TechBit: Crowds App Stakes Out New Angles in Social Video

Hayley Tsukayama of The Washington Post writes: With video becoming a bigger part of the social-media sphere, Krowds is offering its own angle at curating social video. In fact, it’s offering lots of angles. The driving idea behind this video app is that it provides a space for multiple people at the same location to submit videos from their own point of view. Although this might have some limited applications, it could be useful for events such as weddings, concerts or speeches.

Will Consumers Continue to Pay for Video Streaming?

Robert Passikoff of Forbes writes up the state of revenue-based video streaming. He writes, "The course-changes this category has been making are extraordinarily different from the ones that were expected, reminiscent, for those who were there at the introduction of the internet, of when access and e-mail, and a raft of what-you-currently-get-for-free, was being charged for. So fact #1: the video streaming category is getting crowded. And, fact #2, it’s getting more than a little competitive, as media companies are moving into streaming video looking for their own new revenue streams." Read the full story here.

Intel Takes a Gamble on Intel TV

Jimmy Schaeffler of Multichannel News opines on the announcement of intel TV, writing, "At this point in telecom history, Intel is the traditional telecom company, with a solid, 60+ year background of performance and development, almost all of it on the hardware/chip side. Thus, for it to be risking what could be a big failure (witness, in part, AppleTV, thus far), based upon what apparently is a big bet on the future of video distribution, is a big deal in my eyes. That speaks to commitment, and very likely a very good plan and technology." Read the full story here.

YouTube is Becoming More Like Normal Television

The Economist writes: One of the most popular videos this month on YouTube, an online video site, is a commercial by a bottled-water firm, Evian. In it, adults walking by a shop window see their baby lookalikes reflected, and start dancing with their former selves. The grown-up YouTube, however, looks nothing like it did in its infancy. Once a warehouse for pirated clips and amateur footage of cats, YouTube has been trying to transform itself into a sleeker, more sophisticated site that can compete with television for advertisers. It will soon look even more like television. On May 9th it is expected to announce that it will charge users for subscriptions to some “channels”.
