How to broadcast on Concert Window
With Concert Window, we're making it easy for musicians to do live webshows. Here's how it works.
Option 1 (easiest): Play right into your laptop. Use the built-in camera and microphone. Before the show, do a test broadcast (there's a link on your Artist Dashboard) to get situated and make sure the sound is coming through at a good volume. You may need to adjust the input volume on your computer's "Sound" or "System Preferences" control panel.
Option 2 (for higher quality): Connect a USB camera and/or microphone to your laptop. This will give you higher quality video and audio, especially if more than one person is performing. Our broadcasting software will automatically detect the inputs. We recommend the following gear:
Logitech HD Pro Webcam ($75) High-quality, all-purpose USB webcam.
Snowball USB Microphone by Blue ($58) Excellent all-purpose microphone, especially good for music
Alternatively you can plug in a USB audio interface (like the Focusrite Scarlett, $149.95) and from there, your microphone of choice. Zoom H4 recorders ($269.99) will also work as microphones when plugged in via USB.
* NOTE: While webcasting, your internet connection should be at least 1 mbps upload speed. Test it here.

Want to broadcast using a full camera setup? Check out this blog article for instructions.

Clifford Chance: US is still on the agenda
Readers' comments (4)
A "global" firm like Clifford Chance needs to have a scale presence in the United States. In reality that means annual revenues of at least £400 million, ideally well over £500 million.
In a flat market there is simply now way that they can there organically.
Why in the world would a self-respecting USA firm want to be taken over by a bunch of Brits?
Gee Anonymous, don't know ... maybe we should ask the good chaps at Dewey Le Boeuf.
I did say self-respecting.

Debate routinely swirls around accused terrorists or enemy combatants of the United States concerning whether or not they have a right to due process. An answer to that question may be determined case to case. Unfortunately, rhetoric and political posturing from both sides often clouds the real issues and the principles that undergird them. For the Christian, principle must always trump politics and indeed personal prejudice.
Let me illustrate. Suppose a U.S. citizen has called for terrorist attacks against the United States. He is now an avowed enemy of the U.S. In response, this avowed enemy is targeted by the U.S. government and subsequently taken out by the U.S. military. In an effort to defend the actions of the U.S. government, a Christian commentator begins to talk about the difference between U.S. citizens and enemies of the U.S. He talks about citizens having the right to due process but not self-avowed enemies. He then talks about the fact that American citizens, not enemies, have been granted unalienable rights by the U.S. Constitution.
There's a problem; by definition, unalienable rights are not granted by government but by God. That's why they're unalienable; no one has the right to separate a person from rights granted by God. The American founders did not come up with those rights but rather recognized them from the Creator. While many of America's founding documents refer to unalienable rights, the Declaration of Independence puts it this way: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men. . . ." The role of government is to secure the rights granted to us by God, not grant them to us. If government granted them to us then government could revoke them.
The upshot of this truth is simple: if these rights are unalienable and granted to us by God, then all human beings have been granted these rights, not Americans only and certainly not loyal Americans only. They are not derived from the U.S. Constitution but from God. A man may forfeit his right to life or liberty to be sure. But that doesn't mean he doesn't possess them until that determination is properly made.
What's the real point? The issue is not that Christians sometimes misspeak, though sometimes we do. The issue is that sometimes Christians allow their feelings or their political persuasion to trump biblical principles. Regardless of how we feel about a person or a situation, the Scriptures must be our authority. Our thoughts on whether or not this avowed enemy should be targeted and taken out by the U.S. government must be determined on biblical grounds and not on fleshly or nationalistic grounds. Because all persons have certain unalienable rights, not just loyal Americans, we cannot argue the rightness of the government's actions on the grounds that avowed enemies or non-U.S. citizens don't have unalienable rights. We have to find another argument, and that argument must be rooted in biblical principles.
We're not partisans; we're Christians. As Christians we have a higher allegiance than the U.S. government. Our allegiance is to Christ. It's His kingdom we're seeking to advance. That means our focus must always be on that reality even when, and perhaps especially when, we're talking in the public arena about what someone or some government ought to do and why. Personal prejudice or partisan politics will never change anyone's life or advance God's kingdom. Those things come about by the powerful propagation of the truth.

