    Irelands second vidcast… http://goeat.ie/videocast.asp

    First off: Irelands first *independent* vidcast
    Second: goeat is borderline vidcast. If it wasn’t on itunes then it definately wouldn’t be…

  4. Administrator Says:

    Seconded..Goeat is more of an advert / iptv show. At 5 minutes long, and offering no direct links to its video downloads or RSS feed from the site (link to itunes doesn’t count); it’s arguable whether its qualifies as a vidcast / vodcast.

    I’ll conceed that the syndication aspect means that its definitely a cast of a sort; but its yet to prove its a show per say, rather than an advertisement..

  5. Administrator Says:

    On the other hand, this does seem to be a predecessor; however I believe its a one off or occasional insert.

    [...] Anyone interested in the future of television, or more accurately, the post televisual future of web distributed original video content, would do well to check out Channel 101. We’ve reviewed the site before on Technolotics, but I think its worthy of a more in depth look, as it seems to be currently flying under the radar. While sites like Youtube and Guba, may or may not have a future primarily as redistributors of broadcast content, they’ve done little to foster the creation of original work. In fact, by restricting the length and size of files which can be uploaded (ostensiably to reduce copyright infringement), YouTube have diminished their chances of becoming a hotbed of original content. Google video, although bravely eschewing any restrictions on the length of uploaded content (whilst foolishly restricting video quality to an extremely low bitrate), does little to foster the community creation or pooling of talent needed to inspire the development of original shows and films. Note, it’s far from clear that it was ever Google’s intention to become a generator of new IP, so Google Video shouldn’t necessarily be seen as a failure - however, judging from the inability of Orkut to develop beyond a cookie cutter (and rather primitive) social network, it’s not certain that Google ‘gets’ web2.0. Finally, Apple’s iTunes store, whilst encouraging the success of individual (usually pre-existing) IPTV shows like Diggnation, TWIT, and Tikibar TV, has and will continue to see itself primarily as a marketplace for network television in portable (DRM’d Mpeg4) formats.
