Walt Mossberg Watches Internet TV
Walt Mossberg: It's Not All YouTube -- The Web Is a Trove Of Watchable Videos
"In various corners of the Web, people are producing real, episodic TV shows, including news, drama and comedy -- sometimes with real actors and professional production values. Some of these longer-form, episodic shows are called video blogs, or vlogs, but others simply call themselves shows. Instead of lasting just a few minutes, they can run up to half an hour. These programs have more in common with regular broadcast and cable shows than with those emailed clips.
One of these days, a real hit show will emerge on the Web."
"Yet another worthwhile site is Network2.tv, which attempts to aggregate a wide variety of Web videos in one place."

It was great to see Walt Mossberg put a spotlight on the world of episodic Internet TV.
I enjoyed seeing Walt mention many of the companies and Internet TV shows that will be attending Spring 2007 Video on the Net from March 19-22nd in San Jose. Just yesterday at VON Mexico I mentioned that our friends involved in Internet TV represent the "Hollywood of the Future." Ot is great to see this vision shared by Walt in his column today.
Companies and Internet TV shows mentioned in Walt's column include: blip.tv, brightcove, Network2.tv; Shows: RocketBoom, TikiBar TV, Goodnight Burbank, Alive in Baghdad, Cube News 1, HotRoast, The Ministry of Unknown Science, Josh Leo.

Wow... thank you for your suuport and enthusiasm, Walt. THE VENICE WALK http://www.thevenicewalk.com is an original Internet Dramedy Series revolving around a retired NYPD Gang Detective (Robert Hegyes, WELCOME BACK, KOTTER) turned Propbation Officer and his seven juvenile delinquents who attend Venice High School. Write what you know... I am a proud parent of four teenagers, I live in Venice and have been a full-time substitute at Venice HS.
It's been a trip filled with gratitude and a great cast that makes the possiblilites of entertainment excellence on the Internet so worthwhile. Thanks for visiting the web site; we'll be airing our first webisode in a few weeks, and would appreciate your feedback.
Warmest regards,

I wouldn't want to be an investor in movie theatres right now, unless they convert to online multimedia centers. Newspapers aren't dead either, but a lot of covergences, talked about for a long time, are now coming more together.
