Rocketboom (www.rocketboom.com)
is a three minute daily videoblog based in New York City,
covering a wide range of information and commentary from top
news stories to quirky internet culture. With a heavy emphasis
on international arts, technology and weblog drama, Rocketboom
is presented via online video and widely distributed through
RSS. Now, Rocketboom is available on TiVo as part of the TiVo
Video Download Trial.
Rocketboom is currently one of the most popular videoblogs on the internet
with more daily subscribers for original syndicated multimedia
content than nearly any other site, including podcasts.
Rocketboom differs from a regular TV program in many important
ways. Instead of costing millions of dollars to produce, Rocketboom
is created with a consumer-level video camera, a laptop, two
lights and a map with no additional overhead or costs. Also,
Rocketboom is distributed online, all around the world and
on demand, and thus has a much larger potential audience than
any TV broadcast. However, Rocketboom spends $0 on promotion,
relying entirely on word-of-mouth, and close to $0 on distribution
because bandwidth costs and space are so inexpensive. Schedule: 3-5 minute episodes, released Monday - Friday.
Rocketboom is directed and produced online by Andrew Baron.
