain day of the week, running TV-like promos for Web shows or cross-promoting series against similar content.</p>
<p><a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703696704576223194142635486.html?mod=WSJ_Tech_LEFTTopNews">Read the rest of this post on the original site</a></p>

<p>Last night in Redwood City, Chris Shipley&#8211;who used to run the famed Demo conference&#8211;had a ribbon-cutting for Studio G, a new office for her Guidewire Group aimed at the start-up community.</p>
<p>According to Guidewire: &#8220;Studio G is destined to become the high-energy hub of a global network of entrepreneurs and their mentors and partners working together to build the next great wave of high-value technology companies.&#8221;</p>
<p>At the opening party for Studio G, Shipley described the business accelerator as a drop-in and co-working space, a community center with a program series for early-stage companies.</p>
<p>There are lots of these kinds of places in Silicon Valley, but <strong>All Things Digital</strong> wishes Shipley well at this one.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a short video tour of the place and an interview with Shipley there:</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Not content to rest on its dual-core laurels, Nvidia said it will have a chip out later this year that combines four processing cores and 12-graphics chip cores to power, among other things, video with far better than HD resolution.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chipmaker Nvidia plans this year to introduce a four-core processor, code-named Project Kal-El, that should offer roughly five times the processing power of its existing Tegra chip and, what it says, has significantly more horsepower than an Intel Core 2 Duo chip.<br />
<img src="http://mobilized.allthingsd.com/files/2011/02/Slide2-380x285.jpg" alt="" title="Slide2" width="380" height="285" class="alignright size-Medium380 wp-image-4254" /><br />
Briefing reporters at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Nvidia said it plans to include a 12-core graphics processor along with the quad-core CPU. All that processing oomph should support &#8220;Extreme HD&#8221; graphics with a resolution of up to 2,560 by 1,600 pixels. The chip is now sampling to customers, Nvidia said. </p>
<p>The company has more ambitious goals for subsequent years, with  plans to more than double performance in each of the next three years with chips code-named Wayne, Logan and Stark.</p>
<p>Nvidia&#8217;s current Tegra 2 chip is at the heart of many Android phones and a number of Android Honeycomb tablets, including the <a href="http://mobilized.allthingsd.com/20110105/tablets-flying-fast-and-furious-at-ces/">Motorola Xoom, LG G-Slate</a> and the <a href="http://mobilized.allthingsd.com/20110213/samsung-does-only-the-expected-introduces-galaxy-s-galaxy-tab-sequels-video/">just-introduced Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1</a>.</p>
<p>However, Nvidia isn&#8217;t the only company ramping things up. Qualcomm <a href="http://mobilized.allthingsd.com/20110213/qualcomm-aims-to-heat-up-phone-chip-race-with-dual-core-quad-core-chips/">announced a new series of ARM-based chips on Monday</a>, though its quad-core chip isn&#8217;t slated to arrive until 2012.</p>
<p>For more on Nvidia&#8217;s plans for the future, check out the <a href="http://kara.allthingsd.com/20110121/full-dces-interview-video-nvidias-jen-hsuan-huang/">onstage interview</a> I did with CEO Jen-Hsun Huang at our <strong>D@CES</strong> event in January.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://mobilized.allthingsd.com/files/2011/02/Stephen-elop1-150x150.jpg" alt="" title="Stephen-elop1-150x150" width="150" height="150" class="alignright size-full wp-image-3596" /></p>
<p>Memo to tech CEOs everywhere: Now <em>that&#8217;s</em> how to write an internal memo.</p>
<p>That would be the 1,300-word one that Nokia CEO Stephen Elop (pictured here) apparently penned for employees at the Finnish telecom giant, which inevitably leaked to the media (in this case, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/08/nokia-ceo-stephen-elop-rallies-troops-in-brutally-honest-burnin/">kudos to Engadget</a> for getting the whole thing, which is below).</p>
<p>Elop uses the harsh but cogent metaphor of a burning oil platform to take a bracing opening shot at turning around Nokia, which has lost market share&#8211;and, more importantly, mindshare&#8211;to both Apple&#8217;s iOS and Google&#8217;s Android mobile operating system.</p>
