(Above: Video Interview with Mark Hendrickson of Techcrunch, if you’re reading this in a feedreader or email subscription, please visit the post)

Mark is one of the new young editors at TechCrunch, I was really pleased to have lunch with him at Counters, a great burger joint in Palo Alto.

We have a common interest, as he used my list of White Label Social Networking companies to develop analysis of these 9 companies, 34 more, and then built out a useful matrix. These all help the web strategist in their decision making.

I ask Mark what the thinks of the industry, find out what TechCrunch says to these questions:

A summary of who’s who in the White Label Social Network

Who’s the Underdog we should watch for?

What companies are over-hyped?

Thanks Mark, we look forward to more of your coverage of the space. If you like these mini interviews I do with technologists, let me know, give me your feedback.

Why do you call them two minutes when they’re over 120mb?

Or is your encoding just making the file big. It’s the only thing that put me off watching the last one, I’m assuming this one is the same?

Two minutes is the duration of the video, not file size.

I suspect for some reason, you’re downloading the file, but instead it should be streaming in a flash player. Do you have flash installed?

As soon as I click play it asks me to download, Ive never had flash issues in the past

hmm

Yes I understand 2 minutes is length, but thats awfully large if it is only 2 minutes

Glen,

Are you originally clicking the video from a feedreader or email subscription. That will ask you to download the file, even if you’re downloading the flash video file it appears to be only 7.2 mb.

Not quite sure what specifically is happening to give you the issues your getting, but the feedreader/email idea jumped out as being a possible cause (because I made the same error).
