Some of the most talked about items on the internet are tech videos on demand. One of the real pioneers of this genre of web video for download is Kevin Rose. He started this trend with the Broken and continued it with System and Diggnation. His Revison 3 company is at the forefront of this digital revolution. Not too long ago, you needed the backing of a major television studio in order to get a show aired. WIth the expansion of this new medium, quality tech programming is being produced on distributed by “individuals” with new ideas.
The only drawback of this video revolution is the same drawback that put an end to smaller developing podcasts —the high cost of bandwidth. The more popular a show gets, the more expensive it becomes to maintain. This is where this mediums differs from traditional television programming that relies heavily on advertsing. The main thing that can save this small productions is the use of a peer to peer program like Bit Torrent.
I am putting together a list of some of my favorite web video shows:
Give some of these shows a try. *Note: Not all of these are “indie” productions/ Digital Life TV is produced by Ziff Davis.