<p>This is not breaking news to anyone in the wider tech world, of course. But for the CEO to say it so flatly and brutally to the insular troops at Nokia makes it remarkable.</p>
<p>As you can read, it&#8217;s dramatic all right, and just the kind of thing a lot of leaders at troubled companies&#8211;<em>Hello, Yahoo!</em>&#8211;could learn a thing or two from.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s because it&#8217;s honest and also genuine, and with enough of a direction and glimpses into pending action&#8211;to be <a href="http://mobilized.allthingsd.com/20110127/nokia-ceo-elop-lays-groundwork-for-new-strategy-to-be-announced-next-month">revealed later this week at an event to unveil a new strategy</a>&#8211;that it&#8217;s not just a diatribe by a new manager about how bad the previous managers were.</p>
<p>There is clearly plenty of that, of course, which is no surprise. But with rumors of an <a href="http://mobilized.allthingsd.com/20110205/could-executive-departures-accompany-nokia-strategy-shift/">imminent significant management overhaul</a>&#8211;which few execs ever do enough of at the start of their tenure, when it is easiest&#8211;there seems to be teeth to the memo too.</p>
<p>And although the burning platform part will get all the attention, perhaps the most important observation was in one particular passage that outlines exactly the giant challenge Nokia faces to catch up:</p>
<blockquote class="memo"><p>The battle of devices has now become a war of ecosystems, where ecosystems include not only the hardware and software of the device, but developers, applications, ecommerce, advertising, search, social applications, location-based services, unified communications and many other things. Our competitors aren&#8217;t taking our market share with devices; they are taking our market share with an entire ecosystem. This means we&#8217;re going to have to decide how we either build, catalyse or join an ecosystem.</p></blockquote>
<p>Because, as it has turned out, it is all about ecosystems and using them to provide consumers with the best and most seamless experience possible.</p>
<p>Walt Mossberg and I will be interviewing Elop&#8211;the former Microsoft exec, who is neither a Nokia insider nor Finnish&#8211;about all this and more at the ninth <strong>D: All Thing Digital</strong> conference in late May.</p>
<p>Obviously, there will be a lot to talk about.</p>
<p>But, until then, here&#8217;s Elop&#8217;s memo below in its entirety.</p>
<p>I also reposted a <a href="http://kara.allthingsd.com/20090403/microsofts-stephen-elop-speaks">video interview I did with Elop in April of 2009</a> in which he talked about making Microsoft a more open and innovative place, the changing business model of software and more.</p>
<p>Also below is a video <a href="http://kara.allthingsd.com/20090814/microsofts-vision-of-the-future-and-the-inevitable-spoof">Elop ordered up</a> while running Microsoft&#8217;s Business Division as part of an <a href="http://www.officelabs.com/Pages/Envisioning.aspx">&#8220;Envisioning&#8221; series</a>.</p>
<p>These see-into-the-future videos were done by <a href="http://www.officelabs.com">Microsoft Office Labs</a> as part of a &#8220;Productivity Future Vision&#8221; series that sketched out a  landscape of smartphones, touchscreens everywhere and a whole lot of cool interacting.</p>
<p>It would be nice if he can drag Nokia back into that world&#8211;although Elop&#8217;s memo is a good start.</p>

<blockquote class="memo"><p>Hello there,</p>
<p>There is a pertinent story about a man who was working on an oil platform in the North Sea. He woke up one night from a loud explosion, which suddenly set his entire oil platform on fire. In mere moments, he was surrounded by flames. Through the smoke and heat, he barely made his way out of the chaos to the platform&#8217;s edge. When he looked down over the edge, all he could see were the dark, cold, foreboding Atlantic waters.</p>
<p>As the fire approached him, the man had mere seconds to react. He could stand on the platform, and inevitably be consumed by the burning flames. Or, he could plunge 30 meters in to the freezing waters. The man was standing upon a &#8220;burning platform,&#8221; and he needed to make a choice.</p>
