Helping Normal People Get Their Geek On

Watch Free Internet TV

If you enjoy watching TV on your computer and are looking for some extra content, take a look at JLC’s Internet TV. From their website:

JLC’s Internet TV is a FREE program for watching and browsing thousands of TV channels freely available on the internet. It’s probably the biggest and most up to date database of channels ever, and users are able to submit, rate and flag channels. And with the new flagging and rating system you’ll easily see which channels works and which is worth to watch and our goal is to bring you the best online TV experience out there!

Personally, I’m not a big fan of watching TV or video on a computer, but I can see the appeal of this. The only requirement is Windows Media Player and (depending) Real Player. The features are typical of what you would expect from any TV-esque application (favorites, ratings, etc.).

I would be really interested to see if anyone has tried this and what the opinions are.

Mogulus To Try Charging LifeCasters

I have often wondered how companies like Ustream make money. They have to stay afloat somehow. Are they just looking for a buyout?

Well, Mogulus is trying something new and, quite frankly, it’s a model that I have thought about for Ustream. And that is charging people for pro-level features.200803251533.jpg

I’m sure Chris Pirillo would like that too much, but he’d probably pay it seeing as his entire publishing model now relies on Ustream.

Mogulus is looking to start charging people for “pro” service, such as ability to customize the player or sell their own ads. According to Silicon Valley Insider, the rate will start at around $20/month and will increase based on traffic and bandwidth. Large companies who depend on Mogulus for live streaming internet TV content are likely to wrack up very large bills when the service starts next month.

If this works out, Mogulus could end up being the leader in a mass migration of live streaming sites into a premium paid model.

It’ll be interesting to see how this one pans out.
