“Broadcast Big Money”

Great graphic!

The competition in this field should be good for end users.

I remember back in the good old days when Apple and Google were still pals and Apple tv debuted with the ability to stream YouTube content and everyone was saying, ‘Why the **** would anyone want to watch YouTube on a television?’.

If Google offers it though, it must somehow be better even though it’s identical, right? We are fickle, fickle, people at times.

I hope the next generation of innovators, wherever they are, step the heck up. I feel like it’s 2006 or 2007 all over again lately, everything is recycled but not necessarily new again. Don’t get me started on the corporate-ization of the web. Closed feedback loops don’t really help us, IMHO. . . .

Pick and choose is the only way TV will improve. TV is, for the most part, such a waste of time and effort. A few good documentaries, stressing “few” in all categories, movies, occasional series, hockey, news (CBC, PBS) occasionally. I’d say I want to spend about 8-10 hours a week on media including a movie out. That would be what, 15-20% of one’s leisure time? I usually get my news via radio so eight hours might do it. That’s a work day so maybe I watch too much TV and maybe I can’t count.

There has to be a better way and hopefully Google and Apple are in a good race.

In the meantime, Google is killing off Buzz. What’s up with this? Would be interesting to see John or other go after this piece of news. Never used it but know I would definitely not use anything with a + in it.
