Tubemogul – PlayTime Now targeted ad program for youtube

For several years we (akirawing) (eyepatchentertainmen) have tracked our youtube channel performance with TubeMogul.com

Today they have announced Playtime which allows advertisers to “buy in-stream video ads on YouTube in real-time selecting specific publishers from a list of thousands of YouTube Partners, including top media companies, new media outlets and hit shows unique to YouTube.”

What is great about this that advertisers will have more tools to help bring even more focused and relevant advertising to our channels.

For our subscribers this means more detailed and focused equipment reviews which are at least partly subsidized by our youtube revenue.

iPhone 4 Commercial ft. Morgan Freeman

Following the success of the original iPhone commercial released in August 2009, we created a new spot based on all of the features that are available with jailbreaking the new iPhone 4. This includes using “Display Out” and the variable functionality of BT Stack to use Bluetooth devices like Wiimotes and keyboards to extend features that are not implemented well with just a touch screen. Another objective of the spot was to give light to the iPhodroid project witch allows android to run on the 3G, and can currently be used to hack PS3’s with version 3.41 firmware. Akira created a hilarious “iPhone” song for the commercial and impersonated the voice of Morgan Freeman to lend a familiar tone to the spec commercial.
