urltoken
launched in 2002 , urltoken will now operate as a wholly - owned business unit of advertising . com , part of aol’s platform - a organization , to which urltoken ’s pay - per - action alternative to traditional ad campaigns will bring a performance - based element . urltoken has also made a special play into the arena of marketing on social networks , which will be a key tool for aol as it tries to build its platform .
aol has acquired urltoken , a leading affiliate marketing network backed by vc house dfj esprit . financial terms of the deal were not disclosed , but well - placed sources say the deal is worth in the region of £75 million ( $ 150 million ) . although launched in the uk urltoken now has a growing us operation , which is what attracted aol’s interest . urltoken is the fifth advertising company aol has acquired in the past year . others are tacoda , adtech , third screen media and quigo . these deals indicate aol’s concentration on ad serving aspects as opposed to urltoken ’s closer relationship to retailers . aol is understood to have tried to buy another affiliate network , tradedoubler , a year ago but the deal foundered with the latter’s shareholders , who couldn’t agree on price .
my sources tell me the deal is very much about global expansion of urltoken ’s expertise , since the uk is now considered a world leader in online marketing and actually ahead of the us in terms of sophistication . out of total ad - spend , online spend here is proportionately higher than in us . owned by perfiliate technologies , urltoken has 70 employees in newcastle , uk and nyc and has over 200 e - commerce businesses as clients .
in fairness , costco’s heartier craft brews such as its kirkland signature india pale ale score higher with beer enthusiasts on such websites as urltoken and beeradvocate . com . prices get high marks , too . we wandered over to a pallet filled with variety packs of 24 12 - ounce bottles of kirkland craft beers . the cases were selling for $ 19 . 99 . nearby , a goose island flight case of 24 12 - ounce bottles was going for $ 28 . 99 .

gas prices at costco are generally $ 0 . 20 to $ 0 . 25 below competitors , according to blogger save money live joyfully , but the real perk is the 3 % cash back you get when you pay using your costco card .
bakers , listen up . costco is the place to stock up on this pricey ingredient . according to the krazy koupon lady , you can practically steal this additive at $ 0 . 62 an ounce , compared to $ 1 . 84 at other discount stores like walmart .

definitely check out costco ' s discounted in - house brand kirkland , which offers beer , wines and spirits at a discounted price , but don ' t overlook the name brands . prices vary by state , but according to blogger , queenbee coupons , top - shelf liquor like sauza hornitos and crown royal is a fraction of the price of what it is at your local liquor shop .

