Moving Update…

Ethan Bloch — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 19:26:56 +0000

We are happy to announce that as of August 5th, we will have officially moved to SF!

Over the past month and half I have been scouting San Francisco to serve as our new headquarters, and this is one of the reasons why new productions and postings have been extremely light.

Furthermore, we have been slammed with putting together our Fall Production Schedule. All I have to say is that we got some ridiculously exciting things happening right around the corner, and we are pumped up to, borrowing from Gary V., bring the THUNDER!!!

Full Speed Ahead

Ethan Bloch — Thu, 08 May 2008 22:45:47 +0000

The past 2 weeks have been quite light for openSermo productions. I could conjure up many excuses [ie. Graduation], but none of them make up for the fact we have let our community down. That being said, it should be noted we are now ‘Full Speed Ahead’ with upcoming productions. You should see a minimum of 3 WSYK’s per week and a few other special episodes as well as some In A Nutshell’s.

We do however hope you’ve been enjoying our published stream of News 2.0 from all over the internetz; it’s some of the best there is and we pledge to continue to find this great content and serve it up, only at openSermo.com.

Light Posting, Traveling

Ethan Bloch — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 06:01:27 +0000

I am traveling this week and new openSermo production’s are going to be a bit light, until at least Tuesday. Definitely expect some face-to-face’s and of course videos from the internet’s best citizen journalists. Extremely sorry for the hiccup. We will be making up for it 10 fold in the following weeks. That’s a promise!

WSYK Has Landed

Ethan Bloch — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 02:16:33 +0000

WSYK? What Should You Know, is a new broadcast hosted by Ethan Bloch, that will be produced throughout the week. The purpose is the same as with all of our other broadcasts: to educate and inform in an unconventional way.

And with WSYK, I think we’re definitely executing on this mission. It’s brash, to the point and informative. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

It should be noted that we got the inspiration for this show from our friend Clarence aka. DYKC, check’em out. First episode embedded below.

Leah Culver Asks A Solid Question

Ethan Bloch — Sat, 15 Mar 2008 21:13:46 +0000

During ‘Considerations for Scalabale Web Ventures‘ Leah Culver of Pownce asked a good question: Where to expect bottlenecks in your applications? She got a solid response from Joe Stump of Digg and a no wit spared answer from Cal Henderson of Flickr: “Under linux, DF will tell you how much space you have left…” Video clip posted below.

Check out this video, which was taken at the Facebook friends.get Party
Not only did they have these video monitors going, the entire place was decked out in facebook paraphernalia.

They also had black macbook’s setup with facebook.com loaded; which was also set as the only accessible website.

Even the bartenders were decked out.

Got to the party around 1:00am after leaving the NextNewNetworks party.

Full details of this evening can be found here.
