The promise
Boing Boing: Promise TV — PVR records a month’s worth of shows from all channels
“What the Promise does is grab the entire broadcast TV multiplex — all the channels being broadcast in the UK — slices them up according to the free, over-the-air electronic programming guide, and stores an entire month’s worth. Why program a TiVo to get certain shows for you when you can record every single show on the air, all at once, and then use recommendations, search, a grid, or any other means you care to name to figure out which of those thousands and thousands and thousands of hours of programming you want to watch.”
Wow..

Shoot, Mix and Share Video
//// Welcome to eyespot ////
Just came upon this interesting new platform for online video editing. Flash based and targeted to non-video folk. I like the MMS submission process for mobile users and blog publishing though I wish it created a feed for use in things like FireANT. Guess that is a bit hard when everything is Flash video based.
From the site:
Shoot, Mix, and Share your Video.
Use the eyespot Mixer to combine your videos, photos and music. Share your video and mixes with the world for Free.
YouTube success brings lawyers
A Video Clip Goes Viral, and a TV Network Wants to Control It – New York Times
From the article:
When a video clip goes “viral,” spreading across the Web at lightning speed, it can help rocket its creators to stardom. Alas, the clip can also generate work for corporate lawyers.
Video BOMB (down) or Rocket (up)
Video Bomb – Front Page
From the site:
Video Bomb is a community site where people filter up the best videos on the internet. It’s creates a democratically chosen flow of internet TV.
Interesting but I still have to ask Why? The top material on the internet has no trouble being distributed. Perhaps there should be a threshold system where we only see the videos that haven’t hit a certain level but are above some other level…
