CBS launches Innertube
CBS has today launched a free original content streaming video service.
In a welcome move, they have decided to forego geo-restrictions (you can watch the service anywhere in the world), but the flip to this is that the fare on offer is currently pretty dire - part of a Letterman show featuring Pearl Jam, a made-for-net TV show called Greek to Chic, and a behind the scenes documentary called Beyond Survivor.
The service did not work for me with Firefox, so I had to access it through Internet Explorer.
When are these companies going to wake up and take note of what the Google and YouTube's of this world are doing with interfaces? Keep it simple!
If you've enjoyed this post you can receive future musings, as I write them, via email. I post about once a week on average. More techy folk might prefer to subscribe to my RSS feed and I'd be delighted if you do. I'm rather more active on Twitter, have a few pictures up on Flickr, and I tend to keep track of people on LinkedIn and increasingly-less-so Facebook. My day job is running WorldTV.com - a site for doing cool things with online video.