James Howard "Jim" Thome ( /ˈtoʊmeɪ/; born August 27, 1970 in Peoria, Illinois) is an American Major League Baseball player. He is currently a designated hitter for the Cleveland Indians. He is the eighth player to hit 600 home runs in the major leagues.
Thome was originally drafted by the Cleveland Indians in the 13th round of the 1989 Major League Baseball Draft. While in the minors, he got into a fight with future Major League star Chipper Jones. Thome and Jones would later become good friends. Thome made his Major League debut on September 4, 1991 as a third baseman against the Minnesota Twins. He was 2 for 4 in that game, with his first hit coming off pitcher Tom Edens in the fourth inning. He hit his first career home run on October 4 against New York Yankees pitcher Steve Farr.
Originally a third baseman, he was shifted to first base when the Indians traded for Matt Williams in 1997.

Batman Trivia of the Day time already? It sure is! Yesterday's questions were all about Harley Quinn my favorite Gotham Girl, who recently had a little cameo in the CW television show Arrow. Harley Quinn's first episode of Batman TAS ( and also her world debut) was Joker's Favor which aired September 11 1992.

Today I'm going to ask another trivia question about both Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy. I want to see if any of our readers know what episode of Batman TAS did Poison Ivy first appear in? What was each Gotham girl's first appearance in The Batman? Bonus points if you know what comic issue these BFF's first met in!

When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then there will be true peace.– Sri Chinmoy Ghose

In America, we seem to have this delusion that we are somehow better off than those in "less fortunate" countries. We see villagers tending to their crops or living in homes made of dirt and think 'those poor people". We have this delusion that because we have our obnoxiously large homes made of cheap parts and our fancy cars and lavish "things" that we are some how better off. We're born in the "greatest country in the world" where we can be anything we want to be and if we earn enough money then we can buy whatever we want to buy…and that will make us happy.
These thoughts came about in light of reading "The Hand Sculpted House". As a country we seem to put ourselves on a pedestal and look down at the "less fortunate" with pity. Shame on us, shame on us for thinking so highly of our shopping malls and oversized carbon footprints. While in some cases things may be harder in these small villages and communities, at least they don't feed off of excess. They may indeed build their homes of mud and straw, and grow their own food or make their own clothes but isn't there much more meaning to find in such labors?
Here, in this silly country as I'm typing on this silly computer I think to myself about how much more meaning I could find in life if I could get away from it all. If I could get dirty and learn to be more in sync with the world around me. No fancy things or food bought at a convenience store will ever bring joy to my heart. No, I want my body and soul to be full of that which I have labored to grow. I want to live in a dirty house made of mud, and have few things and many books. I want to fail, and barely scrape by then learn and thrive. I want a peaceful life free of commercials and advertisements and prepackaged stuff. I tire of the endless march, to "learn more' to earn more. I'm starving for a meaningful life with morals and values and hard learned life lessons. I want this so that some day, when I realize this dream or die trying, I can look back and know there was true meaning and purpose in how I spent my days here.
Work hard to buy more THINGS, because clearly it's our posessions that make us happy…(Or so large corporations try to get us to believe.)
Be happy with little. Work less. Stress less. Enrich your life with hobbies, knowledge, and people - not items.

Dear Self-righteous Vegans/Vegetarians,
Yeah, not eating animals is cool.
Being an annoying asshole harassing and insulting people who don't share the same beliefs as you is not.
So shut up, you're not helping, no one is listening to you.
A Reasonable Vegan
There will never be progress if we keep our mouths shut. Change is created by people who truly believe in a cause and aren't afraid to speak up.
A lot of people only go vegan for health benefits and while it's still a positive thing because it's helping to save animals, it's still not giving those animals a voice; it's not educating others about compassion or showing them the horrors of slaughterhouses. We deal with people who have no respect for life or our planet, who ignore the helpless, and shame those who actually give a fuck. Yet, we're in the wrong for wanting a more compassionate existence for all sentient beings? I think not. We're going to speak out even if it's "annoying". We aren't going to be apologetic about our beliefs. We do it because we care about our ideals more than we care about appeasing those who feel it's okay to murder, rape, and enslave. Deal with it.

