Game changing move by Channel 4

Channel 4 to simulcast all content online.

This game changing move by C4 will really pave the way for all broadcasters to follow suit, the BBC this summer are broadcasting live every event from the Olympics, across multiple platforms. Phone, iPad generally any internet connected device, including TV’s.

As reported in New Media Age website.

Channel 4’s head of viewer relationship management Steve Forde told new media age the move is part of its overall data-driven strategy to reward viewers for registering and providing more information.

“We have learnt content is king when it comes to what viewers want and because of that we are building our bank of rewards and benefits for people who register,” he said.
http://m.nma.co.uk/news/channel-4-brings-back-online-simulcast-as-part-of-data-drive/4002073.article

So the move is data driven, collecting information on  viewer watching habits which will allow them to recommend programmes based on this data but also adverts and it is these adverts and the potential advertising revenue that are really driving this move. They want to create a digital nest that sees us engaging with their programmes while their advertisers engage with us.

Look ahead 2 years and we will be sharing what we watch with our friends in a Getglue fashion but within the walls of Channel4book.

Personally I will be unfriending anyone who watches Friends.

Shoudio I do this – New Location Based Audio Platform

shoudioI have been testing this out for a project – It’s a new platform called Shoudio almost like a cross between Shout and Audio.  The platform is pretty new with most posts appearing to be tests, and the Android app is still in Beta. But I do love the idea, as I was discussing a project called Audio Monkey  a way of posting audio content in different locations this time last year which I never got off the ground.

Move Fast and Break Things

blurry hack 4 culture imageI was asked to give a workshop at the Hack4Culture event on the 3rd and 4th March – This is the slideshare from the workshop,  I discussed the issues and themes that the images highlight.
I didn’t say it really over ran as a workshop, there was lots and lots of talk.
