SHOW #033 - NerdBoyTV Broadcast: March 31, 2008

In this episode of NerdBoyTV, Ryan Yee introduces Yahoo's new "Shine" site for women, a review of Adobe's new Photoshop Express (beta), YouTube's new video stats that provides a range of metrics for people who post videos on the site, and Dory Devlin poses the question should we "connect or disconnect?"



Yahoo hopes to 'Shine' with advertisers on new Women's site - CNN.com: "Yahoo Inc. on Monday launched a site for women between ages 25 and 54, calling it a key demographic underserved by current Yahoo properties. Yahoo hopes their new site will allow them to cash in with advertisers who are targeting a key spending demographic. The site, Shine, is aimed largely at giving the struggling Internet company additional opportunities to sell advertising targeted to the key decision-maker in many households."

Adobe - Photoshop Express (beta): "You shot it — now do something to it. Make it pop. Make it impossible to ignore. Upload, sort, polish, and store up to 2GB of photos. All for free. Resize, tint, distort, and more — add your mark to all your images. Then show them off on Adobe Photoshop Express or your Facebook page."

YouTube stats revealed Webware : Cool Web apps for everyone: "YouTube has just announced the newest addition to its video service. It's called YouTube Insights and it allows content publishers, partners, and advertisers to see detailed statistical data for their videos. Metrics that the service provides include geographic viewing and relative popularity."

To disconnect or not to disconnect : Dory Devlin : Yahoo! Tech: "If you find yourself responding in the most Pavlovian way to the little beep that tells you you've got an email that you surely don't have to read at 3 p.m. on a Saturday, you'll be as impressed by the New York Times' Mark Bittman's commitment to disconnect from everything one day a week. That includes TV and his landline phone."
