Santa Vids is coming, seriously
If you haven't felt it yet, it means you're having a busy life in the real world (congrats!), but you're missing an arrival. Santa Vids. The New York Times said it here, "the potential of new streaming video services — fast, full screen and in sharp resolution — is unleashing a torrent of movies and television shows." There will probably be much more video programs which are coming to the Internet. Soon, households are getting all broadbanded — 25% of them already are —, streaming shows will be the new black, and you would have to bond your TV set to your broadband modem to watch TV.
Beyond this tsunami, another situation, much of those videos are "aimed at narrowly defined audiences that can't find niche programming even on cable systems with 500 or more channels" ... The niche inside the niche, in another words, giving you the feeling to be lost as you could feel now, with the deluge of quick news.
Let's get prepared. Let's build a guide to videos. We don't say it would be the answer, the magic tool to make you find the right program at the right time — we'd be cocky to assert that — but at least, with something like ZeBoudoir, you'll have a good radar to ride the video trend much more easier. That's our reaction.
And the tool has to be collective, because no one could spend that much time watching all the programs, especially if we combine TV programs from every country, for every audience.
Right now, the tool that we mentioned looks an empty place. We've just moved in, as you do we presume. The cardboard boxes are still creeping the place, the freezer doesn't contain cold beers yet and there aren't many programs to review. But it's the beginning, we're working on a couple of new features planned for the next weeks.
For now, remember that ZeBoudoir is your place. You could hang out where you want, edit single pages — it's the wiki way — and shape this place as you wish.