Vegucated is on Netflix! Anyone curious about eating healthier should check it out. The movie follows three people in NYC who volunteer to eat vegan for six weeks. Watch the movie to see if they have what it takes to do it.
The ultimate tool for corporations to sustain a culture of this sort is to develop the 40-hour workweek as the normal lifestyle. Under these working conditions people have to build a life in the evenings and on weekends. This arrangement makes us naturally more inclined to spend heavily on entertainment and conveniences because our free time is so scarce.– Your Lifestyle Has Already Been Designed | Thought Catalog (via headandstomachaches)

5 Things You Absolutely Don't Want to Be When You Grow Up | Brazen Life -
I liked the bored part. Its easy to feel bored and when you haven't tried taking on more responsibilities , you look at getting a new job as the only way out.
Robots Developing Human-Like Senses, Abilities, and Limited Autonomy to Take On Undesirable Jobs
It may seem uncomfortably close to science fiction, but robots are moving ever nearer to having humanlike abilities to smell, feel and see their surroundings, allowing them to operate more independently and perform some of the dangerous, dirty and dull jobs people don't want to do.
They can "smell" gas leaks, conduct underwater surveillance and even sort boxes by shape and color and toss them into the appropriate warehouse bin. Advances in sensor technology and software allow these machines to make split-second decisions without human masters overseeing them about how to follow a scent trail or where to go to next.
"They are gaining human capabilities, whether it's smell, or touch or recognizing our voices," said Daniel H. Wilson, a PhD in robotics and the author of "Robopocalypse" … "If they are going to solve human problems, they will have to have human abilities. Those are things that robots will have to understand if they play a role in our lives."
Until now, robots have had to navigate with small infrared sensors that keep them from bumping into things. Some have relied on video cameras that send images to human operators. But a new generation of robots is gaining the ability to understand voices, see objects with the same depth perception as humans and use grasping arms that have dexterity close to that of humans.
…Most robots with advanced sensing abilities are still in the experimental stage. More than toys but not yet tools, they work well in the laboratory but can't yet handle real-world situations.

New Delhi: The government on Monday decided to withdraw all International Bilateral Traffic Rights and domestic slots at airports given to Kingfisher Airlines citing their non-utilisation by the airline. The domestic slots and the rights will now be allocated to other airlines, the government directed.
The rights, which were allotted to Kingfisher between 2008 and 2011, allowed the airline to fly the sky of eight countries.
The new allocation of these rights to other airlines would give additional availability of approximately 25,000 seats per week, the government said. Meanwhile, Airports Authority of India has been directed to make Kingfisher's domestic slots available to other domestic carriers as per their demand.

