YouTube livestreaming, direct from the runway

Wednesday, February 9, 2011

We’re pretty sure there's a lot more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good looking. But in the meantime it’s Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, and we’ll be bringing you the hottest shows from New York, streamed live from Lincoln Center on YouTube. Maybelline and YouTube will be bringing you both Fall Fashion Week and Spring Fashion Week coming in September 2011.

YouTube will live stream 3-4 shows per day for each day of New York Fashion Week (February 10-17, 2011). From Carolina Herrera to Herve Leger to Narciso Rodriguez, all the hottest designers' shows can be watched live, starting tomorrow.

Supplementing the live stream will be a content gallery featuring the hottest moments and highlights from this year's Fashion Week events: runways, designer interviews, and parties. The content featured will come from a select number of top premium fashion partners and will be representative of the diverse range of content and partners we have on the site. We will feature "best of" clips from established editorial voices in the fashion world like Fashion TV (FTV.com), Vogue (Style.com) and Nylon Magazine (Nylon TV), as well as homegrown YouTube gurus like our "Haul Girls" (JuicyStar07, AllthatGlitters21).

Visit www.youtube.com/liverunway and experience Fashion Week like never before. Tune in tomorrow, February 10 for our first live stream.

Our highlights from Vidcon

The energy and passion of everyone there. Wow! Just WOW. We should bottle that, keep it around the office, ration it and release it occasionally when we need a boost. RedBull and 5-hour-energy would not be needed in the micro-kitchens anymore... - Andy Stack, Product Manager

The two-way interactions between YouTube staff and community -- the chance to go beyond the username and talk with people about what they need from YouTube's product to help them accomplish their goals - Hunter Walk, Director, Product Management

iJustine giving out T-shirts to faithful fans in the lobby, using a bar stool as her table, showed her dedication to the YouTube community - Anna Richardson, PR Manager

The Uncultured Project and the standing ovation it received after showing this video. It's one more reminder of how YouTube and its community are changing the world in both big and small ways. - Jim Woods, Director, Content Partnerships

HiimRawn's performance on Saturday morning, featuring Rawn in a bikini, playing the accordion, dancers in gold lame body suits, John Green in a turkey costume and a small marching band. - Mark Day, Comedy Manager

Meeting John Green while wearing a shirt with his face on it. John Green: "Nice shirt." My response: "Nice face!" - Rick Silvestrini, Product Marketing Manager

I fell in love with the incredible passion from the audience and their desire to change the world -- invigorating and reminds me why we do what we do. Hank and John are especially awesome and genuine; they're leading a movement. - Brian Glick, Product Manager

Being in the elevator with a sobbing girl after the iJustine meetup. - Lauren Siegal, Ad Programs Associate

Sitting on a panel with DeStorm, who moved from the established music industry to make his musical career on YouTube without major label backing. It was great that he, like so many YouTube musicians I met, see a successful YouTube presence not as stepping stone to a label deal, but as the career in and of itself. - Chris LaRosa, Product Manger

Seeing kids networking, getting involved in the culture, and wanting to apply for partnership. I'm amazed at the initiative they're taking when they're already so young. - Jeffrey Lee-Chan, Software Engineer

Hearing an aspiring partner say that getting autoplay on his channel changed his life. - Josh Siegel, Product Manager

ShayCarl, charlieissocoollike, sxephil, whatthebuckshow and many other partners highlighting how this is the best job they ever had. - Shenaz Zack, Product Manager

Although it was a bit uncomfortable to hear a 13-year-old girl ask Shane Dawson to be the father of her children, it was truly inspiring to witness the enthusiasm, dedication, and excitement of fans and YouTube stars. Props to the Green brothers for their hard work and giving away conference proceeds to charity! - Falon Fatemi, Strategist, Business Development

Seeing parents trying to understand YouTube and supporting their kids who were so passionate about it...and getting a glimpse of Rocktard. - Mia Quagliarello, Product Marketing Manager

YouTube staples and sensations had a strong presence at the event, from the Muppets to Google’s own Vint Cerf, one of the inventors of the Internet and a curator for our fifth birthday. Buzz Aldrin got an award of behalf of NASA (those guys at College Humor really love him), and The Office’s B.J. Novak hosted (his opening monologue is here). Those who attended the gala said a standout performance was a surprise one, by the PS 22 chorus:

User Experience Manager Shares Her TED Sketchbook

Saturday, February 13, 2010

TED Conferencehost them on YouTube
Each year while attending the conference, I take careful notes of the session in my sketchbook. It's the best way for me to ensure that I really pay attention to what's being said and also that I absorb as much of the ideas and information as possible. As it turns out, people have told me that my sketchbooks are a pretty nice way to "page through" the conference, so I'd like to share my notes from the 2009 conference with the YouTube community. For the talks that have been posted online, I've linked from the name of the speaker to the talk on YouTube. Here are just a few of my favorites from last year's conference:

Let me know if you enjoyed seeing the notes; I'm taking more this week at the conference and will be happy to share those too! And if you're interested in TED, check out this playlist of talks, curated by 2010 TED Prize Winner Jamie Oliver.
