SiliconANGLE.tv – theCUBE – Video Trailer

Watch this video to get a feel for SiliconANGLE.tv’s flagship telecast #theCUBE.  Our mission is simple – to bring the best quality in-depth blog, tweets, and live video coverage from the most important technology events around the world.

SiliconANGLE and Wikibon are revinting the future in media. We love what we do.  Enjoy our Cube trailer.  The Cube is our flagship.  If you’re interested in sponsoring theCube please contact me directly.

Hope to see everyone at VMWorld in Las Vegas and if not catch the live coverage and spotlights.

Guests, Conversations, and Spotlights: 

Content Program:  70+ Guests and 19 Spotlights
Total Spotlights:  19 Spotlights

Like SiliconANGLE’s other Cube broadcasts we’ll feature “conversation” interviews from top executives, thought leaders, and subject matter experts.  In the past everyone loved our CUBE format of in-depth hours of conversations – all independent and unfiltered.  However, we heard from many of you that it was sometimes too much and not organized.  Our solution – adding Spotlights.

In addition to our normal amazing “conversations’ with our guests, we will be introducing Spotlights.  Spotlights are topics and interests organized around the relevant trends important to customers and end users that intersect with VMWorld 2011.

Think of Spotlights like “what trending” at VMWorld 2011 –  the difference is we cover those trends – Spotlights- like a blanket with executive and experts sharing their knowledge.

Spotlights are part of SiliconANGLE’s independent content program with help from our research partner Wikibon.org.  Some spotlights require in-depth research and analysis.

You’ll notice something different as well this year.  We have sponsors who have recognized the excellence in the programming and the amazing amount of programming (4days x 8 hrs).  These leading companies have sponsored us so we can continue to bring to you the highest level of quality content.  Our goal is to keep innovating.  Like we always do we have no problem disclosing who and what is sponsored.  For the folks who know SiliconANGLE you know that we arenot afraid to disclose who the sponsors are.  If you watch VMworld 2011 you will see how much we “amplfy” our sponsors during our independent media broadcast.  If we didn’t have sponsors we would not be able to provide such in-depth coverage with over 7o interviews and 19 spotlights (see sponsor section below).

What’s New:   Spotlights

The Spotlights we will be broadcasting over 4 days – total 19 Spotlights
