So last week I hated on VEVO for it's launchday woes. And then later I noted some improvement, and maintained my other complaints. Well, today is more of the same. I'm glad that VEVO displays large videos on the main playback page, however I do not like that the embeds are 575 pixels wide by default. That is a bit too large for blog embedding in general, (especially this one). Oh, and the site makes you disable Adblock Plus in order to watch. YouTube doesn't do that, and either does MTV.
Anyway, today's video, courtesy of a functioning VEVO, is Calle 13's La Perla, featuring Rubén Blades. It's a great song, and the video is low impact - but scenic. If you can't enjoy this then... well i don't know, but something is clearly wrong with you. It's chill. And for what it's worth, it did win a Latin Grammy. Enjoy.
you know what, here's my biggest gripe with VEVO (which has been getting a ton of press today as the CEO responded to a bunch of criticisms and tweets): i don't see a sustainable competitive advantage.
