Someone got paid to do this

There are times when a video changes your life. Sometimes for the better. Often, I am afraid, not. After seeing this video I feel something must have broken deep inside. This… this… this is bad cinema at its best. Rock n’ roll will never be the same for me again.

Brightcove

I am wondering if I saw the future of television today. There was an article in the New York Times about Jeremy Allaire and his plans to change how video is distributed to viewers. Mr. Allaire was an architect of the evolution of Macromedia's Flash system into a video format whose popularity is now second only to the Windows Media platform. Now, he has started a new company called Brightcove.

This company is creating technolgy that will allow all types of video producers, from media giants to anyone who has a camcorder, to put their work on the Internet and make money if anyone watches it. Producers can create programs, shuffle the order of content, even sell ads without the need for one of the giant media distribution channels.
