Small Dog on Rocketboom!

ByMike Moffit

I was working at my desk yesterday, when a call came through from a woman with an english accent. Turns out it was Joanne Colan, the new host over at Rocketboom.com – one of the coolest, most fun (and informative) video blogs on the internet! Rocketboom is hugely popular – they’ve truly figured out how to make syndicated web-based video work. From their website:

“Rocketboom is a three minute daily videoblog based in New York City. We cover and create a wide range of information and commentary from top news stories to quirky internet culture. Agenda includes releasing each new clip at 9am ET, Monday through Friday. With a heavy emphasis on international arts, technology and weblog drama, Rocketboom is presented via online video and widely distributed through RSS.

Rocketboom is currently one of the most popular videoblogs on the internet with more daily subscribers for original syndicated multimedia content than nearly any other site, including podcasts.”

The subject of this show was “webcam adventures.” Smalldog.com has had live webcams since 1995 (I mistakenly said 2001 in the interview.) We consider the webcams to be an important part of our website. Right now four of them are down for upgrading and maintenance, but we will always have some form of live video available on Smalldog.com.

Small Dog Electronics has a great interest in creative uses for web-distributed video. It was an honor to be part of Rocketboom for a few seconds!

  • VT Tax Holiday Is This Saturday, March 6!

    Vermont is having a sales tax holiday this Saturday, March 6! There will be no sales tax on items that cost $2,000 or less. This could save you some serious dough if you’re upgrading your own computer, your family’s Macs, or just want to grab some fun gadgets. The savings can add up, as sales tax in Vermont is 6%, and even 7% in a couple of towns (South Burlington, Williston).

    We’re celebrating with a 24-hour sales event at our South Burlington retail store. The store will open at 12:01 AM and close at 11:59 PM. Our Waitsfield store will be open with regular business hours on Saturday, we’ll have additional telephone coverage, and our warehouse will be busy packing orders all day.

    We’ll be posting semi-delirious midnight tweets and Facebook updates from our Burlington store all night long. Follow us on Twitter as hellosmalldog or friend us on Facebook

    Note that everyone who lives outside of Vermont gets to order tax-free from Smalldog.com every day (we don’t charge sales tax on orders that ship out of Vermont).
