I have been pondering starting a site which would house as many apple media things as I can get my hands on. I have the sources, but I don't know much about web hosting. Obviously this site need to be flipping sweet, and have some decent bandwidth, so anyone have any recomendations? Want to help?
 
Hey rondezvous. I was thinking all apple media. TV ads of course, magazine ads, in store material, billboards, media apperances, anything cool! I know I would love a site for that.
 
Sounds like a great idea. I'd suggest talking to the people at applemedia.com about taking their domain first. Once you start to get a wealth of material, then I'd start doing web design. Once you have a pretty good start on running the website, go ahead and get a hosting company, and you will be set! Update us with what you do, it could be a great site (a quick Google search didn't turn up anything like it). What's your timeframe for doing this?

Yeah, I was checking out domains. I can get appleadvert.com, which I think would work well, uncommon yet specific.
 
Take a gander at bluewho.com, good value and the service is second to none, I usually get a reply to email within 20 minutes, 24/7. If you need a hand with any PHP/MySQL/XHTML/CSS/Flash/Actionscript etcetcetc drop me a msg.

A site with past keynotes and interviews would go down very well. I can imagine bandwith issues though.

Is that even possible? The keynotes are usually streaming video... I'm not sure it's possible to save those for placement on a different server (not to mention copyright issues, and Apple isn't afraid to sue people)

There are keynotes vids flying around...might even be a torrent of the latest keynote available over at MTKA now...or so a little birdy tells me ;)
 
look at the first frame of the last keynote (and any other keynote for that matter). it says, apple... copyright... blah blah... dont redistribute... fines... apple legal will whip your a$$ if you do anything with this keynote but watch it yourself... blah blah.

anyone think of that?
 
Don't expect to receive advertising revenue for this venture. Apple legal would be all over you.
