Experiences NOT Products...
I saw that ExpoTV got another round of funding today. I remember Troy sending me the link to that website awhile back. I still can't its video player to play nice with safari.
So here I am browsing the website checking it out. When you browse the videos you see all these various products, this video, that book, that cosmetic, that car, this thing etc.. and I think to myself somethings wrong here.. these are just products. I think people get products to have experiences, and experiences are what we should be talking about.
I always wanted to do a video series on experiences that ROCK and or SUCK. Simple, clean, and neat. I'd almost rather see on this website a breakdown of expectations, experiences, hopes, desires and pessimistic woes. And then underneath that you see the products. Cause I think people dont walk into a product blindly, we expect it to do something, we have feelings all bundled up long before it arrives. We know it should be this way or that way, sure even a good movie, we're thinking about what's happening the whole time, did he do it, did she kill x, oh my god it was the butler!
Anyways.. a site showing a bunch of products makes me feel cheap surfing it. It makes sense to sort and find things but I also immediately feel like I can't trust it. Something about how its up on the stage for all to consume, screaming down at me, staring at me saying.. HEY I JUST USED DOVE'S EXPRESS LOVE SOAP BAR... READ.,..ER... VIEW ME!!
It feels like a push, a come on, a hey there, a please watch me so I get paid sort of thing.
I then see reviews on stuff I think its hilarious, who cares what this kid thought about the Cars DVD. This is one video out of a billion people on the planet on a video that has a very low, if any threshold of impacting my life. There's another factor we didn't even consider, impact.
I'd much rather see videos sorted by experiences that ROCKED or SUCKED, then by impact, pessimistic slant, hopeful revival, lusty capture, and casual desirable.
Now there's something to surf. Let's see gimme some experiences that you approached with a pessimistic slant.. or better yet, just show me all the ones that ROCKED.
