Myspace, Flickr, Netflix and all that - Hot sites and trends on the web

This time the common theme is: online tv.

The (short!) presentations will be very informal and there's lots of interaction with the audience. Rotunda 3rd floor.

----------

sopcast (Ingmar) - Watch many TV channels online. Live. P2P streaming at its best. Now you know why (in Germany) you'll have to pay the tv/radio fee when you have internet access. http://www.sopcast.com/player/index.jsp

onlinetvrecorder (Eric). No VCR at home? Or not even a TV? Don't want to miss your favourite show? Just have it recorded for you then and download it as an (encoded) video file. Too good to be true? http://www.onlinetvrecorder.com/

wwitv (Jochen) - Several TV and news stations stream the programme online. Legally. This site offers a nice list. Sorted according to country. Great to watch your national TV ... wherever you're from. http://wwitv.com/portal.htm

Presentations will be rougly 5-10 minutes each.