My suggestions is to talk to your clinic. Different clinics say different things about counting net carbs vs. total carbs, and how many total carbs you are allowed. So it's best to just call them and ask.
I just had the same question in my mind. My clinic has never specified one or the other, but I would assume only net carbs since fiber is not used by the body as an energy source. You would want to count what sticks to you, not what passes through you. :blush:
carb count
I asked my clinic how many carbs to eat when I started week 2 and was told to stay within 20-40 but to watch the ketosis stick. So if it lightens up I know I'm eating too many carbs. I have been counting total carbs and trying to stay under 20 so maybe I can have more if the fiber gms don't really count.
This program is low carb eating - which is why you have to watch the ketosis... My clinic says around 20 carbs a day while on acute. MY body is smarter that the 'net carb' count and knows that I am trying to fool it - I have to go with the real carb count in food. I slowed down my weight loss when I tried to do anything other than that. My suggestion is to stay with counting carbs (not net carbs)while you really get in the swing of the program...
I was told to subtract both the fiber AND the sugar alcohols in each serving and I would get net carbs and to go by that number. ie: if a syrup has xylitol in it, you'll have some sugar alcohols. So it may b 7carbs with 5 sugar alcohols so the net carbs you'd count is 2. Same with fiber. Wish the centers would all have consistent information.
I agree with Macauley. A carb is a carb. A carb by any other name is still a carb. I STILL count carbs as carbs. Net carb/sugar alcohols be darned. You are still dealing with carbohydrates. And, like Macauley, my body DOES know the difference.
My clinic says net carbs and that's what I do.
The formula for net carbs is as follows:
Total Carbs - Fiber - Sugar Alcohols = Net Carbs
That being said, I stick to below 20 net carbs per day, though often I have much less than that. I agree that it is important to find out how your body reacts to the carbs v. net carbs. Try it one way the first week and another way the second week. If you don't see a difference in your weight loss, just go with net carbs.
I just asked this question last week at my clinic - I count total # of carbs and was told between 20-40, NEVER go over 40 and that 30 is my ideal #. I usually end up between 25-30 (depends if I eat a medi bar that day or not).
I think it's all relative then. I was told between 10 and 20 and to count net carbs. If I did total carbs I'd be between 20-40 while in acute.
My clinic says to count total carbs. I'm. Told to stay under 25g/day. It's very odd to me that several clinics are not in sync with each other on this one considering it's a WOE based around carb consumption. :confused:
Don't get me wrong- I actually prefer to count total carbs. The app I use on my iPhone to track my food counts total as well. It takes away the room for a calculating error when subtracting fiber and sugar alcohols.
Hey mom- what app are you using?
I was told to stay under 24 carbs and to count net carbs only on Medi bars of the like. Which is a really good thing because I was REALLY struggling before I started eatting a Medi bar in the morning. I now eat one almost every morning and it's been soooo great. I think you have to do what is best for you. Yes carbs are carbs but as long as you are staying in ketosis and losing weight then I don't think it matters if you count net carbs or carbs. As long as you are happy and you are finding the results you hope for, then keep doing what you are doing. If you stop losing weight or want it to go a bit quicker than try only counting carbs and see if that makes a difference (it doesn't for me).
My clinic told me to count net carbs, that I could drink a glass of wine every once in awhile, and that it's okay to have a TINY bit of a sweet from time to time, as long as I stayed in ketosis and was happy with my results. I trust what my clinic tells me over what people on the board tell me. And I have never been out of ketosis.

We show how to make flowers glow in the dark under ultraviolet light using a fluorescent dye.
You really only need two things, an ultraviolet lamp and a fluorescent highlighter. Open the highlighter and squeeze a few drops of the fluorescent ink into a cup of water. Now take the flower (i find white carnations to be the best) and cut the stem underneath the solution. Leave the flower in overnight and the dye will have been absorbed into the flower.
Now simply shine an ultraviolet light onto the flower to cause the highlighter dye to glow. whats amazing is that the glow isn't uniform but will glow bighter in areas where the dye accumulates. Often this gives a more complex pattern to the flower.

As a healthcare practitioner, sometimes it's difficult to give "advice" – I put advice in quotes there because the word can be incredibly subjective, and, furthermore, is very, very relative – take athletic bodybuilding supplements of weight loss for women supplements for example.
If you click here and check out the kinds of supplements I'm talking about, you'll see how the ingredients really could be quite risky for some patients – however, these might be seniors and elders. On the contrary, how far do you take it? Science helps, but when it comes to things we haven't used and tested for 30 or 40 years, who can be sure?

