This past summer I came to the realization that I wasn’t really watching much TV… well actually, to be more specific, I wasn’t watching much TV on TV. I noticed that with the exception of a couple shows I liked to make social events with friends, I was getting most of my TV fix strictly online.
I have a Mac mini hooked to my Television much in the same way my Tivo used to be, and I do everything from email to YouTube to DVDs to typing this blog all from the comfort of my good old boob tube couch. And so in early August I decided to cancel my cable subscription. As some of you already know, many of my colleagues and I have been working on web projects this year, so it also felt like the right way to be supporting the growth of video content online.
For those curious about what it is I watch exactly … for those wondering how anyone could replace TV for Internet TV… I’d like to share a list of some of the web programs I have enjoyed. Awesome! My blog’s first “list”!
Most of us already know about all the TV shows available on the Internet either at the major network sites, iTunes, Myspace, Hulu, or clips on YouTube, and I watch plenty of that stuff, believe me. But for the purposes of this post, I’m gonna stick solely to web originals… sometimes called web series… sometimes called webisodes… sometimes called vlogs or video podcasts. A medium that unfortunately is still widely perceived as the cheap user-generated alternative to good TV. But it doesn’t have to be… so here we go, in no particular order…