mention of an art auction conjures images of fast - talking auctioneers , adrenalin - fuelled bidding and eleventh - hour drama . and while we think that’s the fun part , it can also feel intimidating to a first - time collector . in reality , bidding has never been easier or more accessible , whether you want to attend a live auction at one of christie’s auction houses around the world , or simply do it from home online .
and buying fine art and objects isn’t the sole purview of millionaires : price points run the gamut , particularly in online sales , where you might pick up an original de kooning or warhol for just a few thousand dollars .
watch our video for a quick tutorial on how to buy at christie’s or view our step - by - step buying guide .
from diamond rings to frozen pizzas to a year ' s supply of toilet paper , there ' s something for everyone at costco . but that doesn ' t mean you should buy everything that ' s for sale .
costco is one of america’s most beloved stores , and for good reason . where else can you make a whole lunch out of free samples , purchase a diamond ring , and buy a rotisserie chicken for just $ 5 ?
mainly , costco is known for its bulk items : vats of mayonnaise , gallons of olive oil , a 16 - pack of tuna cans . but as much as people love shopping at this members - only store , you shouldn’t buy everything in bulk . even if you think you’re saving money at the moment — after all , those low prices can be pretty enticing — you’re actually losing it in the long run .
that’s because a lot of those bulk foods go uneaten and wind up being thrown away . a study in the international journal of consumer studies found that low - income households waste more food than middle - income homes , due in part to bulk buying . it typically goes like this : we see something that’s a better value when bought in bulk , we get bored stiff of it and by the time we can stomach the idea of digging back into the pile , it’s either gone bad or lost its flavor or nutritional potency .
make sure you avoid these common items bought in bulk . and to save even more money at the grocery store , don’t miss our essential list of the 46 best supermarket shopping tips ever .
nuts seem like one of those foods that never go bad , but that’s actually not the case . even if they don’t grow mold or get freezer burn , they can still spoil . both seeds and nuts contain a lot of oil , which comes from healthy unsaturated fats . fats , healthy or otherwise , tend to go rancid rather quickly . even if you store your seeds and nuts in an airtight container and keep them in a cool , dark spot ( as you should ) , they’ll only keep for a couple of months . if you’re stuck with a mountain of macadamias or a hefty bag of hazelnuts , put them in airtight containers and store them in the fridge or freezer . this may extend their life to up to a year , which would be ideal since they’re one of the 29 best - ever proteins for weight loss .
even if spices don’t actually go bad , they do go stale rather quickly . which is a huge bummer , since the whole point of spices is to , you know , be flavorful ; and the more refined the spice , the more rapidly it will lose potency . ground spices will start to get dull after just six months while spices purchased in a whole form—cumin seeds for example—have about a year . although buying in bulk seems tempting for the price , people typically only use a pinch here and there , so buying large amounts isn’t necessary ; they’ll go bad before you get to enjoy them all .
eating lots of flour isn’t great for your waistline — getting rid of empty carbs is one of the 40 things you must do for a flat belly — and it’s bad for your wallet , too . flour , be it all - purpose , whole wheat , or another variety , attracts water . although that makes it a great ingredient for thickening soups , stews , and sauces , it also means it soaks up moisture in the air . and the longer you have it , the more time it has to soak up moisture , and the closer it is to turning rancid . white all - purpose flour actually keeps longer than whole grain or nut flour , about a year versus a couple months , but unless you are cooking and baking with flour every day , you probably won’t go through a bulk size within the year . you can extend the life of flour by putting it in your fridge , but if you keep buying everything on this list in bulk , your icebox is going to get pretty crowded .
coffee is pretty cheap as it is , so there’s no real need to buy it in bulk . plus , real coffee aficionados know that’s not the freshest way to enjoy a hot cup of joe . the freshest , best tasting cup of coffee is made from beans that have been roasted within two weeks of the cup being brought to your lips . if you value what your coffee tastes like you’re best off doing two things : choose a bag that contains as much coffee as you could get through in a week ( or two ) , and avoid those giant barrels or bins of coffee altogether . we simply don’t know how long the coffee’s aroma and flavor have been sucked out of the beans and into the surrounding air .
while baking soda can last for a long time , baking powder is prone to attracting moisture — the same reason why flour goes rancid . unless you are baking up a storm every day , it’s unlikely that you’ll go through your big tub of baking powder before it goes bad . baking powder can only stay fresh and active for about six months to a year when stored in a cool , dry place . dried yeast may still do the trick after six months , but the fresh variety will lose its mojo months sooner . store fresh yeast in the fridge and dry yeast in the freezer for maximum shelf life .
did you realize whole grains contain oils ? they’re found in the grain’s bran and germ and can cause them to go rancid quickly , just like nuts and seeds . although the oils are removed during the processing ( like white rice ) , they do remain attached to the grain and can cause them to go bad .
your favorite condiments like ketchup , mayo , and mustard tend to be loaded with sugar , salt , and other preservatives . despite this , they can still go bad . even if they are “shelf stable , ” they are slowly going bad . family finance and frugal living expert jordan page advises you forgo buying an economy - sized vat of ketchup . “it almost always will go bad before you can go through it , ” she says .
since beef jerky is preserved with salt and other spices , you’d think it would stay fresh for a long time , right ? not quite . jerky , whether it be chicken , beef , or turkey , needs to be refrigerated after opening . in fact , most jerky packages state to eat within three days of opening and store it in the fridge after that . but even in the refrigerator , jerky only lasts about a week or two . unless you want to get fancy and vacuum seal it ( in which case it can last up to two months ) , you’re better off sticking to the smaller packs .
even if you’re someone who frequently cooks with oils and uses it as a base for sauces and dressings , it’s unlikely you’ll go through one of the bulk - sized vats in the 3 - 6 months that’s recommended to enjoy oil . and it doesn’t matter which type of oil you use : olive , sesame , canola , and peanut all start to go rancid at around a few months , even when unopened . once a bottle is open , it only lasts between 1 and 3 months . since , according to bertolli , americans only go through about one and a half 750 - milliliter bottles of extra virgin olive oil a year , you likely won’t have to buy that much oil . looking for inspiration to use your bottle of oil before it goes bad ? check out our 14 popular cooking oils and how to use them .

