from current.com

viewer created television network.

emphasizes that it's NOT youtube on television.

(url correction) not .com

(sometimes plurk bugs me) -.- www.current.tv

not .com

admits they made many mistakes initially - turned away a lot of content - had to fit very strict goals.

Realized they weren't open enough.

Decided they needed to make the site a "big social news and information party."

Instead of making a platform for TV participation... Make a platform for *all* kinds of participation and put the best on TV.

ok nm, looks like it is also current.com

TV with an API:

Internet: big, open federated

Interaction happens everywhere

Harness what people are already doing.

Read *and* write -- to TV!

Participation Everywhere

Harness Twitter, Qik, Facebook, blogs, etc.

Every community - even yours!

Nano-fame sprinkled around the web.

A federated content network pipline to TV?

"Coopetition"
