The Future Arrived Last Night...

rocketboom_logo_master.gif In my living room. I saw it. Rocketboom. Full Screen. On my Flatscreen TV. On my Tivo.

Now, before you shrug it off. This isn't some homebrew, geek, open-source software solution that i've cobbled together with scotch tape and bailing wire (though i've done that in the past).

What's so impressive - and a bit mysterious - is exactly how the Rocketboom file gets from their Vlog file to a high-quality, tv sized file that's waiting for me when i get home.

Here's the scoop:

Signing up was easy - i just put my email address in this LINK and Kaboom. it's done.

Then, it shows up in my now playing cue.

So just think what this means for the growing vlog revolution and ipod video world. All of a sudden, the link between the desktop and the tv is made.

It's soo cool. Now i want to start subscribing to all kinds of things.

BTW - i found this as i added my Yahoo to my Tivo subscription. This has all kinds of goodies built in, traffic, photo's, weather, even games and now you can program you Tivo from your Yahoo account.

I'm not sure why this hasn't gotten more press - it's so cool.

Steve,

Thanks for the posting. You're right, this is definitely BIG! I wish I had TiVo (using Time Warner's "eh" DVR services). Once the word spreads, then the paradigms should really begin shifting. When vlogs can be accessed on a significant number of people's TVs, then it's no longer this cute little techno fade; it's making serious inroads into becoming a true alternative network.

Bill