years back , retailers got wise to the ways of store brands . you know the drill : grocers stock their shelves with food items packaged just for them , from pasta sauces to pinto beans . for most , gone are the days of those products signaling to customers that yes , they’re less expensive than national brands - - and less tasty . i’m looking at you , old - school a & p ; with your ann page line of goods . rest in peace .
even warehouse clubs are mastering the game , none better than costco with its kirkland signature line , which includes traditional grocery - list staples as well as non - traditional items such as clothing and luggage . in fact , high marks from readers on the quality of costco’s store brands helped the bulk retailer place sixth in consumer reports’ supermarkets ratings , behind market basket , fareway , trader joe’s , publix and , the no . 1 chain , wegmans .
costco has turned on its head the notion that a store brand is a notch below a national brand by using its coast - to - coast strength to strong - arm suppliers to put quality as well as value into its kirkland signature offerings . we took a closer look at several kirkland signature products getting accolades from customers and critics . you should check them out , too .
consumer reports actually ran a “bacon test program” and saved costco’s bacon , so to speak . the respected publisher and product tester awarded its highest score , based on flavor and texture , to the kirkland signature brand of regular sliced bacon . in consumer reports’ own words , the sliced bacon you can find at costco “crisped up nicely , with a balance of fat and meat flavors , complemented by wood smoke and a hint of sweetness . ”
we’ve long recommended buying batteries in bulk at warehouse clubs for the simple reason that you’ll pay a lot less per battery than you would buying smaller packages at supermarkets or drugstores . you’ll save even more at costco if you opt for its store - branded batteries . while the kirkland signature aa alkaline batteries tested by consumer reports didn’t beat out duracell or rayovac on quality alone , costco batteries did earn the coveted “best buy” rating , which is based on a combination of quality and value .
yup , beer . and beer aimed right at my sweet spot : light . kirkland signature light beer is your basic watery light , with a hint of plain ol’ light beer taste , without bud light’s off - putting ( in my opinion ) aftertaste . we’ve seen it at very nice prices in 30 - and 48 - packs . yes , please .
consumer reports plugs kirkland signature colombian supremo whole bean coffee as a “best buy , ” noting the medium - dark roast has a chocolate edge , with a “hint of dried fruit and some burnt notes . ” the review went on to say that the coffee is “moderately bitter” ( a good thing ) despite exhibiting “a trace of woodiness” ( a bad thing , apparently ) . they already lost me at bitter .
a handful of colombian coffees scored much higher on taste , including a couple of coffee lines from whole foods , but none could compete with kirkland’s price .
not every costco has a gas station adjacent to it , but the club locations that do have them see steady , and strong , business . what gives ? the savings . a costco in northern virginia recently was selling regular kirkland signature gasoline for $ 2 . 13 a gallon . nearby sunoco and shell stations had regular priced at $ 2 . 39 and $ 2 . 41 a gallon , respectively . so an 11 - gallon fill - up at costco would save you about $ 3 – not bad if you’re heading to costco anyway . ( you can check gas prices near you on the gasbuddy website or app ) .
factor in how valuable your time is , though . even on a weekday afternoon , at least 20 vehicles were waiting in line , sometimes for 20 minutes or longer , to get to costco’s gas pumps . that’s a lot of idling .
golfers got giddy over costco’s new line of golf balls at the end of 2016 , so much that they sold out , were restocked – and sold out again right before christmas . what’s the what ? kirkland signature four - piece urethane cover golf balls were getting compared by the pros to the vaunted pro v1 golf balls from titleist , according to golf digest and others . and at $ 30 for 24 balls from costco , versus the $ 40 you ' d pay for a 12 - pack of last season’s titleist pro v1 golf balls at dick’s sporting goods , the kirkland golf balls were a steal .
