A Website Without Video Is Like...
Do you like Jell-O? It's okay I guess; I mean it's not a hot fudge sundae is it? But if you add a little whip cream, then my friend you've got something worth calling dessert. My question to you is, does your website have that something extra, that dollop of whip cream on top that says, "oh mama let me at it," or does it just lie there squirming in your dish with the sound of Peggy Lee's voice ringing in your ears, "is that all there is?"

Building an Empire: Oprah’s Formative Years
Oprah’s ambition did not diminish with the success of The Oprah Winfrey Show. After her successful acting debut in The Colour Purple (1985), Oprah’s desire to expand into the film and television industry was further fueled. In 1988, Oprah became the third woman in the American entertainment industry to own her own studio when she created Harpo Studios. Oprah’s name read backwards, Harpo is a television and film production, magazine publishing and online media company in one. “I did this to really expand into the areas I wanted to and take over the show to create more time for me to do features and TV specials,” she said.

Living the Good Life: Stewart Creates an Empire
“All the things I love is what my business is all about,” says Stewart. After the success of Entertaining, she continued to pursue her passions through different avenues. Stewart branched out into videotapes, dinner-music CDs, television specials and continued to author books relating to cooking, baking, entertaining, holidays and house restorations. With appearances on television shows such as The Oprah Winfrey Show, Stewart was making both her face and her brand instantly recognizable.
Oprah Winfrey Show
As the longest running daytime television talk show in America, and the highest rated talk show in all of television history, the Oprah Winfrey Show has become a staple of popular culture since its debut on September 8, 1986. Now in its 21st season, the Oprah Winfrey Show’s popularity is such that it has been renewed to run until 2011, which will put it on the air for a quarter of a century.

Action! Spielberg Lights Up the Screen
Spielberg’s first professional job came when he was hired to direct a segment of the pilot for Night Gallery. The success of this show led Spielberg to greater opportunities. After directing a few other segments, Spielberg finally got his first feature-length assignment in the form of a television show called Name of the Game. It would be the first of many successful forays for Spielberg into the world of television, including directing episodes of the hugely popular Columbo.

Are You The Joker When Networking?
One of my favorite superheroes growing up was Batman. My favorite shows almost always included my favorite arch-villain too, The Joker! Jack Nicholson reprised this role of The Joker beautifully in the 1989 version of Batman the movie. I was reminded of this character at a recent networking event where I met someone who had what I refer to as "The Joker" smile.
Online Television: The Best of Both Worlds
With so many different digital mediums available to us at the moment, it was only a matter of time before someone began to merge and combine two of them together. It already happened with mobile phones and online social media, as the popularity of iPhones demonstrates to us. Then there is the Internet and television - two different mediums; one you use for all of your communication and information needs, the other is maybe more for entertainment use - something to sit down in front of after a long hard day, allowing you to mentally ‘switch off'. Yet considering how much time in a day we tend to spend in front of a computer nowadays, it's no surprise that online gurus are taking advantage of the popularity of television and have created Internet websites that allow you to choose which TV show or program you want to watch - on demand.
Lessons on Friendship
You can learn a lot about friendship from watching the television show The Golden Girls. The long-running sitcom about four housemates in Miami touched the hearts of many viewers. Amidst the laughter, the show offers important lessons about friendship for men and women of all ages.
Whose Life Is It Anyway?
As a fan of Jim Carrey, one of my all-time favorite movies is The Truman Show. The hero, Truman, lives inside a Utopian bubble carefully constructed just for him by a savvy media company. Unbeknownst to Truman, hidden cameras broadcast his every move live on television 24/7 to an audience of millions. While outwardly, he appears happy-go-lucky, inwardly a subtle desperation begins to take hold, as he gradually realizes that the life he thought was his, is in fact a monstrous hoax perpetrated upon him.
Social Media: Set Your Employees Free
Every morning while I’m getting ready for work, my two little boys get to watch some TV. My wife and I have decided that a little Disney Channel in the morning is not going to rot their brains, and we limit their TV time to 30 minutes each morning and evening. Today, I asked my three year old son what his favorite show was, and I was a little surprised to find out that Phineas and Ferb had replaced his previous favorite, Mickey Mouse. However, it quickly dawned on me that this Disney snub was hardly the result of the fickleness of youth. Since his exposure to television is quite limited, my son only watches five shows in total. Of the five shows he watches, two of them had already been “favorites” leaving him with only 3 actual choices (so Mickey shouldn’t take it personally).
