Could This Woman Drive Broadband Television?
Video blogger Amanda
Congdon attracts a mass
audience -- and TiVo.

...The sudden success of the video blog suggests that
consumers are thirsting for more choices in
video-based entertainment. ... Because of corporate
and political pressures, most TV channels rarely
take chances on innovative and original programming.
... But the video blog, which is personal by definition,
taps into America's growing interest in independent
programming. ...
However, their true potential is on the TV, not the
PC nor the video iPod. PC owners are willing to
watch Ms.Congdon's newscast on their desktops
because it's only three minutes long. (And, she's
very cute.) But if Rocketboom expanded the broadcast
to 30 minutes or more, I suspect that its audience
would fade away. Watching video on the PC (or a
video iPod) for any length of time can get
uncomfortable -- and gets in the way of work if
you're at the office.
But I predict that the video blog -- in short or
long form -- will find its ultimate home in new
Broadband-enabled TVs and set-tops, such as the new
TiVo DVR. With Broadband TV, a viewer could choose
from thousands of programs, such as
video blogs, old TV shows and new movies. Then,
after making his/her choice, the viewer could
download the video and watch it on a big screen.-- best regards,Deirdré Straughan