At the Cannes Creativity Festival, I sat down with The Exchange Lab's newly named Executive Chairman, Chris Dobson for his perspective on the ad tech arena and its challenges and relevance to the ad agency business…
Bruce Rogers: Tell me about Exchange Lab and your new role.
Chris Dobson: I was brought in to provide a broader perspective on the advertising marketplace and the needs of our customers to help scale the business. Before we understand what we need to do next to grow the business we have to understand the market through the eyes of our customers. What customers care about is what we should care about. And tech companies generally get very excited about things that aren't necessarily relevant to the customers they're trying to serve, especially when tech people aren't marketers. They've never been marketers.
Rogers: Especially technology founders.
Dobson: I've spent a lot of time at Microsoft Microsoft and setting up the advertising business for Microsoft Advertising and ended up leading it globally ahead of when Carolyn Everson took on that role. And I did it from London actually. I was one of the few VPs that Microsoft allowed not to move to Seattle. But I spent a lot of time explaining to them that the audience was the asset – not the platform. Not surprisingly clients care about the same things they've always cared about: market share, revenue, and profitability. But they have all this technology disruption going on behind them. They've got a ton of pressure around ROI. They've got siloed internal structures within their own organization but also within the agencies that are still not thinking holistically.
They've got resource constraints. Obviously they can't throw people at the problem. And they've got procurement looking over their shoulder. More and more procurement is all over this, led by people like Accenture Accenture and PWC who are plugged into the board and they're looking at expenditures and putting media and marketing in the cross-hairs because it's still the biggest discretionary part of the budget for most companies.
Rogers: And it's the last function within the corporation that hasn't been automated.
Dobson: Exactly right. CMOs are completely worried about not keeping up, because they know stuff is happening but they don't always know what to do about it. They were disappointed at their agencies at not moving as fast as they'd like and necessarily in the direction that suited them.
They have this vision that they want to have this CRM-based, clear view of a customer where they join the dots through technology. So programmatic is actually a tactic. It's not a means to-to its end. It's a way of being more efficient. But also what they want from us is business insight. What we do tends to give us the ability to understand how consumers are behaving in interesting ways. They want that feedback.
You'd also better deliver what you say do. You'd better be trustworthy. Brand safety is always a big concern for CMOs. Companies spent years building their brands and you can't let some algorithm ruin that by putting your brand in appropriate sites and contexts. I believe that there is a man/machine mix here. It is not just an algorithm. It is much more like finance trading. Traders are extremely important people empowered by technology
It's not just, "Give us a technology and hope for the best." You can't say to a company like HSBC, "I'm sorry I put you on this terrible site." In fact that's exactly what happened and they withdrew from programmatic ad buying. They said, "This is the Wild West and we're not playing."
We as an industry have got a long way to go. We've got to address the stuff in that proper box. Everything else is irrelevant because customers don't care about it.
One of the first steps is very simply the need to cut the jargon–DMP, DSPs, all of the letter acronyms. Marketers are embarrassed by their lack of knowledge of that.
Rogers: Right.
Dobson: There was a survey yesterday in the UK of CMOs and a third of those interviewed didn't even know their digital media was being bought programmatically. There's an agenda going on in agencies for efficiency and for margin generation and there's a lot of conversations about the role of agencies. The agencies are in my view more important today than they've ever been.
Rogers: Okay that's an unconventional view.
Dobson: I'll tell you why because when I was in television 25 years ago, the world was a simple place. Network television in the U.S. is still huge. Fifty percent of ad budgets over the next ten years will still be in that TV marketplace. The difference is though today is what's happened for agencies. The explosion of media and explosion of consumer habits across multiple devices has made their job incredibly more difficult. So their orchestration of this complex ecosystem is even more important to do than it was in the past.
Rogers: True but the challenge for agencies is they're being dis-intermediated to a certain extent by programmatic buying. Why pay an agency? Clients don't have the skill set to manage programmatic buying yet, but they will and some already have brought this in-house.
Dobson: I think you're right. The other thing is I think there is a lot of left field entrants into the media marketplace by the likes of Accenture or PWC. They're plugged into the board and understand the procurement side of the business.
Rogers: They actually are in that business.
Dobson: And I think the biggest disrupter for the global agencies is probably not each other but those sorts of players.
Rogers: Yes, they're huge investors in this space
Dobson: Oracle's acquisition of Bluekai very much signaled the building of a tech stack to do end to end customer engagement. They've got the big guns when it comes to investing in these companies. The challenge for agencies has always been can they keep up in a tech war? Can they invest to the level of the Googles and the Microsofts
Rogers: They can't.
