There’s been some interesting people talking about the future of TV, which got me commenting and thinking. Here’s what I was reading today.

Evening with YouTube TV

Filed under: Tivo, YouTube, iPhone — Jose Alvear @ 2:54 am

Over at Technologizer, I’ve contributed a post about my experiment watching YouTube on my TV through Tivo HD. I had lots of fun with the experiment and I found that there is a place for YouTube in my TV watching schedule.  It’s nothing like real scripted TV from Hollywood, but it’s a great way to share media with friends, or browse a popular video without having to get up to your PC or laptop.

The third option, of course, is to use my iPhone. But that’s not what I reach for when I want to watch YouTube. I guess, it all depends on where I am and what screen is closest. Now that the iPhone 3.0 update will include YouTube log-in, we can all ensure to keep our YouTube acconts synched. I really hate that I can’t sign in right now and I have separate YouTube bookmarks on my iPhone.

Anyway, I’ll be contributing regularly to Harry McCracken’s Technologizer blog in the future. Look forward to seeing everyone there.