the bad news : costco no longer stocks kirkland golf balls - - it ran out - - though you might be able to find some second - hand on websites such as ebay . the good news : a new line of kirkland golf balls should show up on store shelves eventually . costco has been tight - lipped about a release date , but the u . s . golf association has approved a new kirkland ball dubbed
performance one .
( the original kirkland ball was called
tour performance .
)
“sour cream notes and slightly chalky texture , ” opined consumer reports in its comparison of kirkland signature greek yogurt ( plain , nonfat ) to like brands , and noted it was the “best tasting nonfat . ” it landed a “best buy” label . fage scored higher than kirkland on taste , but you’ll pay nearly twice the price for the brand - name yogurt .
if you’re a walmart shopper , the big - box retailer’s great value greek yogurt trailed kirkland yogurt only slightly in both taste and cost .
at $ 11 for two half - gallons , it’s a bit pricey in my world considering you can usually find a leading ice cream brand such as breyers on sale at the supermarket for a lot less . coupons can bring down the supermarket price even more . ( costco doesn’t accept manufacturers’ coupons . ) still , costco’s kirkland signature super premium vanilla ice cream earned a “best buy” rating from consumer reports , which called it “full and dense with big dairy flavor and complex vanilla - extract flavor , ” though “sometimes slightly gummy . ”
vanilla ice creams from ben & jerry’s and haagen - dazs scored far higher than kirkland’s , based on flavor and texture , but you’ll shell out a lot more for both of those brands . further proof that you get what you pay for : even though you can find it cheaper , breyers scored much lower than kirkland in taste testing .
we’ve already sung the praises of costco’s whole bean coffee , in terms of taste and value . it turns out that fans of those ubiquitous keurig single - serve coffee makers can get in on the action , too . we found a box of 120 k - cup pods of kirkland signature pacific bold dark roast coffee selling for $ 39 . 99 , or about 33 cents per pod . match that up against a box of 72 dunkin’ donuts medium roast k - cup pods selling for $ 42 . 99 , or about 60 cents per pod , and you can see where the bargain lies .
a tip for pod people who aren’t costco members : you can find kirkland k - cups for sale on amazon , though you will be pay a premium for your order .
costco’s olive oil rises to the top , notes the university of california , davis , which conducted a chemical and sensory study of olive oils . kirkland signature organic extra virgin olive oil was one of only a few imported oils that met international and u . s . standards for extra virgin olive oil . the many brands that fell short in the testing were diluted with cheaper oils and exhibited problems with quality and flavor .
when my wife finally weaned me off creamy ( and delicious ) jif peanut butter and into the world of peanut butter made without sugar ( just peanuts ; maybe some salt ) , my snacking world changed .
our go - to brand has been nature’s promise organic creamy peanut butter from giant , but after diving into kirkland signature organic peanut butter , that , too , has changed . it’s just as good as nature’s promise , maybe even better , and there’s no arguing with the price . you get two 28 - ounce jars of kirkland peanut butter for $ 9 . 99 , while a 16 - ounce jar of nature’s promise is $ 5 . 19 .
i’ll put it up front : while i eat no fish or seafood ( or much meat , for that matter ) , friends and family swear by the freshness , taste and bargain price ( compared to whole foods and elsewhere ) of kirkland signature wild alaskan sockeye salmon . the fillets come individually wrapped , and a three - pound package of salmon runs about $ 29 . a recent check found wild caught coho salmon fillets selling for $ 17 a pound at a whole foods in northern virginia .
wine snobs are already familiar with kirkland signature wines , but spirits snobs might still be in the dark about costco’s store - brand booze . costco isn’t allowed to sell liquor in all its stores ; many states limit the warehouse club to beer and wine . but some states do give the green light to costco selling liquor , and its vodka is a hands - down winner , raves bon appetit .
i stumbled upon kirkland signature vodka while shopping at a costco on florida’s gulf coast last fall . not that i’m so into vodka , but i do know good from bad . kirkland’s vodka ranks up there with my american fav , tito’s .

