The future of TV is online, duh!
TV is dead. Long live TV!
Seriously, TV is dead. Ok, maybe this is an overstatement, but I think Internet TV will be on the rise, and fast. I believe Internet TV will be the next YouTube craze, Internet video on the TV, yay!
Right now there are a growing number of services like hulu.com and the big networks streaming video services are making this happen slowly but surely. Application’s like Apple’s Front Row, Boxee, and XBMC are emerging as solutions to allow us to be entertained on our computers.
More important is that these so-called TV “solutions” allow us to now connect a computer to your TV, any computer, like that one sitting dormant in your basement (or storage container in your buildings’ basement, as in my case).
I think services like blip.tv and justin.tv are a new arena that something like this might be ready to distribute as well.
I especially think the time is right for an online variety show… like a recent event I attended in Tribeca last weekend called Pillow Talk, like an SNL broadcasted online. This is a niche in online video that could take off… especially based in NY.