Dobson: They can't. So it is going to be an interesting two years from here on in because there's a lot of flux in the business.
Rogers: As a result, I understand your need to be neutral in terms of the ad tech ecosystem.
Dobson: Our big pitch is that we're agnostic. We are independent. We haven't got an axe to grind. We just go where the performance is and we say to clients, "Look don't worry about how much you're spending in mobile, how much you're spending in video, how much you're spending on display–we will adjust that on the fly driven by performance." We go where it works. And by going across multiple DSPs we can understand and hone down in real time. And I think the other challenge and what we're spending an awful lot of money on our technology and development this year, is that the business is scaled. It has to be more man/machine interface. And at the moment the digital ad business is still incredibly manual. It's claimed to be non-manual. It's not true.
Rogers: Contrary to popular thinking, you can't turn the machine on and walk away.
Dobson: It's very manual. So it doesn't scale. When you think about the way that all this works in terms of setting up campaigns, tailoring optimizing, getting the insights out from the various things you've set up, reporting and feeding that back so that the next time you do it better – something I call real time learning. Right now, there are too many people. It doesn't scale. The platform that we're building takes over a lot of the drudgery of this stuff by mechanizing it, leaving the traders to do the intelligent analysis and decision-making. It's more like a Bloomberg terminal. And in fact we hired a CTO from Deutsche Bank.
Rogers: Makes sense.
Dobson: They really understand scale. We wanted to build our platform so it was ready for various business models that might emerge over the next two to three years. And the other thing the customers care about is data confidentiality. I think we as an industry have got to prove that we can be trusted with data, that we can put concrete rules around it and that it's not leaking out into the system and being used for other clients or other purposes. We see the end game as being 80% machine/ 20% man because as an industry we're going to trade some $125 billion in ad spend. You can't just keep throwing people at it who have inherent biases and habits that you don't necessarily want in the system. But you want them to be doing the elements that are much more in tune with the advertising world than actually the mechanics of making it work.
If 4% of the global digital market today is bought through programmatic means and that's going to rise to 70% of the digital market in 2019, then the industry has got to prove that it's safe. It's got to prove that it can get better at what it does.
Rogers: I thought it was already much higher.
Dobson: It's a lot more in the U.S. But it's only just starting in the UK. There's this West to East flow to the trend. And Asia is just getting going.
Rogers: How do premium publishers play in this space?
Dobson: I was a premium publisher in a previous life and I understand their concerns. We've got to prove we provide brand safety, but also the fact that we can drive price up, not just drive price down. You know an eBay model or an auction model in a premium space where supply and demand is a dynamic should be able to get real value for that premium inventory.
And at the moment I don't think premium publishers are convinced of that. So everything that we're doing is addressing those issues. And the only thing that's in the way for clients now is total confusion over the ecosystem and all the players are in it.
Rogers: Is Exchange Lab' strength outside the U.S.?
Dobson: Yes it is. We are a market leader in Canada. Our chief executive is Canadian and his co-founder is British. We have our group headquarters in London. So we've really only moved into the U.S. this year. We now have offices in New York, Houston, Atlanta and San Francisco. We also just opened an office in Singapore. So you won't have heard of us because we literally are pretty much unknown in the U.S. Part of the reason why we're here in Cannes in to raise our brand awareness.
We started in Canada and the UK and we're coming to the U.S. third. The rich vein of opportunity in the U.S. for us is the second tier of independent agencies who don't have programmatic capabilities and who would never want to build this technology, but absolutely realize that it's very key. And if you think about an agency running regional automobile dealership campaigns for instance it's all about performance. It's about show room traffic and about test drives. We're finding that we're having really good conversations with our second tier because we're not going head to head with the big six ad agency holding companies
Rogers: Well the first tier say they've built it but I suspect its a little bit of smoke and mirrors.
Dobson: To be honest that's true across the board. I think the swan has a lot more legs than everybody lets on.
Bruce Rogers: Fair enough. When will the new platform be ready?
Dobson: Our new platform will be ready by September/October. We're moving at a fast pace. We have that trading platform that can plug and play across all the DSPs. And one of the gating factors for that was whether we could do two-way traffic across their API interfaces. And just in the last week we passed that test. The dev plan is now on target by the end of this year to create a trading platform that uses business intelligence to create that automation in that circle.
Rogers: So you can easily plug into the likes of MediaMath and other platforms?
Dobson: Yes. In fact we are now up and running with MediaMath in just the last couple of weeks. We're also now up and running with Nexus, with Trade Desk, AOP and Turn, to name a few and we're moving into more mobile platforms. We're getting as many of those platforms in as we can.
Rogers: Are you thinking about playing in linear TV?