<p>He decided to jump. It was unexpected. In ordinary circumstances, the man would never consider plunging into icy waters. But these were not ordinary times&#8211;his platform was on fire. The man survived the fall and the waters. After he was rescued, he noted that a &#8220;burning platform&#8221; caused a radical change in his behaviour.</p>
<p>We too, are standing on a &#8220;burning platform,&#8221; and we must decide how we are going to change our behaviour.</p>
<p>Over the past few months, I&#8217;ve shared with you what I&#8217;ve heard from our shareholders, operators, developers, suppliers and from you. Today, I&#8217;m going to share what I&#8217;ve learned and what I have come to believe.</p>
<p>I have learned that we are standing on a burning platform.</p>
<p>And, we have more than one explosion&#8211;we have multiple points of scorching heat that are fuelling a blazing fire around us.</p>
<p>For example, there is intense heat coming from our competitors, more rapidly than we ever expected. Apple disrupted the market by redefining the smartphone and attracting developers to a closed, but very powerful ecosystem.</p>
<p>In 2008, Apple&#8217;s market share in the $300+ price range was 25 percent; by 2010 it escalated to 61 percent. They are enjoying a tremendous growth trajectory with a 78 percent earnings growth year over year in Q4 2010. Apple demonstrated that if designed well, consumers would buy a high-priced phone with a great experience and developers would build applications. They changed the game, and today, Apple owns the high-end range.</p>
<p>And then, there is Android. In about two years, Android created a platform that attracts application developers, service providers and hardware manufacturers. Android came in at the high-end, they are now winning the mid-range, and quickly they are going downstream to phones under €100. Google has become a gravitational force, drawing much of the industry&#8217;s innovation to its core.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s not forget about the low-end price range. In 2008, MediaTek supplied complete reference designs for phone chipsets, which enabled manufacturers in the Shenzhen region of China to produce phones at an unbelievable pace. By some accounts, this ecosystem now produces more than one third of the phones sold globally&#8211;taking share from us in emerging markets.</p>
<p>While competitors poured flames on our market share, what happened at Nokia? We fell behind, we missed big trends, and we lost time. At that time, we thought we were making the right decisions; but, with the benefit of hindsight, we now find ourselves years behind.</p>
<p>The first iPhone shipped in 2007, and we still don&#8217;t have a product that is close to their experience. Android came on the scene just over 2 years ago, and this week they took our leadership position in smartphone volumes. Unbelievable.</p>
<p>We have some brilliant sources of innovation inside Nokia, but we are not bringing it to market fast enough. We thought MeeGo would be a platform for winning high-end smartphones. However, at this rate, by the end of 2011, we might have only one MeeGo product in the market.</p>
<p>At the midrange, we have Symbian. It has proven to be non-competitive in leading markets like North America. Additionally, Symbian is proving to be an increasingly difficult environment in which to develop to meet the continuously expanding consumer requirements, leading to slowness in product development and also creating a disadvantage when we seek to take advantage of new hardware platforms. As a result, if we continue like before, we will get further and further behind, while our competitors advance further and further ahead.</p>
<p>At the lower-end price range, Chinese OEMs are cranking out a device much faster than, as one Nokia employee said only partially in jest, &#8220;the time that it takes us to polish a PowerPoint presentation.&#8221; They are fast, they are cheap, and they are challenging us.</p>
<p>And the truly perplexing aspect is that we&#8217;re not even fighting with the right weapons. We are still too often trying to approach each price range on a device-to-device basis.</p>
<p>The battle of devices has now become a war of ecosystems, where ecosystems include not only the hardware and software of the device, but developers, applications, ecommerce, advertising, search, social applications, location-based services, unified communications and many other things. Our competitors aren&#8217;t taking our market share with devices; they are taking our market share with an entire ecosystem. This means we&#8217;re going to have to decide how we either build, catalyse or join an ecosystem.</p>
