“If online video watching continues at its current rate of growth, in just under 5 years, almost every American with an Internet connection (i.e., the vast majority of Americans, period) will be watching video online.”
Brandon Ray’s short clip for Vimeo’s Festival + Awards.
“The simple fact is that cable companies like Comcast (CMCSA) and Time Warner (TWX) not only distribute the majority of the set-top boxes in the U.S, they also have a strong hold over content providers. Unless Google can convince them that their current business model is in need of something like Google TV, pushing the platform into the mainstream is likely to prove quite difficult.”
I have been “clicking” around on Clicker recently. Beside television, movie and music contents, Clicker also offers a large quantity of web original contents. I am a big fan of web originals and I hope Clicker will soon become a major venue for web originals to get the exposure they deserve. In addition to the recently launched Clicker Live, where it organizes and indexes live streams on the web, I have a feeling I will be going back and forth between Hulu and Clicker quite a bit.
