You’ve stumbed upon one of two blogs by Mark Hall.

I’ve been writing (very) occasionally at this address since December ‘05. I also have an older TypePad blog @ mhallville.typepad.com. This blog is for posts about the Internet; the other is for politics and rants.

New colophon is here.

I work at a start-up with two three five fine colleagues. Our service is called Vodpod. We think it’s simply the best way to collect videos from around the web. Our service is used by Talking Points Memo, TechCrunch, Gigaom, Politico, PaidContent, Time.com, Second Life and many hundreds of thousands of other folks, from bloggers to 15-year-old kids posting their favorite music videos.

Before VodPod:

Progressive Networks then RealNetworks (1997-2004), where I developed popular online audio & video guides, launched our foray into subscription services, ran our international efforts on the consumer side, roughly in chronological order.

Corbis (1995-97), where I produced documentary-style CD-ROMs, one on FDR (permit me a quick boast, Walt Mossberg called it “brilliant”) and another on volcanoes, and also a companion website to Ken Burns’ film on Jefferson. A short, but very fun, job.

Microsoft (1993-1995), editor and producer (aka, entry level plebe) on Complete Baseball and Complete Basketball, both some of the original multimedia encyclopedias on CD-ROM. Claims to fame: sat across from the fish cafeteria for 6 months, and then moved to an office across the hall from Melinda French (now Gates).

And before all that, for a very brief moment in time that is hard for me to believe in retrospect, I worked as a lawyer.

I try to answer mail at mark AT remixation DOT com if you want to get in touch.
