Taking some time off over the holidays to do a little rethinking a reworking Web Worth Watching. Coming in 2009...a shift to Wordpress and a dedicated Web Worth Watching website (as soon as I can get it built).
I've also been thinking a lot about online video. For those interested in the topic, there was a great Online Video Summit a few months back. Definitely worth taking a look. Their embed codes are not written correctly but you can view the clips here. It's two parts and part two can be viewed here.
Folks have been discussing the integration of internet and television since the early 90s, but now it's finally started to happen. Although I haven't seen it expressly written in the press, it seems to me that companies like Netflix and Sling Media are almost now (at least for a discerning audience) direct competitors to Comcast, DirecTV, etc. I did an experiment over the summer where I "cut the chord" and began consuming media only through the internet (using a Verizon card - which I had already - through my Mac or the Blanche DuBois-approach with open wi-fi). Turns out, I'm $95 better off each month and haven't missed cable at all.
Anyway, I digress. It's a cool time we're living in. More fascinating ideas in video form soon!
