Thursday, May 2, 11:45 a.m. - 1: 15 p.m.
Mike Lopez, Sales Engineer, SnapStream
Tom Erickson, Master Deputy, Johnson County Sheriff's Office

We are excited to support the Kansas Association of Public Information Officers (KAPIO) at their annual conference this week, as the platinum level sponsor. PIOs from across the state will be congregating to learn from one another's communities and organizations, focusing on takeaways from "real world PIO experiences."

Enjoy More Ways to Monitor TV

NAB is next week! Meet with us to get a personalized demo of SnapStream's new cloud sharing technology, as well as an exclusive look at upcoming, unreleased features. See how easy it is to skip to a topic of interest with the new interactive transcript viewer; monitor TV on-the-go from your tablet; and watch live TV from the Web Player for Mac and PC.

Schedule a meeting with us in South Upper Hall SU4721 and you'll be entered to win a free flat-screen TV. How awesome is that?

Getting Interactive

Tomorrow SnapStream will be participating at Journalism Interactive 2013, a new conference focused on intertwining journalism education and digital media. Host of the second annual event, the University of Florida houses one of the top 10 journalism schools in the country.

Scholars, practitioners, teachers and students, from universities near and far, will congregate at Journalism Interactive to share their successful approaches for delivering journalism education in today's metamorphic media space.

We want toys!

Tech toys, that is. We, at SnapStream, have an obsession with shiny new gadgetry. And during the holiday season, our tech-lust gets extreme. Here's what's topping our collective wish list for this year.

By human nature, we all love new things: The rush of adopting the latest technology. The smell of a new car. The opening night at the movies.

The excitement of a new release of SnapStream.

Today we're rolling out 5.7, which expands the scope of recording, searching and managing TV from your Web browser. Schedule your upgrade with our support team to gain access to these useful, new features:

1. Display search results by TV show

A new user-level setting allows you to auto-collapse search results by TV show, creating a macro view of all mentions. In this example, the results are collapsed by TV show, displaying an overview of where the search term Obama appears. Click the arrows to expand the results.

Because TV is our world, we are very excited to exhibit at Content and Communications World, November 14 - 15, at booth #856.

SnapStream enables TV show creatives to easily search TV and incorporate TV clips into their programs. Shows like The Soup, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report all tap into SnapStream's endless supply of up-to-the-minute pop culture and news clips.

This is the time we live in: the "clip culture."

Video clips are suddenly everywhere. They have jumped from the Internet and splattered all over TV. Talk shows, entertainment/comedy shows and even hard-hitting news programs have all added TV clips into the mix of writing and production.

Remember the days when your teacher would roll in a TV cart from the school library?

You knew what that meant. TV in the classroom = awesome. The day's lesson was about to come alive through video.

When we spotted this picture on George Takei's Facebook page the other day, it made us smile, because it represents a significant trend in education. And we put our own little spin on it.
