The Quiet Brilliance of YouTube’s Chad Hurley

Chad Hurley, CEO, Youtube The kick-off panel for OnHollywood last night featured a star-studded lineup: Moderator Carson Daly, YouTube CEO Chad Hurley, Sling Media CEO Blake Krikorian, MP3tunes CEO Michael Robertson, and former MySpace chairman Rich Rosenblatt.  Never mind the panel’s topic.  A group like this veers in tangents from the start.  Central to the draw, no doubt, was Hurley, the young CEO of the worldwide phenomenon YouTube.  But Hurley’s not the guy you’d imagine.  He sat relaxed and never spoke above a polite tone, appearing like a Buddhist monk relative to the others.  If anything, he was the antithesis of Michael Robertson, who seemed most focused on displaying his vast expertise to the audience.

onHollywood Organizers Get It Right - They Put Bloggers Front and Center

onHollywood It seems like a no-brainer that conferences that deal with the topics of new media and technology "get it". Not so. It is sad to see that some organizers of these conferences talk the talk, but don't walk the walk. For example, the Milken Institute Global Conference held last week restricted access to "major business and financial outlets".