<p>This is one of the decisions we need to make. In the meantime, we&#8217;ve lost market share, we&#8217;ve lost mind share and we&#8217;ve lost time.</p>
<p>On Tuesday, Standard &#038; Poor&#8217;s informed that they will put our A long term and A-1 short term ratings on negative credit watch. This is a similar rating action to the one that Moody&#8217;s took last week. Basically it means that during the next few weeks they will make an analysis of Nokia, and decide on a possible credit rating downgrade. Why are these credit agencies contemplating these changes? Because they are concerned about our competitiveness.</p>
<p>Consumer preference for Nokia declined worldwide. In the UK, our brand preference has slipped to 20 percent, which is 8 percent lower than last year. That means only 1 out of 5 people in the UK prefer Nokia to other brands. It&#8217;s also down in the other markets, which are traditionally our strongholds: Russia, Germany, Indonesia, UAE, and on and on and on.</p>
<p>How did we get to this point? Why did we fall behind when the world around us evolved?</p>
<p>This is what I have been trying to understand. I believe at least some of it has been due to our attitude inside Nokia. We poured gasoline on our own burning platform. I believe we have lacked accountability and leadership to align and direct the company through these disruptive times. We had a series of misses. We haven&#8217;t been delivering innovation fast enough. We&#8217;re not collaborating internally.</p>
<p>Nokia, our platform is burning.</p>
<p>We are working on a path forward&#8211;a path to rebuild our market leadership. When we share the new strategy on February 11, it will be a huge effort to transform our company. But, I believe that together, we can face the challenges ahead of us. Together, we can choose to define our future.</p>
<p>The burning platform, upon which the man found himself, caused the man to shift his behaviour, and take a bold and brave step into an uncertain future. He was able to tell his story. Now, we have a great opportunity to do the same.</p>
<p>Stephen.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>AOL&#8217;s strategy to partner with third-party content creators for original programming&#8211;especially premium video content&#8211;keeps ticking, with another partnership, this time with Endemol USA.</p>
<p>The New York-based Internet company said it would &#8220;co-develop and co-produce new Web programming initially aimed at AOL&#8217;s growing women&#8217;s audience&#8221; with Endemol.</p>
<p><a href="http://kara.allthingsd.com/files/2011/01/jerseylicious.jpeg"><img src="http://kara.allthingsd.com/files/2011/01/jerseylicious-275x220.jpg" alt="" title="jerseylicious" width="275" height="220" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-39484" /></a></p>
<p>Endemol makes television shows, such as &#8220;Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,&#8221; &#8220;Big Brother,&#8221; &#8220;Wipeout” and &#8220;Jerseylicious,&#8221; as well as Web series &#8220;Married On My Space 1 &#038; 2&#8243; and &#8220;Coupon Mom.&#8221;</p>
<p>AOL is working on several other content partnerships, said sources, to add to its previous ones.</p>
<p>AOL said the first two &#8220;built-if-sold&#8221;&#8211;meaning some big advertiser has to pony up&#8211;will be:</p>
<p>&#8220;Re-Dressed by America&#8221;: An interactive Web series where online users make over subjects facing a life-changing event (high school reunions, first dates, etc.) by voting on their hairstyles, fashion, accessories and more. The series will be featured on Stylelist.com and MyDaily.com.</p>
<p>&#8220;Mamá&#8217;s Recipe&#8221;: U.S. families compete for the best family recipes and share their secrets with the AOL audience. The series will be featured on KitchenDaily and AOL Latino.</p>
<p>Not exactly &#8220;The Sopranos,&#8221; but there you have it.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the full press release from AOL:</p>
<blockquote class="memo"><p><strong>AOL INC. AND ENDEMOL USA ANNOUNCE WEB PROGRAMMING PRODUCTION PARTNERSHIP</p>
<p>Agreement Further Expands AOL’s Original Video Offerings</p>
<p>New York, NY&#8211;January 12. 2011&#8211;</strong> AOL Inc. (NYSE: AOL) and Endemol USA today announced a production agreement to co-develop and co-produce new Web programming initially aimed at AOL&#8217;s growing women&#8217;s audience, as well as at the broader AOL audience. The partnership will focus on creating premium, unscripted digital video content that will enhance the user experience by taking advantage of the real time, interactive and community nature of the Web.</p>