we already know the best items that you can find at trader joe ' s , but not much is said about what you shouldn ' t be buying . as a former employee of the grocery chain , i shared with you guys the six things that you need to know about trader joe ' s . now i want to tell you more about two trader joe ' s products that you should stay away from because its quality is not up to standards .
the produce at trader joe ' s is not that bad . as customers , we come to expect high quality in all of tj ' s products . but the produce department just falls short .
as its name implies , trader joe ' s is a trading post . it outsources products from around the world—and in some cases—that gives the store a more global atmosphere . yet sometimes products are more appealing when they come from somewhere closer to your backyard . for instance , an avocado from mexico might lead you to question how long it ' s been in a shipping crate .
if you want high - quality produce , do yourself a favor and visit your local produce market . the produce at farmer ' s markets is usually cheaper and farmed by your local community —meaning it could only be fresher if you picked it yourself . not to mention you ' d be supporting a small business . do yourself a favor , and buy produce elsewhere .
for those of you who don ' t know—trader joe ' s allows you to return any item that you are dissatisfied with for a full refund . so if you ' ve eaten an entire box of joe - joe ' s and then suddenly decide that you disliked them the entire time you were inhaling them , you can get a refund for that empty box of cookies . trader joe ' s allows this because they stand by their products 100 percent .
i found this statement to be overwhelmingly true—with the exception of sushi . as a former employee , we were told specifically not to eat the sushi because it ' s not made in store and it sits in a box from production , to your shopping bag . so i never tried it for that very reason .
one professional sushi chef sums up the experience of eating trader joe ' s sushi pretty accurately . and some reviews claim that the rice tastes like it is compacted and stale—yuck .
all things considered , trader joe ' s still has my heart . it always fascinates me how much product variety and creativity is crammed into such a small space . if a few things in a store full of amazingly unique and interesting products don ' t suit your fancy , it ' s still worth the trip to tj ' s in my eyes . just don ' t eat the sushi .

