Usually when I get a message stating "A friend has sent you a video!" I delete it immediately and wonder if my spam engine is malfunctioning. However, this time it really was a friend sending me a link to a video from one of the new spat of free video services. This one was from http://www.Veoh.com and they have a good array of content both amateur and professional/broadcast. Another is http://www.joost.com which requires 3D drivers on a Windows box but promises to have most of the programming that comes with a basic cable subscription with all programming "on demand" instead of scheduled.
The folks at Joost expect you to chat back and forth with others who are watching the program in an attempt to merge the viral network and social networking with traditional TV network programming.
Very interesting segment. I think in some form most people will eventually get their programming on demand.