<p>&#8220;Endemol is a premiere producer of unscripted programming and their expertise in creating unique, interactive, popular shows, combined with AOL&#8217;s growing video audience will take digital production to the next level,&#8221; said David Eun, President of AOL Media &#038; Studios. &#8220;Endemol is the latest in a string of partnerships that serve both the AOL consumers and our advertising partners.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We are thrilled to partner with such a successful and global leading company like AOL,&#8221; said David Goldberg, Chairman of Endemol North America. &#8220;This deal continues our growth as a leader in interactive digital entertainment, and we look forward to creating many genre-defining series with AOL.&#8221;</p>
<p>The first two built-if-sold series to be produced under the new agreement are:</p>
<p>&#8220;Re-Dressed By America&#8221;: An interactive web series where online users make over subjects facing a life-changing event (high school reunions, first dates, etc.) by voting on their hairstyles, fashion, accessories and more. The series will be featured on Stylelist.com and MyDaily.com.</p>
<p>&#8220;Mamá&#8217;s Recipe&#8221;: US families compete for the best family recipes and share their secrets with the AOL audience. The series will be featured on KitchenDaily (http://www.kitchendaily.com) and AOL Latino (http://latino.aol.com/).</p>
<p>AOL will promote each Web series throughout the AOL Network focusing on the sites and destinations relevant for each series&#8217; demographic. Every series produced through this partnership will feature enhanced online programming, such as user voting, supplemental video clips and supporting blog content to create deeper user experiences, and opportunities for sponsors to integrate their messaging in creative and highly-engaging ways.</p>
<p>Endemol USA, one of the world&#8217;s leading producers of entertainment programming, will leverage its experience producing hit shows such as Emmy-award winning &#8220;Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,&#8221; &#8220;Big Brother,&#8221; &#8220;Wipeout” and &#8220;Jerseylicious,&#8221; as well as the hit Web series &#8220;Married On My Space 1 &#038; 2&#8243; and &#8220;Coupon Mom&#8221; to create captivating Web series with AOL.</p>
<p>&#8220;You&#8217;ve Got…&#8221; the video series that debuted with the new AOL.com launch, generated nearly 8 million views in its first month, and featured a diverse guest list including Kelly Ripa, Barack Obama, Matt Damon and the Marines in Afghanistan. For comparison, that puts &#8220;You’ve Got…&#8221; on-pace with a top 10 Web series. Overall, video views on the new AOL.com rose more than 3X in its first month.</p></blockquote>

<p>There are certainly a lot of movie trailers on the Web, but this one made its first appearance on the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/VinDiesel">Facebook fan page</a> of its meaty star.</p>
<p>That would be action star Vin Diesel, who is the star of the &#8220;Fast and Furious&#8221; car thief series and has&#8211;no, <em>really</em>, including BoomTown&#8211;20 million fans on the social networking site. Obviously, that&#8217;s why the promo for the latest sequel, &#8220;Fast Five,&#8221; made its debut there.</p>
<p>Also, it is a rocking trailer, so enjoy:</p>

<p>BoomTown is a big fan of Lisa Kudrow&#8217;s Internet-only series, &#8220;Web Therapy.&#8221;</p>
<p>In the all-improv three-minute episodes, the former &#8220;Friends&#8221; star channels a prickly and decidedly odd therapist named Fiona Wallice, who does her sessions via online video chat.</p>
<p>It is destined to be a cable television show, but, so far, Kudrow has managed to attract a spate of celebrities to &#8220;Web Therapy.&#8221;</p>
<p>And she scored big tonight in the third-season premiere, with a guest appearance by Meryl Streep.</p>
<p>She plays Camilla Bowner, a sexual-orientation therapist.</p>
<p>The pair are, needless to say, a match made in Web heaven.</p>
<p>Here is a preview of the show, which posts in its entirety later today:</p>

So, we could not be more thrilled to announce the hiring of Ina Fried as a new reporter and blogger, covering the critically important mobile beat.

