Kairos clients save a drastic 20x in time, money and manpower. The following forumula allows BlueWall to model a client’s current media expenses:
Cost = [ (#ofSources) multiplied by (#ofMarkets * #ofDerivative/Market * Rebatches/10years) multiplied by [Time to Create + Time to Move + Time to Annotate) * Hourly Rate] ]
Put your source master file into what we call our 'magic folder' and from this catalog storage, everything needed for distribution and syndication is automated. What this means is that once you store your highest quality digital master, our system automatically creates the necessary derivatives to hit new media markets and you're able to playback that file everywhere (iPod, smartphone, tablets, IPTV, HTML5, etc.).
Working with our sister company, Monkeyclaus Recording Studio, we encountered the same problems as other content-holders. While we wanted to focus on creating new content, storing, distributing and syndicating our media proved resource draining. We figured if we had to store our source master, that one file should be automated to do everything else that was necessary to share and monetize it...hence, Kairos.
Kairos can be used as an archival-grade content management system, as a digital distribution and delivery platform and/or as a media syndicate.
minmag.net is a powerful, new international social media aggregator and publishing tool especially effective for mining small, focused niches.
Running a search, or “magnet,” will quickly return all sorts of relevant content from searches you’d otherwise have to run separately — photos, Tweets, blog posts, videos — and others that some traditional search engines couldn’t handle at all.
A Google search for “Coca-Cola” is always going to give you http://www.coca-cola.com as its first result; minmag.net is more likely to give you a tweet from somebody who just drank one. Furthermore, our translate feature allows us to mine original sources from around the world. And best of all, since we’ve also developed an extensive API, all of this data is easily integrated with other web sites, services, and applications.
A meme is "an idea, behavior or style that spreads from person to person within a culture." The term "Internet meme" refers to a concept that spreads rapidly from person to person via the Internet, largely through Internet-based email, blogs, forums, Imageboards, social networking sites, instant messaging and video streaming sites such as YouTube.
Using our own API, we’ve come up with several different ways of browsing the content we collect. Sometimes we think of these as generative sculptures and paintings made of data, but we also think you’ll find them quite useful.
BlueWall believes that the future is very different from the past.
To begin, BlueWall's roots are in content creation. Content Holder's perspective is deeply engrained in our business psyche. Our system solves problems and gains efficiencies in a way that content holders can appreciate and depend on. No one else is the market is able to do what what are system does. This is because as we have designed an Engine for two types of Content. 1) Audio and Video Content ingested and curated by the content holder and 2) social media content filtered, collected, and specified by the content holder. In this regard, the BlueWall Media Engine is groundbreaking. No other system provides such bi-directional content infrastructure and features
