This is one of the first times you've visited my personal blog. Welcome! You may want to subscribe to my RSS feed to keep in touch. I look forward to your comments! Just wrote an article for The Next Web about VIDDIX, a new service that combines video and web content. Your video is playing at the left, while web content is popping up at the right. Where YouTube and Slideshare end, VIDDIX is just about to get started. Co-founder Sébastien Willems interviewed me to test his service. Unfortunately it’s in Dutch, so only you Dutchies out there are able to understand the interview. Don’t worry though, the service itself is way more important. I think it has the potential to become a big success. Read here why. [...] [...] Hi! This is one of the first times you’ve visited my personal blog. Welcome!

I just don't think that the current state of the art represents a revolution in any way. I was on a project proposal meeting with some people from INSEAD this week, and I showcased them the VIDDIX technology. They were quite positive about it, and we might even consider inviting VIDDIX in some way to a European project we are preparing with INSEAD (2009 FP7 ICT Call 4: Intelligent Content and Semantics). It was mainly the overenthusiastic tone and powerspeak in the article/title that upset me a bit. I have all RSS feeds from The Next Web coming in my reader, and I enjoy your posts, but I prefer to become enthusiastic (or not) myself, based on an objective account. VIDDIX could have potential, but I don't see it becoming a revolution in the current constellation (a blogger's tool). So I'm agreeing with Edo's point of view on this one: "Great idea! I am not sure if their business model is sound enough to make money, but it is a great service." @ Ernst-Jan Pfauth,

But I guess that was a custom job or something. They use an overlay there (obviously needed since the player + content is pretty widescreeny). http://www.frankwatching.com/archive/2008/02/26/viddix-video-20/ Well, the embedding at Frankwatching.com, where they did a demo, looks fine actually.

It wouldn't surprise me if this is going to be the standard in video presentations, I'll definitely give it a try in the very near future. Looks like a really neat app!

Sorry to hear that you think I'm helping out friends on this blog. What strikes me the most though, is that you aren't enthusiastic about the idea of VIDDIX. Please enlighten us and share your doubts. @1234gybotf, thanks for your comment. Sorry to hear that you think I’m helping out friends on this blog.

It is the simple tool that is missing from the web and for presentations there is nothing like it. I give this a big thumbs up. Incidentally I made something like this a few years ago for property advertising, but it was for a niche site not an open platform. http://www.a-place-in-the-sun.com/video-tour/play-video.php?op=Seevideo&id=61 I also made another site which for the art niche and again uses some similar ideas, albeit without the video add on. http://www.documentary-art.net/ I must say I really think this sort of thing is the way forward and I really wish you guys well with this idea. In all the time I have played on the edges, I never thought of doing the 'obvious' (people often claim it as obvious after the fact but we know it never is prior). 10 Marks.
