Rocketboom, the tremendously popular daily videoblog starring Amanda Congdon, has decided to accept advertising within their daily news stories. They report on a wide range of topics, from news to culture. They are conducting an Ebay auction for their first week's commercials -- bids have already exceeded $10,000 with more than seven days to go!


Inspired, the Technology Evangelist Team has decided to borrow some of Rocketboom's brilliance and make a similar offer to our prospective advertisers. You may now participate in our Ebay auction for exclusive ad placements in five of our HD videos.

Be the First on the Web to Advertise in HD!

Technology Evangelist produces downloadable HDTV video interviews, product demos and commentary on emerging technology trends.

Our audience views this content through web browsers, video players like iTunes & Quicktime, on HD televisions and using video iPods. These videos are published in 480p, 720p and 1080p formats, as well as MP3 audio podcasts -- all on TechnologyEvangelist.com.

Rocketboom has great content (we love it), an impressive audience and a great advertising opportunity. We are so impressed, we're blatantly copying them!


Auction Description:

Technology Evangelist delivers an uber-techie audience . . . all in HD. This is an auction for exclusive sponsorship of five yet-to-be-released videos from the 2006 CES Show in Las Vegas. Each video is 3-5 minutes long. Your company and its product or service will be featured in two spots in each video (10 total commercials).

First Spot: Your company, product, service or logo will be displayed with a voiceover: "This video is brought to you by ________" after the introduction.

Second Spot: A 15 second ad promoting your company, product or service will run at the end of each video. You may forward us a pre-produced commercial or we will produce an ad for you for free.

Audience Description:
