INNOVID, Online Advertising taking a new shape


I have been seeing all the giants two Google and Yahoo trying hard with the video advertising. Google put a lot of effort in the new ads in you tube and the video ads and Yahoo adding pauses between song clips which is kind of annoying. And also I read that an attractive way of integrating video ads with online video streaming which became one of the most used services online. I knew I wasn't going to be the guy to do it, of course I am busy with my term exams, so someone else had to do it. Ladies and gentlemen the new way of advertising through video is here and it's called INNOVID and their Clickable Canvas.
Made by an Israeli startup, which always gives me hope that startups can always contribute to the big market, INNOVID comes with a platform that integrates cool looking ads with videos you already have. What the INNOVID platform provides you with is a way to select lets say a wall in an ordinary video to place an RSS feed, a picture of your product or any other animation you can come up with. You can find a lot of details about the technology they are using and their platform on their website.
Please tell me what you think of it. Waiting for your comments.

    wwwooowwwww .. that's really awesome ..
    this technology is great.
    The "in-video hotspot" ,"synched overlay" and "synched bug" ads look good and usual.
    The other ad solutions are incredible.
    I have a concern about these.Putting external elements as ads in vids will make us confused about the original video.We may never know what was the original video look like.
    This doesn't mean i admired these ads :D

Sharing the Network: From Circuit Switching to Packet Switching (The Hitchhiker's Guide to Computer Networks)

Prelude ... From Circuit Switching to Packet Switching The simplest approach for two people to communicate over long distances is to connect them through a dedicate physical wire. However, how would we scale that model to a million people that individually want to be able to communicate with everyone else? One approach is to extend wires between all pairs of users, requiring hundreds of billions of wires.  This is definitely not a good way to design a network. So what's wrong with that design? First, it is unlikely that every single person in that network will want to talk to everyone else at the same time. This means that we can use fewer wires. Second, not all connections are created equal. Longer wires cost a lot more money than short ones. Our design should have short wires whenever possible. Also it will be nice if the cost of extending long wires is shared between multiple users at the same time. Let's revisit our connection strategy. Rather than extending wires betwe...

Video on Demand: Part 1 (The Hitchhiker's Guide to Computer Networks)

Image
Data from the 2019 Global Internet Phenomena Report Video is the dominant type of traffic on the Internet. In 2019, video on demand constituted 60% of the total global Internet traffic. The image to the right shows the huge gap between the bandwidth demand of video streaming and the second highest application which is web traffic (think email, blogs, and news). This means that if you are in the computer networks business, you are pretty much in the business of video delivery. So the biggest question here, what is the best way to deliver video?  The "best" in this context can mean a couple of different things. It can mean delivering the best quality video for the user. Video quality does not only refer to whether a video is in HD or UHD but also whether it freezes and hangs or not. The "best" way to deliver video can also mean the most cost efficient way. If we can save 1% of the cost of delivering all videos on the Internet, we can save tens of millions of dollars i...

My PhD coping mechanism (or how speaking my mind out loud helps me maintain my sanity)

Image
Getting a PhD can easily become a lonely where students get depressed, feel out of place, thrown away alone with a mild to a sever sense of the imposter syndrome. There is no wonder that "graduate students are more than six times as likely to experience depression and anxiety as compared to the general population" . Almost all my friends in graduate school face some sort of mental health struggle. This prompted me to write a post on my personal approach to dealing with my own issues and they all have to do with talking. Personally, I find it very hard to talk to strangers, so I focus all my talking to people I know. I talk to different people because defeating imposter syndrome, self doubt, angry thoughts, and most importantly the depression spiral requires multiple perspectives, especially with the highly logical PhD student. Talking with advisors One of the challenges of being a graduate student is feeling at loss when it comes to assessing my own progress, strength...