what does history really consists of ? centuries of people quietly going about their daily business - sleeping , eating , having sex , endeavouring to get comfortable . and where did all these normal activities take place ? at home . this was the thought that inspired bill bryson to start a journey around the rooms of his own house , an 1851 norfolk rectory , to consider how the ordinary things in life came to be . and what he discovered are surprising connections to anything from the crystal palace to the eiffel tower , from scurvy to body - snatching , from bedbugs to the industrial revolution , and just about everything else that has ever happened , resulting in one of the most entertaining and illuminating books ever written about the history of the way we live .

revision3 was a san francisco-based multi-channel internet television network that created , produced and distributed web television shows on niche topics .

founded in 2005 , it operated as a subsidiary of discovery digital networks since 2012 .

the network produced technology and gaming oriented programming in tandem with traditional comedic , political , diy , and movie-related content .

on march 31 , 2017 , discovery communications closed the website .

revision3 links now redirect to seeker .

revision3

that’s the scenario martin sargent , director of acquisitions at revision3 , is betting on for the online media company’s latest venture : revision3 beta .
the discovery channel is announcing that it has acquired online video company revision3 , as reported in allthingsd . revision3 has also confirmed the deal in a press release .
revision3 will continue operating with 50 employees under its current management , led by ceo jim louderback .
revision3 marks the biggest acquisition of an indie online video network since youtube snapped up nextnewnetworks last year .
epic fu and wine library will no longer be distributed through revision3 , although the shows are still available at their respective sites . ( and epic fu will still be available on revision3 through december . )
the new web venture is a virtual studio to test - drive shows before they hit revision3’s main site .
revision3 is a pioneer in the online programming space , having built out 23 digital channels filled with programming mostly aimed at technology and video games including series “tekzilla . ” based in san francisco , revision3 currently reaches 27 million unique monthly visitors .
we’re continuing to develop and invest in new properties . we launched seven new shows last month , for instance , on revision3 beta , and we’ve got high hopes for an expanded lineup there – and seeing some of that first crop graduate to revision3
even though we’re sad to see these shows end on revision3 , in today’s economic climate it’s essential for us to focus on what we do best , and where the best opportunity for success lie ,
wrote jim louderback , revision3 ceo , in an official blog post .
we remain huge fans of these two shows , even though they don’t fit our long - term plans at revision3 ,
wrote louderback .
revision3’s game plan might sound like just another web venture offshoot , but the project makes sense : it’s a low - cost and low - risk way for revision3 to expand its line of programming while offering up - and - coming creators a platform that isn’t overrun with music videos and amateur clips .
revision3 kicked off the project with seven original ideas submitted by budding video producers , and gave the directors tools to take their series to the next level .
revision3 has partnered with videoclix to offer viewers clickable web videos . videoclix’s technology allows viewers to click on different objects within a video , including show hosts and product
discovery communications has acquired digital video network revision3 , the conglom announced thursday . the purchase will give discovery more inventory for selling online video advertising . revision3 is a pioneer in the online programming space , having built out 23 digital channels filled with programming mostly aimed at technology and video games including series “tekzilla . ” based in san [ … ]
geek chick celebrity veronic belmont has signed to co - host revision3’s tekzilla show . belmont resigned from the mahalo daily podcast last week after only 5 months , with a relatively cool send of
even though we’re sad to see these shows end on revision3 , in today’s economic climate it’s essential for us to focus on what we do best , and where the best opportunity for success lie .
here’s a video match made for the web . revision3 , the video playground of digg founders kevin rose and jay adelson , is teaming up with urltoken to syndicate all of its shows . that includes diggna
revision3 was founded by digg founders jay adelson and kevin rose ( who also hosts its most popular show , diggnation ) . it raised $ 8 million just last june . but producing video shows can be very expensive .
that ' s what revision3 has teamed up with charity : water to make a difference . charity : water donates 100 % of the money it raises to building wells and bringing clean water to communities in need . each show on revision3 , as well as revision3 staff , clients , and partners , are reaching out to our viewers , fans , friends , and family to raise money to build wells . it takes $ 5 , 000 to build a well that can provide clean water to an entire village , so we need your help . donate here , or on campaign pages for any of our shows to get involved . go to urltoken and urltoken to learn more .
revision3 will reportedly continue to operate from its san francisco headquarters and produce its own web shows , though the plan is to start incorporating discovery channel content eventually . the company previously said it has 800 million video views in 2011 .
