Chopping Up Truth In Media Since 2009
… Ben Silverman doesn’t. He really thinks he gets it but we know he doesn’t – and I seriously doubt Mob Wives will get him to the Promise Land of creating a next generation media business model.
But LEO LAPORTE (founder and chief guru of twit.tv – or This Week In Technology) GETS IT!
Please watch this 40 minute speech (which I previously posted in October 2009 – but I think deserves a second look) he gave to the Online News Association and you’ll see what I mean.

Apparently there is a new movie coming out called “Electus” and it looks like it stars Ben Silverman.
This afternoon, I thought I would do a little checking up on Ben’s $100 million dollar company and discovered that, unlike the way the website looked a month ago, there is actually some content now.
Content starring Ben Silverman.
The content is a $100 million dollar sizzle reel with flying headlines glorifying the accomplishments of… Ben Silverman.
I stared at the video, with its horrible techno-pop / Eurotrash soundtrack (though fitting), in amazement. Is this what revolution looks like?
I then went to the other page (yes, there is one other page on the site, you can’t expect too much in one year) and discovered a chart.
A chart that even a freakin’ moron can understand.
How can something that looks so simple (so elegant) and so “old media” change the world in such a profound way?
I’m still trying to process how great it all is.
I’m seriously at a loss for words.
There is only one person on the planet that knows what the future of media looks like. His name is Ben Silverman but he can’t talk right now – he has an early morning call on the set of another sizzle reel he is starring in titled “Managing Expectations”.
