Living TV, HG TV and Food Network online

June 30, 2006

HGTV Video Guide. See also the partner sites: Living.com and Food Network. Streaming TV channels 24 hours a day.

It’s good to see information proliferating in the audio-visual sector. I know my friends in the search community are scratching their heads over how ultimately we will discover this kind of information.

IE 7

June 29, 2006

I hear people say we are heading for a new browser war. Maybe. It’s important because the browser is our first port of call with the external world, the tool we use to encounter the network of networks. There could hardly be a more important piece of software. Read the rest of this entry »

Podcasts

Pluggd podcast community launched today

Seattle based start-up Pluggd opened their podcast directory for public use today; the company aims to make podcast listening easier for nontechnical users.

That’s the take from TechCrunch. Interesting how podcasting is getting organised. I’m hoping to launch my own podcast series next week which is part of the reason I’m spending a day in Dublin, sitting in with Microsoft Vista developers and then with podcastingireland.ie sorting out the pod.

As a journalist I never did radio but like everybody else now there’s nothing stopping me.

Blip TV

June 21, 2006

Mike Hudack, the CEO of Blip.tv, is on a mission to rescue videobloggers from video hosting sites and services that "aren't about individual empowerment." He feels that most of the video sites snag all the digital rights they can and make money on the backs of other people's work. Which sites? You(tube) know which ones.

Blip.tv, the videoblogger's control panel – Alpha Blog – alpha.cnet.com

This is a fascinating development, fascinating because few people have been thinking critically about the You Tube type business model.

Blip.tv is not to be confused with bliptv.com.

Cross Platform

June 21, 2006

The Standard (the London evening paper) is trialing a broadband TV portal service, which will allow users access to on-demand video footage of news stories and user-generated content, on the Cube TV platform. Video classifieds would be broken down into sections like property and entertainment.

UK: Standard to launch broadband TV portal – Editors Weblog

An interesting one for people who wonder what the growing number of IPTV players are up to and how the IPTV platform providers will ultimately divide the market.

Personally I'd always assumed the multichannel portal would have been a user-generated knowledge base.
