VizWorld Features
VizWorld regularly covers industry news and events that you can’t find anywhere else. We catalog all of it here as VizWorld Features for you to easily find it, but if you really want to stay aware of the latest news in the industry, you should join our bi-weekly Mailing List!
If you have news you want to share, then drop us a line and we would love to talk to you!
A bit of a public service announcement here folks, but for the next day or two VizWorld will be joining the ranks of those opposed to the US censorship bills SOPA & PIPA thanks to CloudFlare’s new app. For the next day or two, newcomers to the site will see the “censored” Version of VizWorld. Simply clicking on any of the censored areas will reveal why, and allow the user to disable the effect. It’ll only happen the first time a user visits so it’s not terribly annoying, although the reality of the internet if the bill passes is truly scary indeed.
If you’re not already familiar with the bills, visit the Stop American Censorship website. In addition, you can help spread the word by sharing links to VizWorld to your friends (which will appear in their Censored form, helping to spread the word).

We represent several online publications looking for online advertising sales reps. Some sales experience required – but more importantly is a comfort with cold calling on companies. We need someone to build some email and phone campaigns and pitch them with creativity and passion. We’ll point you to the right companies – your job will be to find the right contacts and introduce them to the publications and pitch them on advertising. These are pretty simple, straightforward sales. Compensation is commission only – but a very good commission. You work your own hours – from your own home or office. Candidate needs excellent email and phone skills as well as basic Internet search skills. Potential to represent multiple publications translates to increased income.
Interested?
Send us your pitch. Send a letter introducing yourself. Tell us what you have been doing the past several years, why you think you are a good candidate for this type of position, and why you want this job.

If you have any photos or video of amazing stuff at the show, send it in! Shoot an email to [email protected] with anything you’ve got, and maybe we’ll feature it on the Website or in an upcoming VizWorld Podcast (with full attribution & links if requested).
So fire up those iPhones and start shooting!

This week in Viz is a special episode covering everything about the exciting cloud gaming product from OnLive. OnLive was kind enough to send me a review unit and an account, and I put both the hardware unit and their software offering through the paces on some Duke Nukem Forever and F3AR, and the results are simply amazing.
Watch the video for all the details!
