NBC to use Olympics as research lab for new media viewership
http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080707-nbc-to-use-olympics-as-research-lab-for-new-media-viewership.html
How we watch this summer's Olympic Games could significantly shape the
future of online and on-demand video, and NBC knows it. The network
plans to track viewership of the Games on broadcast and cable TV as in
past years, but this time around will also closely track online and
mobile users. The network is referring to the Olympics as a
"billion-dollar research lab" and hopes that the data it compiles will
help give ita€"and advertisersa€"a better idea of how we consume its
content.

Get Your Two Cents Into Videos With YouTube 'Annotations'
http://blog.wired.com/underwire/2008/06/add-links-custo.html
YouTube videos just got a little lippier, thanks to a brand new set of
features dubbed "annotations." Content creators can now mod their
videos with clickable links and chat bubbles -- handy for plugging in
quick facts, subtitles, key points, background info and links to
related videos and websites. All cool enough, but the most intriguing
tweak by far is the newfound ability to slip in links to different
YouTube videos, to create interactive "choose your own adventure"
style narratives.