the new media landscape is getting more and more crowded ,
said sargent , who hosts revision3’s hit web show , internet superstar .
as it gets easier to make these shows , it gets harder to corral audiences .
revision3 beta’s lineup includes hackcollege , a lifehacking show aimed at the university set ; your weekly music lesson with walt by walt ribeiro ( aka
the internet’s music teacher
) ; and bottles , brews and blends , a drink review show ( embedded ) .
sargent sifted through the submissions and hand - picked several candidates , then supplied each team with seed money to cover production costs , studio time with green screens , tech advisers and equipment . the show producers also get a portion of ad revenue earned by revision3 beta .
discovery may be the most conservative among media companies when it comes to repurposing its tv content online , with no deals in place among major distributions for tv everywhere either . revision3 will help fill that vaccuum , though the conglom will continue to consider tv and digital largely separate platforms .
“with revision3’s industry - leading management team and roster of great talent , we look forward to cultivating more original content and fresh personalities that resonate with passionate communities online and across all platforms , while enhancing our innovative marketing solutions for advertising partners , ” discovery chief digital officer jb perrette says in the release .
discovery will look to continue the growth of revision3 , partly with intellectual property from discovery’s vast library of intellectual property and pacts to come that will reel in new independent talent online already building followings in the parent company’s key verticals of science , technology and wildlife . that growth will fuel additional cross - platform opportunities for discovery ad sales .
web video production house revsion3 is canceling three shows , cutting back staff , and ending distribution agreements with wine library tv and epic fu . rumors started swirling earlier today about layoffs , when rocketboom founder andrew barron put out a tweet about one of the layoffs . revision3 ceo jim louderback confirms in a blog post that three in - house shows have been canceled ( the long - running pixel perfect , as well as popsiren , and internet superstar ) . in addition , revsion3 will no longer be distributing smashface’s epic fu or gary vaynerchuck’s wine library tv , possibly because those required upfront payments to the producers of those shows which revision3 had been hoping to make up over time in advertising revenues .
hulu , the online video site created as a joint venture between nbc and news corp . , will distribute shows from content startup revision3 , which focuses on shows broadly related to technology . now you can easily switch between wwe wrestling matches and watching alex albrecht and kevin rose getting drunk without having to turn off your laptop . [ silicon alley insider
today the company announced it will be put into use in all of revision3 ' s programming - - starting with the latest episode of diggnation filmed last week in amsterdam . other revision3 shows will follow , including tekzilla , the totally rad show , and internet superstar . in its first version , users were required to download the video and play it back in apple ' s quicktime player to get the technology to work . however , in the latest model , the self - contained flash player now includes small overlays that pop - up from the right side of the player and link off - site . there ' s also an entire list of embedded objects users can browse . clicking any of them will skip ahead to the part of the show .
my boss eric eldon wrote on monday night that an acquisition was in the works , with a price between $ 30 million and $ 40 million . looks like he was right : discovery isn’t releasing the terms , but allthingsd is also hearing that the price was $ 30 million . revision3 had raised $ 10 million from investors including greylock partners , marc andreessen , and mark cuban .
director dan trachtenberg is suddenly in a position most movie fans dream of . in a sort of internet - infused millennial version of jean - luc godard — going from critic at cahiers du cinéma to becoming a renowned movie director — trachtenberg has followed a path of movie geekdom : chatting about movies on the internet with his friends to making movies his internet friends would talk about . and it all started with revision3 .
published reports pegged the value of the deal at $ 30 - 40 million . discovery declined comment on terms of the deal . while discovery already has plenty of online real estate between the dot - com extensions of its cable channels as well as acquisitions ranging from urltoken to howstuffworks . com , most of those properties are reliant on display ad dollars . revision3 will double the company’s video inventory and open the door to more lucrative integration opportunities .
he does not say how many people were laid off . i’ve asked him via e - mail . ( i count at least five . caroline mccarthy at cnet counts nine , which would be about one third of employees . if anyone knows the exact number , please submit it to our layoff tracker . update : kevin rose lists ten people ) . smashface , for its part , is laying off three staffers as a result of losing the revision3 licensing revenue .
in the mid - to late - aughts , trachtenberg built his online cred by molding a few different series on revision3 , the network of shows about geek - friendly niche topics . in 2006 , he directed a cooking comedy show called ctrl alt chicken , featuring media personalities like alex abrecht cooking recipes without really knowing how . he also co - hosted geekdrome , a sort of precursor to the well - loved pop culture series called the totally rad show he co - fronted with albrecht that made waves in internet fandom circles .
