New Word for 2007: Unisode

from the Jeff Pulver dictionary:

unisode
Pronunciation[uni-sohd]

- noun

1. a stand alone video production not connected to
related, scenes or stories which otherwise would constitute a
literary work.

2. an incident in the course of a single set of
events, in a person's life or experience, etc.

When I look at content in the world of Internet TV, I divide content into two categories:
Episodes and Unisodes. Sites like Network2 provide a guide to Episodes of “Long Tail Internet TV." The original content found on sites like YouTube and MetaCafe are mostly Unisodes.

To follow your definition, the combined unisodes of a person's life end up telling a story when strung together.

That's why the 'people' category is important on Network2. It allows people to share fleeting moments of their lives, which when viewed as a whole, tell a story.
