Quote: "Look at Live Earth concerts this past weekend," said Tapscott. "More than 10,000 ‘Friends of Live Earth’ events were pulled together in 130 countries."
"People around the world could go online for background materials, event guidelines, suggestions for running a green event, advice on how to receive a concert satellite feed, and updates when additional materials such as short films became available. Television can’t do these sorts of things."
I do this all the time.. In fact I can’t enjoy watching TV anymore without my laptop close at hand. Whether I’m figuring out the car my favorite celeb drives, getting back-story on news items, or trying to get spoiler info for a show I’m watching, I choose the web. TV without the Web is like peanut butter without jelly.. it’s an incomplete equation for me.
Absolutely. I have blogged about this a couple of times and have seen the Internet TV/VOD up close, and its very good. No HD yet (bandwidth) but the production and distribution costs are lower than traditional methods, as well as virtually unlimited channels. I met with Omnimedia’s (former) Head of Broadcast and he is heavily invested in Internet TV.
Internet TV = Web 3.0?
Hi,
I have to disagree…Whats is happing now with “web TV” is not what going to be the “happing” spot…in a very short time.
Peace,

Call it web in tv, or tv in web…no matter how the convergence is reached, these two media channels will be integrated in one another. There is no real need to favour one or the other, because they’ll both be the same.
There is no way that TV could survive as it is today….
There is no way the internet could evolve without audiovisual content…
It is happening already, we just don’t know the final details or platforms that will be standard on this field.
