“Could this finally be the season for Web TV?”


Maybe it’s just me, but looking at that TV, the last thing I’m getting is a desire to interact with youtube; it makes me want to go to some tropical or Caribbean island and lay in a hut reading for a while before diving into the ocean to cool off.
So, not to knock Samsung, but if the picture of your connected TV makes me want to go somewhere far away from both connectivity and TVs…well, I’m not sure that’s the brand message you’re trying to communicate.
Unless your message is “Watching Two and a Half Men on this baby will make you feel like you’re lounging somewhere in the Antilles with all of your friends from every online community you’ve ever joined!” In which case you should be either fired, set ON fire, or both.

About

I do lots of things. I'm kind of weird that way.

First and foremost, I'm the Director of Content Partnerships at Blip.tv, where you can discover the best in original web series.

Before that, I ran a consulting company focused on entertainment and government entities called Spytap Industries. In a previous life I helped create United Talent Agency's online division - the first major agency division devoted to representing and monetizing online content.

I also contribute to Here's Some Awesome, a collaborative video curation site that showcases the awesome in online video.

From time to time I write essays on topics of interest from politics, to the future of mass media, to the effects that online content and piracy are having on traditional media. They normally go here. (Latest example: "On Wikileaks")

This is my personal blog, So while it probably doesn't need to be said, all of the opinions here are solely my own or those of the people I reblog.