Make no mistake: Mobile is a beat that reaches across companies and is at the dead center of Web 3.0.

<p>Here at <strong>All Things Digital</strong>, we&#8217;ve always prided ourselves on our journalism efforts, while also fully embracing the fast-paced new world of blogging.</p>
<p>So, we could not be more thrilled to announce the hiring of Ina Fried as our new reporter and blogger, covering the critically important mobile beat. She is pictured here.</p>
<p>Her new beat will range from wireless carriers like AT&#038;T; to handset makers, such as Nokia and Research in Motion; to the smartphone kingpins, Google and Apple.</p>
<p>And if Facebook ever <em>does</em> make a phone, Ina will surely have the scoop.</p>
<p>Mobile is a beat that reaches across companies and is at the dead center of Web 3.0.</p>
<p>Ina is one of several new journalists we will be announcing over the next week, part of an expansion of the <strong>ATD</strong> universe. That includes a recently announced new conference series, beginning with <a href="http://kara.allthingsd.com/20101013/d-all-things-digital-goes-plural-with-new-d-dive-into-mobile-conference"><strong>D: Dive Into Mobile</strong></a>.</p>
<p>There is much more to come, but let&#8217;s focus on the stylings of Ina first.</p>
<p>As most people know, she has been at CNET for the past 10 years, most recently covering Microsoft as a senior writer.</p>
<p>And although she hasn&#8217;t been focused solely on mobile, Ina has been covering the area since 2000, when folks like Kyocera were trying to shove a Palm Pilot and a phone together, most recently doing a behind-the-scenes series for CNET on the birth of Windows Phone 7.</p>
<p>During her time at the tech news site, she also covered Apple for four years and led CNET&#8217;s coverage of the Hewlett-Packard-Compaq merger, as well as covering all manner of gadgets from the Palm Pilot to the Audrey (I have no idea what that is, but Walt Mossberg does).</p>
<p>Before that, she covered the chip industry for financial wire service Bridge News and also worked at the Orange Country Register and Orange County Business Journal.</p>
<p>She&#8217;s a graduate of Miami University (she reminds me that&#8217;s the one in Ohio not Florida, pointing out they are better at ice hockey than football.)</p>
<p>Beyond breaking all kinds of stories on the Microsoft beat, Ina has closely followed Bill Gates in his shift from software titan to global philanthropist, interviewing him frequently and tagging along on his college speaking tour earlier this year. (Last week she published separate interviews with Gates and Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer on the same day.)</p>
<p>Ina also traveled to Brazil and Colombia to explore the <a href="http://news.cnet.com/Brazil-Tech-powerhouse,-but-gap-remains/2009-1042_3-6245327.html">impact of computing in emerging markets</a>.</p>
<p>She&#8217;s a former vice president of the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association and has won a number of journalism awards, including some that she says would be seriously dangerous during an earthquake.</p>
<p>For example, she was named three times as one of the top 30 financial journalists under 30 by TJFR and has also been honored by the Society of Professional Journalists and Western Publishers Association, among others.</p>
<p>A huge softball fanatic, part of the reason she won&#8217;t start at <strong>ATD</strong> until late November is that her women&#8217;s softball team is headed to the gay softball World Series in Las Vegas (I wonder if Audrey is going).</p>
<p>In the meantime, you can keep up to date with Ina by following her on Twitter at <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/inafried">Twitter.com/inafried</a>.</p>
