rockstartup v3

I just finished checking out the third episode of RockStartup, the controversial new "reality" show about the startup and growth of PayPerPost. This is like video blogging on steroids, with a soundtrack and more.

In this episode, they are moving into their new office. The first obstacle they run into is no internet service, which (for an internet company) is pretty crippling. The construction workers are hard at work, and the PPP employees seem pretty excited about the vibrant colors, which look to me like they match PPP's logo. I'm not sure that the video really shows the pain of moving into a new office, as the time seems to fly by pretty quickly - one slight downside to video blogging, I suppose. In reality, Ted seems to be pulling his hair out, waiting for things to be ready, and yelling at the occasional construction worker for standing on a $700 office chair instead of bringing their own ladders. LOL.

It will be interesting to see if things get to the point where PPP opportunities require video ads on blogs only. I don't think we're very close to being there, but the more adventurous advertisers seem to be open to the idea, and are willing to pay a bit more for it.

Anyways, please feel free to watch it for yourself. This is my first attempt at embedding a video from Youtube, so I hope that it works...
