YouTube vs. Spotify vs. Apple Music in a Three Way Fight for Market Share in Streaming Music

Public demand has reached an all-time high for streaming music services. Recently, reports have surfaced showing how much each streaming service is paying artists. First, I want to note that it costs a lot of money to build, maintain and store servers that data is kept on for each company. When you download videos in comparison to songs, you will see a major difference in file size. That file size for one song or video is multiplied when we take in consideration how many people are using and uploading content. My solution to the music streaming service is creating

Google has launched a website titled WebVR Experiments to help manage and showcase the latest open source virtual reality projects on the Internet with JavaScript. In an era of decentralized products and technology, producing interactive projects on the Web can be difficult with the limitations set by browsers and digital devices. Google has launched a platform that uses JavaScript as the core coding language. WebVR Experiments has a selection of games, interactive media, and film projects to review. The Musical Forest is an interactive music-based VR project. Google Creative Lab produced this project, but I had seen a project

Editorial: Breaking The Fourth Wall with YouTube

The term known as the 'Fourth Wall' is defined as the space that separates a performer or performance from an audience. As a media outlet, media producer, media buyer, media manager, and media consumer I wear several hats when producing original material. In a recent CNBC article, I found out that Spotify will pay producers $7.00 per thousand plays on their platform in comparison to YouTube's $1.00 per thousand plays. When I look at it on a direct comparison I see a major inequality. When I take it a step further, Fortune reported in December 2016 that Spotify is on track to

Google and YouTube are in hot water over questionable content that is connected to international advertising companies such as AT&T, Verizon and Enterprise. The Wall Street Journal reported today that PepsiCo, Wal-Mart, Dish Network have stated they are suspending Google non-search ads. Google and YouTube made a statement covering their safeguards: Safer default for brands. We’re changing the default settings for ads so that they show on content that meets a higher level of brand safety and excludes potentially objectionable content that advertisers may prefer not to advertise against. Brands can opt in to advertise on broader types of content if they choose.

Microsoft, Oracle and Google Compete with Amazon Web Services for Cloud Computing Services

Four of the largest tech companies, Google, Microsoft, Oracle, and Amazon continue to expand their cloud computing services and products. The competition is so intense, Google has a calculator on their cloud service website to compare prices with Amazon Web Services. It is smart business, as well as giving AWS an indirect plug. I suggest a company develop a website, like Orbitz for cloud computing, that displays the different companies, services, products, and prices in an organizable fashion. The website RightScale, is currently doing something similar to this idea. RightScale has a breakdown of their top four companies including: AWS,

YouTube Therapy for Physical and Mental Health

By |March 18th, 2017|Categories: Entertainment, Featured, Film News, Google, Health, National News, Pop Culture, World News, YouTube|Tags: , , , , , , |

YouTube, a company owned by Google, has no timeline for profitability. Despite not turning a profit as a business, they have created a widely known platform to produce and consume content on. Susan Wojcicki, CEO of YouTube, spoke at the Fortune Most Powerful Women summit in Laguna Niguel, California in mid October 2016. "We are still in investment mode." Susan Wojcicki YouTube was founded in 2005, and twelve years later the company is still in investment mode. That is impressive for a long-term plan. As for a short-term investment, I see YouTube to have already provided payback in several avenues. One
