TIOTI?s Social TV Guide Officially Launched
Topic: Social Tv

Mashable writes about social tv site TIOTI:

TIOTI, which stands for Tape It Off The Internet, is officially launching tomorrow. What started early last year as a TV guide meets YouTube meets BitTorrent, TIOTI has been laying pretty low for nearly a year.

A lot has changed within the industry since then, from social search engines and bookmarking sites to video-specific search engines and network-driven web communities. But, we liked TIOTI a year ago, and we like it still today. It?s still got a sleek design that?s easy to use and easy on the eyes. Social features, tracking tools and exportable widgets help you find shows that are interesting to you, and stay up to date on all the things you love.

Joost Launches: Video Interview With Mike Volpi
Topic: Social Tv

NewTeeVee has a video interview with Mike Volpi behind social tv service Joost:

Joost, the impeccably pedigreed, funded, and hyped Internet TV platform is releasing its software to the general public on Monday. For those of you beta testers (like us) who?ve griped about the reliability and usability of the application, the company promises a significantly upgraded client, including a new navigation system, search, and an open API for third-party widgets. It is seeding the open API with widgets of its own, including synchronized watching and video markup tools.

Joost is seeing 50,000 beta downloads per week, and with open access hopes to receive between two million and three million users by the end of the year (for this figure the company counts unique user IDs, not downloads of every upgrade of its player), CEO Mike Volpi said in an interview last week (see the video below).
