A Conversation with Philippe Dauman of Viacom - Live Blogging @ Web 2.0 Summit
Philippe claims Viacom has created fragmentation and continues it by releasing all John Stewart video from the Daily Show that will searchable and viewable to everyone. They plan on cross linking content with shows like Sarah Silverman and Stephen Colbert.
He talked a little about his law suite on Google and the blatant copyright infringement. He felt that Google was making money off of Viacom content without compensation. Viacom has made deals with Joost which a good revenue system was implemented in the very begin.
When asked about the Viacom loss to Newscorp for MySpace and if Viacom is looking to invest in Facebook, Philippe said that Viacom looks to make widgets for all social networks and to work with them all.