Dobson: My background is TV with ITV in the UK and then with MTV out of New York. TV is in a very comfortable place still because if you think about the up fronts in the States, billions of dollars are traded in about ten days. Everybody's very happy. Why would you throw that away if you didn't have to? I think almost a generational effect: the white haired establishment –will be replaced by the digital first generation who will be watching TV in a wholly different way. I think what will happen in the TV industry potentially first is disruption from within. If you think about Comcast and Time Warner they're in a very powerful position. They control three-quarters of the TV homes in the U.S They have a direct connection into those. They have a billing relationship into those customers. That's a digital system that could be a very powerful way to place relevant advertising. And that would disintermediate the networks.
Rogers: Can you talk about the growth trajectory for the company?
Dobson: We're a private company, but we took our first external investment of £10 million through BGF (Business Growth Fund) which is a company formed by a group of six global banks including Standard Charter, HSBC, Barclays, Lloyds and RBS. Each bank put £2.5 billion into this fund. BGF's job is to fund small to medium businesses. The investor took a 20% holding in the company and wanted a restructured board with a non-executive Chairman. So that's my role. I have a group of experiences which come from the corporate world: Viacom, Microsoft, BBC Worldwide, which are very much applicable to a business that's growing at this pace whereas our co-founders are entrepreneurs who've never been in that space.
Rogers: That's interesting. Have you been involved in a business that was venture funded before?
Dobson: No I had come from the corporate world. My venture funding was all that money that Microsoft has.
Rogers: I'm curious what the difference is between the traditional VC and BGF?
Dobson: It's a softer touch. That's why the founders selected BGF. The banks are a very useful group to have behind you and also a very handy group of potential customers. BGF is taking a bit of a longer term view and they are investing in a vast diversity of businesses. Some tech, but a lot outside of tech.
They want those businesses to thrive. They don't want to get in the way, so they are very tolerant of change. They're very tolerant of understanding that this isn't their area of expertise. They bought into the co-founders. They bought into me. And to be honest they're a very useful advisory group.
Rogers: They're not going to tell you how to code.
Dobson: No and then the beauty of that is they can't. So they are going with a great deal of trust in the management team's ability to deliver on the company mission.
Rogers: And what is the vision for the company? What do you think it can become?
Dobson: It really depends on how the ecosystem goes. You know there are extremes. I think our future is binary. We could be squeezed. Or we can provide a service that really scales. I also know I'm building a platform to allow for the fact that at some point some companies may want to run it themselves. So the architecture of the platform now allows it to have various business models plugged in if they are required. And I think we could become a mixture of managed service and software as a service. As a Saas service, it would be a bolt on to a big business probably. The people at P&G for example, are doing it themselves.
Rogers: They said they're going to do 70% to 75% of their digital ad buying programmatically through the exchanges..
Dobson: And when you think about the margins that are in this space, especially for big ad buyers, it represents significant money. Most clients won't be in P&G's league. But we could end up embedding people to manage the service for them. We might manage it externally. We don't know how it's going to go but what we'll try to do is build it so that it's flexible going forward. It can go into various directions. I think that we'll end up having interesting conversations with some of these new partners.
Rogers: It's a pretty frothy space to say the least, which I assume has got your investors excited.
Dobson: Of course our investors are in there for a return But I don't think necessarily going public is a route for us. It's interesting to see how BlueKai has been absorbed into Oracle.
Rogers: There's a bit of a bubble isn't there?
Dobson: There's a bit of a bubble and I don't think private investors understand this space. CMOs don't always understand this space. We have some educating to do. But it's an exciting space and my personal career has always been one of moving with consumers. I started with Land Rover as a client back in the '80s. And I moved to UK ITV companies when I saw that they needed the expertise from the automotive sector . Then when ITV consolidated I moved into satellite television with NTV. Then I got whisked into Microsoft kicking and screaming almost after the dot com crash, because they had this asset called a MSN that they didn't really know what to do with.
We went from $15 million to $300 million in three years in that one product. I spent time at the BBC which is probably the only UK based global media company. They were just thinking about monetizing BBC.com. They had TV channels. They had a news channel. They had digital assets in Top Gear and BBC.com. I formed a company within the division called BBC Advertising which took quite a lot of effort to get those two words to be in the same sentence. I spent five years there developing brand and content and of course platform plays.
By then I already started to see that this programmatic space was going to be the next future. And I've always been a bit bored with maintenance. I quite like building. And so when the Exchange Lab founders turned up I thought, "I like these people. I think they may be on to something." We're doing it different than everyone else by building an agnostic platform, which we believe will be to our advantage.
Time will tell.

