I heart my NewTeeVee

Posted by: David on: July 6, 2009

It’s been, what, 6 months? Followed a link on Twitter, and ended up at NewTeeVee (part of the GigaOM collection of blogs). And within minutes I was hooked – I signed up to the daily email alerts and I visit every day.

NewTeeVee brands itself as the place to go to “follow the video revolution”. If you work in any form of video/TV or are simply passionate about the way TV and video is changing, then this is one to add to your feeds. I manage to keep on top of the main news stories in video just by scanning through the daily email. For my job, it is an essential source of information.

But NewTeeVee is not just about video related news – it’s also about the content. They have their own station that highlights and showcases the best web video out there. The team review webTV series and content, and visitors can rate the content. In effect, through their editors and community they do what all the big video portals fail to do – they filter out all the crap so that we are left with some great content to chose from. Lovely.

They cover a wide range of content type from great viral vids posted on YouTube all the way to fully crafted webTV content. Recent examples of great content highlighted by NewTeeVee includes the Filipino Prisoners tribute to Michael Jackson…

And Imaginary Bitches first series on YouTube.
