Check out Wallstrip March 6, 2007

Posted by Todd Zeigler in Economics, Podcasting, Video, Website review

One trend to watch this year is the boom in well produced, niche video blogs.  The children of Rocketboom

My favorite example is Wallstrip, a daily video blog that takes an in depth look at a hot stock each day from a sort of layman’s perspective.  Using humor, they try to explain in real world terms why a stock is doing so well.

I think it is terrific.

To give you a taste, following is a recent show in which a bunch of venture capitalists race to see who is the most proficient on a Blackberry.  Most of the shows are a bit more informational than this one, but it gives you a taste of Wallstrip’s tone

On a side note, I think it is just a matter of time before someone does this for the political scene in DC. I’m looking forward to it and I hope it is as good as Wallstrip.

    wow – thanks so much from everyone at wallstrip

    I guess you know that controversial michelle Malkin does a political show – hotair.com

    My friend alan from realclearpolitics.com should do that show for their site.

    Howard – I was thinking something more humor-based and much less partisan than Malkin. Essentially following your model.

    Real Clear Politics might be a good venue. I think you could pretty quickly make it a must see for the political/lobbying/media community up here.

    I hope I help win you some convents. We think Wallstrip is great.

    Wallstrip is great – thanks for the link.

    Isn’t Jeff Jarvis’ Prezvid kind of what you are talking about?

    PrezVid is great, but it is much more highly focused (use of video in the Presidential campaign) than what I’m talking about.
