Video content via blip.tv and lifecasting on at Justin.tv

We now have a cool way to showcase some recent project samples courtesy of Blip.tv.

This is a free embedded player they designed. It may make it’s way onto the main site of CM Creative very soon. Click the “GUIDE” to find other samples.



It is sites like this that will drive bandwith costs down and push the Internet convergence with traditional broadcasting. No longer will it be a 500-channel universe but an infinitum channel interworld.

As access and creation tools become easier and less costly, I would expect to see an onslaught of niche Internet based shows that will go head to head with traditional broadcasting shows. We may not see something on the lines of NBC or CBS but look at the extended cable network programming and you will see a glimpse of internet broadcasting…but different.

And as different goes and grows. Have a look at Justin.tv as a post-modern reality-television programming experiment. It’s already wildly popular at only 41 days online and an incredible idea.

They have coined it “Lifecasting”.

Definitely an evolutionary mashup from jennicam.com, Big Brother and social media networking like Twitter, Facebook and Jaiku. Oh and we should add a little voyeurism sprinkled on top.

I hope they are cashing in.
