WorldTV pre-announces Create Your Own TV Channel™
WorldTV will shortly be launching an exciting 2nd generation web video service that will enable you to Create Your Own TV Channel™.
An incredibly easy-to-use flash-based interface will grant you access to a World of video clips from the likes of YouTube, Google Video and many other popular video sites.
With WorldTV you'll be able to search for and watch millions of video clips from around the World, and add them easily to your own full screen, web video channel. You'll even get your own TV Channel logo and a cool WorldTV URL (eg worldtv.com/alxtv) where you can invite others to come see what you've compiled.
How you use it is up to you. You could create a themed channel on a specific subject, or a collection of different material that you simply like. With WorldTV, you get to be the media baron!
If this intrigues you, you should should shimmy on over and fill the form for WorldTV Beta. We will be sending out access instructions very soon.
Some background on WorldTV
10 years in the planning, WorldTV has a decade of ideas for a new kind of entertainment. We believe people's tastes are valuable and that other people will be interested in what other people like. We also believe in a model that rewards everyone, from creators to hosts to editors to viewers. We previously organized the community created Millennium Photo Project.
WorldTV - A New Era in Television™
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.

I definately liked the look of it from a channel creator's perspective. Very simple, aesthetic and easy to use.
Aggregating the channels in a friendly and usable platform will be the challenge. :)

It sounds really interesting. I'm most interested in finding out how the compilation would work. Does one upload videos like the other sites require or is this a direct link sort of site?
WTV - More the latter, you can very easily pull in videos from other video sites such as YouTube, AOL, Google etc.
