TechLeader.TV - Design and Web Media by Foxyea.com

Techleader.TV and Foxyea.com go way back. For those that don’t know, TechLeader.TV is an interview format news show, hosted by John Thomas Flynn. Currently in their fourth season, Flynn interviews State of California Technology buyers, in effort to give employees and vendors the inside scoop on the mysterious budgetary movements of California State Agencies. This site is a great example of a Foxyea Digital Special. We start with WordPress and a professional theme, and we work in custom design elements and advertising blocks to accomplish the desired site. We also worked closely with the TechLeader.TV production crew to integrate live playback, and Video On Demand, making the site a great platform for sponsorship and communicating with viewers.

misterlou.com - Director of Film Video Portfolio. Web Media by Foxyea.com.

We built this site for Lou Weinert, director of film and photography. The video portfolio uses Apple Quicktime to provide I Phone compatibility, delivering Lou’s work to his clients smart-phones, free of advertising from video sharing sites. This is the kind of solution a professional needs to have full artistic control over how their work is showcased.

We recently finished a flier for the Reichian Institute in Mendocino California. One of the requirements was that the end product be printed on recycled paper using biodegradable ink. For this, we did the printing through GreenerPrinter.com. The fliers look great, and they proudly bear a recycled materials tagline on the back.

Attended by Sacramento health and service vendors, the summit also featured a presentation from Access Sacramento’s Neighborhood News team, AccessLocal.TV. The presentation included an overview of the campaign by Ron Cooper from Access Sacramento, and Kristian Manoff from Foxyea Web Media. They showcased the new AccessLocal.TV website and WordPress MU interface to a packed conference room, and fielded questions from budding journalists and interested community members. While some in the audience had a lot of questions about the security needs of site with this scope, the majority of the audience wanted to know where to sign up.

Access Sacramento has identified five locations that will host Neighborhood News Bureaus in South Sacramento County. The NNB’s will report their stories using AccessLocal.TV built by Foxyea Web Media and powered by WordPress MU. Along with providing an interface for NNB Reporters, the website also includes the social networking plugin BuddyPress which allows the Reporters and Subscribers to be part of an online community.

Currently in its beta phase, AccessLocal.TV is hoping to build popularity and adoption into the community as an outlet for those voices often overlooked by commercial media.

“We liked AccessLocal.TV because it communicates what we are doing, stewarding media access to Sacramento’s South County area.” Said Ron Cooper, Executive Director.

While the project is initially focusing on the South County area, due to its ethnic diversity and lower economic demographic, the site will feature content from all over California, and beyond. Check out the beta site at:

While blogging gives Internet users a way to quickly publish their ideas, social media gives them a way to communicate with each other. Social media website FaceBook boasts that it has reached over 300 million members. While the level of privacy provided by social media websites is often debated, there is no question as to popularity or the ability of a social network to create a lot of exposure for its users ideas. Thanks to BuddyPress, a plugin for WordPress MU, AccessLocal.TV is also a social media community allowing its members to connect with each other, comment on each others work, as well as leave each other public and private messages.
