SNL Kagan’s broadcast experts give us a hint on industry’s future where internet presence and digital multiplatorm distrbution strategies will be key.

Internet based video grows
and innovate
From Fora.tv, a very interesting session from The Paley Center for Media’s International Council 2009 NYC.
An event about next big things happening in the digital media space, bringing together companies from different experiences that try to innovate and create value.
Among them it was interesting to hear on crowdsourcing radio Jelli, onlinevideo and tv client aggregator/social media center Boxee, video platform Freewheel.tv, iphone social apps Tapulous.
It liked particularly gdgt on creating social experiences around gadgets, interesting their view that …”gadgets themselves have activity streams”. Also i liked hotpotato for connecting people on online events, in their words it’s about “collective storytelling”
Enjoy it.
il daily Chart dell’economist di oggi ci fa riflettere sull’evoluzione di uno dei segmenti rilevanti del mercato dei contenuti digitali, i dvd, ed in particolare sulle evoluzioni delle tecnologie e sugli impatti di queste sulle abitudini di consumo.
L’articolo – Is the DVD dying? – A faltering format – commenta i consumi stabili o in declino del prodotto dvd verso un trend a livello globale del video on demand (VOD) che è in crescita.
Il servizio di video on demand entra sempre di più nelle abitudini di consumo quotidiano e può esprimere al meglio tutte le potenzialità di una distribuzione multipiattaforma: Cavo, IPTV, Online, …
Alcune notizie recenti rafforzano questi concetti, tra le altre:
– Sony Adds Netflix Streaming to Bravia Net-Connected TVs
– French Xbox owners to get Canal+ content
– Study: Web Video ‘Protail’ As Entertaining As TV
Rileggo con piacere inoltre un vecchio ma sempre giovane articolo di Negroponte su Wired che tocca un tema che ha ancora grandi spazi evolutivi, il ruolo ed il rapporto di forza nel mercato tra broadcast media e on demand media:
Prime Time Is My Time: The Blockbuster Myth
…..ed in particolare – “My point is simple: the broadcast model is what is failing. “On-demand” is a much bigger concept than not-walking-out-in-the-rain or not-forgetting-a-rented-cassette-under-the-sofa-for-a-month. It’s consumer pull versus media push, my time — the receiver’s time — versus the transmitter’s time.”