Ones to Watch: StorySide:B
- Friday, March 03, 2006
StorySide:B – whose lead single, "Miracle," is already a Christian pop radio hit – is a five-piece rock band that formed in northeast Florida in 2003. After winning the band section of a nationally televised competition and touring successfully as an independent act, StorySide:B connected with tobyMac and soon signed to his Gotee Records label.
The band's debut record, "Everything and More," produced by StorySide:B guitarist/vocalist Lu Rubino and mixed by J.R. McNeeley, showcases the band's layers of guitars, rich melodies and clear, universal, faith-inspired lyrics. In addition to Rubino, the band is comprised of drummer Jordan Mohilowski, guitarist Matt Lande, bassist/pianist Ron McClelland and guitarist Preston Pohl.
Paul: Tell me about winning the nationally televised band competition.
Lu: There were more than 1,400 contestants in the "Exalting Him National Talent Search" in 2003, and Jordan and I — with only acoustic guitars — won the group division and were first runner up for the whole shebang. We had an estimated 2.8 million viewers.
Paul: What's the meaning behind your band's name?
Lu: "StorySide:B" references the difference between what we see outwardly and what is going on behind the scenes in the hearts of everyone. We must all learn to have tolerance and non-judgment of our brothers and sisters because we'll never truly know what's going on below the surface. We need to put an end to prejudgment and legalism now.
Paul: Why did you choose Gotee Records as a label home?
Lu: In a sea of labels and production companies, Gotee seemed the best fit for us. Fun-loving, hard-working, God-loving men and women who have integrity, vision and a great balance between art and pop-sense.
Paul: What is your ideal place to play?
Lu: A clear, starry night on the ocean side by a fire with all my friends and family. Carnegie Hall wouldn't be too bad either [smile].
Paul: What is your song "It's Not Over" about?
Lu: "It's Not Over" tells us that it's not too late to get your heart right. It's never too late to begin again. You can do it right now! Carpe Diem. Via Con Dios.

The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that The Hub Network has announced that it has acquired the rights from Disney-ABC Television Group to popular 90s sitcom Blossom.
Mayim Bialik and Joey Lawrence starred in the series which was a coming of age comedy about a precocious girl, her quirky best friend and her family.
According to the report, The Hub has acquired the complete series (all five seasons – 113 episodes), which will begin airing this summer starting on July 7. Blossom will join the network's nightly line-up with episodes airing weekdays at 7/6c and 10/9c.
When the series returns this July, it will mark the series' first time on air in fifteen years. Fans of the series were treated to a mini Blossom reunion two years ago when Bialik and Lawrence came together for an Old Navy ad campaign.
Blossom, which ran on NBC from 1991-95, was the launching ground for both Bialik and Lawrence's careers. Bialik currently stars in CBS' highest rated comedy series The Big Bang Theory, while Lawrence co-stars in ABC Family's top-rated original comedy series Melissa & Joey.
Blossom will join a growing line-up of syndicated 90s hits including Alf, Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, and Sister Sister.
Make sure to check out Blossom weekdays on The Hub starting July 7 at 7/6c.
