I've been meaning to talk about Broadcast Machine for a little while now, and Steve Garfield has given me the perfect excuse. In a recent vlog he sits down with Holmes Wilson from the Participatory Culture Foundation to talk about Broadcast Machine, which is a way for internet publishers to release video content on their own websites via BitTorrent — which means that instead of needing to eat the bandwidth cost of hosting video to thousands of potential viewers, a small website owner can serve video affordably and, moreover, relatively easily via the Broadcast Machine software interface. It can also be used to publish an aggregate channel of found video just as easily, so fans and editors can re-publish content created by others. The published videos and channels created via Broadcast Machine will eventually be integrated with DTV, a video aggregator and player PCF plans to release later this month. It will enter the RSS video aggregator space alongside already existing offerings such as FireANT, which is now out of beta, so what're you waiting for? :)
