Bosnia and Back Again, my latest video, is off to a strong start — it’s gotten at least 86,323 views (up from somewhere between 36,697 and 66,064 view when I first wrote this post) and is currently the #2 top rated video in YouTube’s news & politics category, and #5 #8 overall. It’s also generating buzz on the web — over at The Nation, Ari Melber calls it a “devastating” video. Reddit currently has Ari’s post as its #1 feature. Andrew Sullivan posted it under the headline: “No One Left To Lie To.” And of course AMERICAblog, The Field, and the Daily Kos community helped it get off the ground.

Despite that strong positive reaction, shortly after the video was posted on Digg, some (presumably pro-Clinton) digg users buried the video, despite getting over 300 Diggs. So it seems pretty clear that someone doesn’t want people to see this video.

What can you do about this? Well, someone has set up a new digg to Andrew Sullivan’s post about the video. Please digg that story. E-mail the video to friends, post it on your blog, and in comments. Go to reddit, StumbleUpon, and other sharing sites — and rate it up. Help get this video in front of as many people as possible! It’s free — and you can make an impact.

A few days ago, Trulia, the real estate search engine, announced their integration with Google Streetview to bring a whole new level of detail to property tours online.  Currently, listings in 30 US cities are currently offered with a side dish of SteetView, and more material is to be added in real-time as it is captured.

This, though, is just a slice of what’s available with Trulia.  To be honest, Trulia had escaped my personal radar of Web 2.0’s I keep my eye on.  I imagine this has something to do with the fact that I worked in real estate related business for a number of years and burned out on them, combine with the fact that the search sector isn’t my favorite sexy area of web technology.

Despite this, and given my experience in both areas, I’m keenly aware of how profitable these fields can be if gone about the right way. I got a chance to sit down with Trulia CEO Pete Flint, and they definitely seem to be going about things in the right way, having achieved the level of largest real estate search engine, providing a number of social and search tools to their users.

They’re not the type of organization that just slaps in messaging and a couple of vampire vs. zombie applications and call themselves social.  They’ve thought out the bits and pieces of real estate utility that should remain social, and those that should remain anonymous, and those that can simply be served by search.

Additionally, they’ve got a number of API and webmaster utilities - and by the end of our conversation, I had arrived at the realization that a number of web design firms I knew could be cutting down a lot of their workload by using the Trulia API than trying to work with the hundreds of disparate real estate MLS systems that are in existence out there.

Remember MeeVee?  That was the TV Guide-like company that we got the hot tip on was in the midst of massive layoffs? Turns out now that they’re in the middle of acquisition talks.

That’s what the BusinessWire headline says, at any rate.  If you read into the press release, it is basically a note begging someone, anyone, to buy MeeVee:

 Accordingly, MeeVee is engaged in multiple discussions with potential acquirers that provide the greatest long term upside and synergy. Interested parties should contact Steve Hughey (shughey@meevee.com) for more information.

It’s not surprising to see the property up for sale, but what do you get, should you engage in the buying opportunity? Well, we’ve profiled MeeVee a number of times in the recent past, and it is a essentially an entertainment review site that also serves as a portal to major label and studio content online. At one time, they boasted a huge amount of inbound traffic, but as we discovered in February that dropped starkly in August of 2007.

So is it a good deal?  It all depends.  MeeVee has a number of existing relationships with studios, and a fully functional and built out set of content.  It all depends on the price.  In their release, they loudly trumpeted their stats from March of 2007, and that they were in fact for sale, but not what the price range is.

Red is often associated with feistiness, and bold anger, while a pale blue typically evokes a calmer feeling of a soothed soul. Colors can mean different things for different people, but it’s been a long-standing fact that colors are often aligned with certain feelings we have as humans. Color-coding feelings isn’t an exact science, but it’s a somewhat universal perspective on cataloging anything, including photos and music.

Most forms of media also have an emotional component, so why not combine colors and music? Guitarati is doing just that, and it’s using colors as its starting point towards helping you find the music you’re looking for (see Paul’s insightful, initial coverage here). Instead of a text-laden tag cloud, you’re immediately greeted with a screen full of colored circles, some bigger than others, just as with any other tag cloud.

Click on which ever color is the most appealing to you at the moment, and Guitarati will provide a list of search results that are within this color range. From there, you can modify your search by sliding up or down on the color scale, and then choosing by genre.

While colors are fun, and color-coded music search is an interesting spin on the over-crowded online music space, Guitarati is taking a search feature and applying it to a self-contained music commerce site where bands, promoters and managers can upload their own content, set a price and earn revenue from music sales and streaming songs.

Without the presence of major music artists from prominent labels, Guitarati is limited in its ability to provide a lasting search tool that’s ubiquitous across the music industry. Moreover, Guitarati hasn’t yet applied its color-coded system to recommendations across the site, in order to aid users in their search and discovery or the promotion of artists.

Months after a $13.5 million round of funding, mobile social network mig33 is announcing a new member to its executive team. Former venture partner at Accel Partners, veteran entrepreneur and executive and current CEO of The Entrepreneurs Group Richard Yanowitch has experience in several aspects of leading a technology-related company.

As mig33’s latest member of the Board of Directors, Yanowitch is joining as an independent director. Yanowitch has also been advising mig33 since it launched its US segment as well, back in September. mig33 has had a couple of key advancements in the past few months, and such development was a driving factor for Yanowitch in deciding to shift from an advisory role to a seat on the Board of Directors.

The hope is to turn mig33 into a large-scale venture, with a guiding hand from Yanowitch. With about 11 million users worldwide, mig33 has been experiencing some rapid growth in the past year or so. No exact details have been given in terms of mig33’s plans for the immediate or long-term future, but it’s likely that mig33 is looking to increase its marketing efforts, mobile advertising and becoming an even more attractive acquisition target are some of the items on the company’s short list of things to do for 2008.
