Talks between Pact, the indies' trade body, and leading broadcasters are taking place in a bid to reach agreement by next year. The interests of broadcasters and independent producers rarely dovetail, but the gap appears to be worsening just at a point when a fresh modus vivendi is needed - by next year, when internet-enabled television is expected to bring about a fragmented online world. Broadcasters and independent producers want to control more of the programme content and secondary rights, especially in a market in which DVD sales are waning. Broadcasters are dealing with the negotiations in different ways but all of them want change. Fresh look. Gapminder: Unveiling the beauty of statistics for a fact based world view.

Read more about this technique and how it’s being used by brands after the jump. A couple of months ago I was picking my mom up from Union Station in Washington, DC. While waiting for her train to arrive I sat outside the train station and noticed that video was being projected across the entire front of the building. Union Station was transformed into the Wild West, a mountain scene and a brick building right before my eyes.

Eventbrite iPhone app now lets organizers scan ticket barcodes. Eventbrite has updated its Easy Entry iPhone app with a smart feature: barcode scanning. People have become more accustomed to having ticket collectors scan their tickets, so scanning of a barcode on a printed out Eventbrite ticket makes complete sense and will help to move entry lines faster. The new version of the app also displays the attendee’s email, ticket type (i.e. student, press, etc) and payment method under the attendee’s name once they have been checked in. Also, organizers can still look up attendees through the app through searching names or by scanning a list (which is how the previous app worked), and the app also offers settings for repeating events. Obviously, this is more of an issue for large, paying events then for the multitude of smaller, often free, events that Eventbrite also serves, but if you use Eventbrite, having multiple Eventbrite enabled devices that sync is helpful, regardless of what other technologies exist.