last year videoclix . tv demoed an early version of its creepy , yet intelligent video advertising technology in an episode of revision3 ' s diggnation , the popular podcast starring urltoken ' s kevin rose and co - host alex albrecht . the technology , which inserts clickable advertising in every element of the video , gives users a way to be linked up to online retailers for any product or service that ' s seen in videos . it also lets users click on things not for sale to see any related information from elsewhere on the web - - a handy service that ' s usually ended up with horribly annoying results when applied to text ads ( see intellitxt ) .
probably left the theater more entertained by a trailer that preceded the movie than the movie itself . with zero fanfare , j . j . abrams’ production company bad robot released a mysterious clip about a woman who wakes up in a doomsday bunker , captive to a man raving about the apocalypse . the trailer was for
. without warning , fans were denied answers . what was the trailer actually about , and who could pull off such a switcheroo ? the answer , it turns out , was one of us .
founded in 2007 , the totally rad show was a video podcast whose inclusive diy charm attracted a large following for five years before its end in 2012 . a sort of pop culture panoply , the totally rad show — or trs as it was affectionately called — covered anything and everything that fell under the banner of geek - related movies , video games , tv shows , and comic books . basically , trachtenberg , albrecht , and co - host jeff cannata gave their unique takes on major releases of the week , like a siskel and ebert for the comic book crowd .
here’s trachtenberg and his co - hosts talking about j . j . abrams’ super 8 from 2011 :
towards the end of trs , trachtenberg bolstered his filmmaking credits , and worked for commercials for brands like lexus , nike , coca - cola , mitchell & ness , and more before he graduated to sci - fi - tinged short films .
2011 , then , was his banner year . in march 2011 , he released more than you can chew , a six - minute short film about two paramedics who take a potentially deadly 911 call . it debuted on blackboxtv , the twilight zone - esque youtube channel that showcases anthologies of horror and sci - fi stories from independent filmmakers . five months later came trachtenberg’s real big break . he released portal : no escape , a live - action short based on the popular video game portal .
in retrospect , his gritty and realistic take on a woman trapped in a cell ( she later escapes ) has parallels to 10 cloverfield lane . millions of views on youtube later , it also proved he could do a lot with a little . suddenly , his name was associated with several new sci - fi features in hollywood .
in august 2011 , universal signed him to a deal to create a time - travel heist movie called crime of the century , based on his original idea . while the film was trapped in development hell , trachtenberg was also adapting a big - screen version of y : the last man , a comic book — with a reputation of being unadaptable — also suspended in development hell .
but by 2014 , his y movie fell apart , and he was courted by bad robot for a mystery project called “valencia” this elusive film ended up being 10 cloverfield lane , trachtenberg’s directorial debut . in typical abrams fashion , bad robot kept basically everything about the movie a secret , even to the actors involved , right up until the trailer debuted before 13 hours .
nearly everything about trachtenberg’s trajectory — and the movie itself — is surprising . both represent the drastic changes and huge opportunities offorded to filmmakers like rian johnson , colin trevorrow , and others .
you talk about movies on a podcast and make a short film on youtube one day and you’re working with j . j . abrams the next . you’re shooting a movie called “valencia , ” and suddenly it’s a cloverfield movie set for release in two months . we’re still waiting to unlock the mystery of his movie , but it’s no secret that dan trachtenberg has the track record to pull it off .

as more digital media studios experiment with new content , the trick isn’t always coming up with viable ideas — it’s connecting solid shows with a sizable audience .
we were getting a staggering number of e - mails from people with show ideas ,
said sargent .
and while they weren’t quite ready for our main site , they were good enough for promotion .
the media site , which is already home to epic fu , wine library tv and kevin rose’s diggnation , tallied 6 . 5 million pageviews in august , according to sargent .
not all of the beta shows are guaranteed to graduate to the big leagues .
ideally , every one one of these shows will become a successful moneymaker for us ,
said sargent .
but just like regular tv pilots , not everyone will make it .
still , he says , he’s accepting submissions and will continue to introduce new players into the beta lineup .
and submissions aren’t restricted to technology or educational shows .

what the technology brings to the table is an alternative to the pre , post , and video overlay models of advertising usually seen in web video . services such as asterpix have been moving toward such a model , linking to information or reference sites over advertising alone . personally i find it much more useful and fun to use than current iterations of overlay ads , although i ' m sure video purists will be turned off by how much product placement can be intentionally packed into videos without them even realizing it .
