A proposal from WikiLeaks to create a ‘Switzerland of Bits’ — an offshore publishing safe haven in Iceland. If you’re interested, you can read this very interesting interview with one of the organization’s founders.

Looking forward to some great panels at NATPE this month. Here’s the whole scoop from the Tubefilter Team Blog:

NATPE 2010 is coming up in a few weeks (January 25 - 27), and we’ve got this cool video about paramecium and television executives to prove it. And in a long awaited change, NATPE is billing itself this year as a multi-platform video content conference.

Tubefilter is presenting a panel, Relevant Ratings in a Distributed Content Ecosystem on January 26, moderated by our CEO, Brady Brim-DeForest, who will be joined by:

• Rafi Mamalian, West Coast Advertising Director at Blip.tv;
• John McCarus, VP, Group Director, Brand Content, at The Third Act: a unit of Digitas;
• Claudia Cahill, EVP Corporate Development, at Medium, Levity Entertainment Group; and
• Dean Logan, Director of Research and Development, Video Products, at comScore.

A couple of these folks (John and Brady), will also appear earlier in the day on a second digital panel, Of the Web, By the Web, For the Web, produced by the IAWTV. They will be joined by moderator and IAWTV Chair, Michael Wayne, the Co-Founder & CEO of DECA, and George Ruiz, Head of New Media/SVP Business Affairs, at International Creative Management.
