The Free Line is based on the concept of “Moving the Free Line” — the idea that you can grow your business, faster and more effectively, by giving away more.
Today is the age of short attention spans where interruption ads bombard us every waking minute. If you want to get more new customers, you’re better off figuring out how to give more — a lot more — first.
About the Free Line Report:
The Free Line Report is a short video podcast about internet marketing, online video, Web 2.0, and e-business.
With less than two minutes per day, you can keep up with the latest news you can use.

Here’s the new circlecube logo! I’ve had it for a while, but hadn’t uploaded it.
I still have to update my theme to incorporate it. I like the green transparent circlecube graphic in the header now but it’s gotta go… and plus it’s a little too green.

Introducing our new Free IQ player! It’s got lots of new bells and whistles, and is the first player on the internet to directly incorporate e-commerce.
Let us take you through the tour of:
Our new “scrub bar”
Volume controls
The playlist
Full screen mode
Author information
IQpons
The term “scrub bar” refers to widgetry for moving back and forth in the video. Pictured in the middle of the bottom control bar, it shows you the elapsed time out of the total and the amount of the video loaded. Skip forward or back within the loaded area by simply clicking on the bar or even “scrub” through the video by dragging the handle.
Click the volume icon for interactive volume settings and a mute button inside the video panel.
Full screen is one of our most exciting features! Get ready for Free IQ immersion!
The text in the middle of the screen tells you that you can press ESC to exit full screen. The player control at the bottom disappears after a few seconds and re-appears when click on the screen.
Select among related content with the playlist. Note the presence of our estimation of the quality of the content through your input, ReviewRank.
Click the graphic of a person to access the author panel and learn more about this content’s author and jump to his homepage at Free IQ.
With the IQPon, you can hire a Free IQ author for direct consultation! Anyone can create an IQpon product at Free IQ, so put your expertise to work today.
For authors who are not offering consulting services, this button is replaced with Share — the broadcast icon on the far right of the control bar.
From Share, you can get code to put the video on your page, or mail to a friend. This is available in the tabbed widget from Author Info or Playlist as well.
Thanks to Andy Beard for the his writeup of Free IQ today. His core complaint about our player, an inability to get to the product page, is now resolved. You can reach the authors homepage from within the Author Info tab, or the homepage of the currently playing video from the FreeIQ logo on the control bar.
What This Means To You
These improvements have advantages for you, no matter how you use FreeIQ:
As a user - you get an improved user experience, with more viewing options and the ability to easily find out more information on the author or the subject.
As an affiliate - you get more sales, because viewers are more likely to click through to content, the author’s site, or FreeIQ in general. Plus, with ecommerce enabled in the player itself, you’re more likely to get a sale!
As a content provider - users are more likely to watch your video all the way through and to click to your site. Plus, full screen mode makes it so that screen-capture-type videos are more readable, so the learning experience you provide is enhanced.
We think you’ll find this new viewer to be a very cool step forward. We’d like to hear your reactions too by adding a comment below! Try it out with one of the links below:

The new splash is in effect for Mazamedia’s 5th anniversary!
I just re-vamped Mark Callahan’s splash on his Mazamedia.com
Re-vamped as in made interactive innovative and fun. I was just playing with different effects and wanted to see it in action, so I applied it to Mark’s splash intro. He liked it so much he wanted to put it live on his site. That’s cool with me, thanks Mark.

Here is a website I made for an old band I was in, Reason. The site is all html. I tried to push to navigation in a unique direction, some call it annoying (hint: use the scroll bars). I also designed most art and band art (posters, fliers, album art, etc).
