But "microformat" is not just a fancy name or trademark — it’s part of a much bigger picture. So, what are microformats?

It’s no secret that the net is a multi-headed hydra of piracy . When a video gets taken down place, it often pops up somewhere else. P2P applications, torrenting, and news groups have long served up copyrighted content to those in the know.
Sometimes DMCA notices are respected, other times companies get sued into oblivion (e.g Napster). CozyBug: The eBay for Big Stuff. CozyBug launched today.
It is best summed up as an eBay for big stuff. It’s meant for large items that people often sell locally because they’re too big to ship or are used and need in person inspection. Sellers get a mini virtual web storefront, and have the option to advertise their storefronts throughout the site. The site doesn’t support shipping goods and is meant to replace local business classified advertising. WeShow: Human Powered Video Directory. New York based human-powered online video guide WeShow launched today.

The amount of funding has not been previously disclosed but is believed to be around $5-7million. WeShow brings an editorial approach to selecting and organizing the best online videos available from sites such as YouTube, DailyMotion, Metacafe, Google Video and others. Moo’s Got Stickers. UK-based Moo, a startup that prints “mini cards” from photos and other images that you upload directly or point them to via Flickr, Bebo, or their other partners, has been a real hit among the early adopter, silicon valley crowd.
People hand them out like crazy, and they are great, if somewhat expensive, conversation starters. Next week the company will expand beyond cards and into stickers, which I predict will be even more popular than the cards. LinkedIn Traffic Up, But Is It Enough? The latest figures released by Hitwise indicate that traffic to LinkedIn is up 323% in the last year and 17% in the last week alone.
It’s a healthy rise, and something LinkedIn should be pleased with, however the real question becomes: is this growth high enough given the rising popularity of Facebook as the social networking destination of choice? The comScore figures speak for themselves: The natural reaction by some will be to argue that comparing LinkedIn to Facebook is like comparing Apples and Oranges, and in part that is true. Live P2P Television: Streaming Now. The demonstration of Microsoft’s LiveStation last week shone the spotlight back on the live P2P television market.
Whilst P2P on-demand video participants such as Joost and Bablegum gain the most attention in the broader market, the live television streaming market (ie: not on demand like Joost, not user generated cam sites such as Ustream) has continued to thrive in relative obscurity. Here’s a quick look at some of the bigger players. The newest competitor and still in private beta testing. Will The Last Corporation Leaving Second Life Please Turn Off The Light. The LA Times has an interesting article up on the failure of real life businesses in Second Life.
The crux of the piece is that despite the hype, real life businesses are closing down their Second Life outposts due to little to no interest in them. The reasons for the failures are open to debate; from firms not engaging Second Life citizens, through to simply a lack of actual people using Second Life (the LA Times says it peaks at 40,000 users at any one given time). Wagner James Au at GigaOm has a set of figures worth looking at. In defending Second Life, Au notes that the visitor rate to corporate installations on Second Life is 0.8-2% vs a CTR rate on standard web advertisements on 0.5-1%. How To Raise Money From VCs.

The “Secondary Liability” Theory on YouTube/iPhone. CNET found someone to complain that the copyright on their content is being infringed by YouTube, and speculates that Apple may have liability too because they are showing YouTube videos on the iPhone. While copyrighted material can certainly be found on YouTube, winning a case against them for copyright infringement is much harder than it looks. YouTube is protected by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act which, among other things, protects sites like YouTube from the actions of its users.
Copyright holders are left with filing a notice with YouTube to pull their content down (which they will do), or trying to prove that YouTube moved outside of the safe harbor under the Act.
