@pcosta5 @anzBrightcove Easy mistake to make, sad to say. Sydney winter is a far cry from Boston’s!
Average adult attention span now just 7 seconds. Goldfish’s is 9 seconds. Well aware of irony as I tweet this during #PLAYSYD.
@pyko Down from 12 ten years ago. Our brains are broken.
Kicking off the user experience track at #PLAYSYD. Very excited for @AndrewMamo to talk about @9jumpin! http://t.co/T8aRGCJjwU
1 in 4 online Australians are watching catch-up TV, but still consuming 3 hrs of broadcast a day. #PLAYSYD
Which devices will matter in the future? Using Olympics timeline to show progression of tech. iPads didn’t even exist at Beijing. #PLAYSYD
Traditional TV is very hard to beat in terms of the “lean back” experience. #PLAYSYD
Tech drives changes & new patterns of user behaviour. DVDs led to binge watching. YouTube changing celebrity culture. @AndrewMamo #PLAYSYD
Some attendees are concerned with how media companies will anonymise and protect user data. Good question. #PLAYSYD
RT @sutho: HTML5 video has surpassed flash with supported users. Demo showed HTmL5 loading in 2.8ms Vs 446ms for flash version. Goodby Flas…
Switching over to the technical track at #PLAYSYD. I’m caffeinated and ready to learn about transcoding!
@codepo8 Was talking to Craig Penfold and some of the Yahoos today. Reminisced about your visit many years ago!
Whoa. YouTube transcodes to ~150 different renditions?! I did not know that. #PLAYSYD
Horizontal scaling is vital for transcoding videos. “Essentially the poster child for using cloud services like EC2.” #PLAYSYD
Using clips from Silicon Valley to illustrate different codecs. Heh. #PLAYSYD
@damana Hey – I think I just missed you!
@damana Haha, James is telling me about it right now. 🙂
Crappy afternoon, but the arrival of my replacement @TheFryeCompany boots cheered me right up! #lovethem #kickass http://t.co/lqvuD49G8N
Shit. Shit. One grandad died last night; another had a heart attack and is now failing. Might have to fly to US. Getting drunk.
Dad says not to come. Grandma knows how difficult it is. Really hard not to reply with cuss words.
@eobeara I find that unbelievable. You are by far the healthiest Irish person I’ve ever met!
Mr Snook is cheering me with a spirited improv based on a slip of the tongue: Bruce Bolton, flayer of men and warden of the f**king North!
.@Buddytruk But I used a local car share app on my phone to book a van. And are you in Australia? Or just spamming the world? #fail
@Buddytruk Easy peasy. @GOGET is the best. And they’ve got partnerships so they ARE international!
