Streaming Media

I have been at the Streaming Media conference which has always been one of the best conferences to attend for a Live Media developer. IIt is good to see the various aspects that make Live Media so incredibly interactive, starting to come together.

One of the most notable changes this year at the conference is the abrupt change in attitude with broadcasters and content producers. Just last year, content producers were going the way of the music industry. They were heading down the path of trying to control every aspect of their content instead of letting the end user control it. It is good to see this shift in thinking. Of course, the competition in content has forced them down this path.

The shift of content producers thinking about creating content for the internet first, instead of an afterthought is going to produce new and exciting content. When the user gets to enjoy their favorite program the way they want, it puts the broadcaster back in the drivers seat.

I will give an overview of other topics shortly.
