Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV or “HbbTV” – the European Industry Standard for Social TV? Or Will it go Global?
icon1 Posted by Richard Kastelein in IPTV, Industry News, Innovation, Social Media, Social TV on 09 26th, 2009 | 5 Comments

by Richard Kastelein (originally posted on Atlantic Free Press)

It’s only been a couple of weeks since the European Broadcasting Union demonstrated the potential of the HbbTV specification at IBC2009 in Amsterdam. But it won’t be long before Europeans start seeing the results – before Christmas according to some pundits. And once compatible devices are out in the market, they say the speed-to-market of applications developed for the platform will be incredibly short… as the industry looks to new models that embrace open API’s and SDK’s much like Apple has done with the iPhone and the Open Source movement online with enormous projects such as Sourceforge. With an HTML environment activated by a simple red button, in the same manner as a Web portal, the resulting content can be delivered over the IP stream.

The latest buzz from Silicon Valley has to be the Real-time Web.
Ignited by the success of Twitter, the next evolutionary step of the Web is the real-time delivery of content, as this might be true, there’s too much noise about the Real-time Web and its implications.

Is the Real-time Web really that emerging and transformative or is it hyped and cleverly used marketing jargon?

Social TV – The Emergence of New TV 2.0 ecosystem
icon1 Posted by Richard Kastelein in Innovation, Social Media on 09 18th, 2009 | 7 Comments

This work is a summary of “Innovation at the Edge: Social TV and Beyond,” by Natalie Klym and Marie Jose Montpetit, MIT Communications Futures Program, September 1, 2008, link to the original paper.

The transition is happening. Convergence is inevitable. At least I think so.

How much longer will it be (or can we handle) until we move from our passive, numbing, anti-social, traditional TV screens to a more connected and shared, interactive TV space with family, friends, and communities?

Not long. There’s too much of a need for this change.

A full 57 percent of US Internet users reported browsing the Internet and watching the TV simultaneously, according to Neilson Ratings (PDF). On average, Americans spent about 2 hours and 39 minutes per month doing these activities together, with almost a third of their Internet time being spent in front of the TV. “This simultaneous activity is one reason we see continued growth of both Internet and TV consumption,” wrote Nielsen.

What does that mean?
