Quotable Clyb No 3

Quotable Clyb: funny, insightful, or notable quotes from podcasts or web series by Clyb members.

This week our Quotable Clyb is from the Backstage on the Bayou podcast titled "Spilling the Beans" ...

Anyone who is willing to do the work and has the talent is able to be seen ... there's no excuse to not be working on your craft.

- ...Gavin Speiller of The Upright Citizens Brigade (who was one of the writers of the popular BP Spills Coffee sketch) on how new media creates a platform for artists and entertainers.

Found: Google TV

Integrated technology is making access to content easier and more enjoyable. Google recently announced the pending release of Google TV, an available device (or TV's with the device built in) that integrates a web browser with DVR capabilities, as well as Android apps. This is a great way to enjoy web-based content without being attached to a laptop or your desktop (or that even more depressing thought, watching movies on your smart phone. ) Google released this video to demonstrate how it works. Fun stuff!

Gambit's First Best of New Orleans Web Awards

Gambit Weekly is hosting their first-ever Best of New Orleans Web Awards. Like their other Best of New Orleans awards, the nominations are open-ballot. You can vote HERE, but there's only two more days to vote!

It should be noted that they are categorizing podcasts under the same group as radio station web sites. So if you want to vote for someone like Radio Wazoo, The Matt and Jack Podvast, or backstage on the bayou, you have to nominate them under the radio category. It seems a little unfair that blogs separate from big media have their own category, but podcasts don't. So, if you want to show your support for indie web content producers, make sure you nominate your favorite podcast!

Sadly, they are also lacking a web video category, as well. Let's hope that next year, they step up their A-game and improve some of the categories, so that it really does emulate a local version of the Webbys!
