A Squidoo Poll Predicts the Future of i(p)TV

iTV aka internet TV, IPTV, Web TV, streaming video, web video...people, make up your minds!

As one of the resident experts on iTV at Squidoo, I find true morsels of wisdom there sometimes. Here is one, in the form of a screen shot I took from a slightly less than scientific poll by 7 - yes, seven - people on the future of TV. Here is some statistics even Mark Twain would like - this one doesn't lie. It's not biased either - so it might even be a good indicator....

Squidoo this Video

Meaning, you build your own personal recommendation or expert page online, complete with a video feed from YouTube. It is REALLY easy:

1. Choose the YouTube module
2. Name and describe your module
3. Select your video
4. Define display options
5. Save

This is the quickest way we've found so far to video-enable a page or blog, although it is specific the Squidoo and only works with YouTube so far. Another issue could be that the audio might get out of sync with the video. Still, the overall effect is pretty impressive, especially as you add other modules, like instant voting and group discussion. I did all of these on our Squidoo Page in no time at all and the result speaks for itself.
