On the heals of David’s helpful and exciting post about Joost this morning, I thought you may also want to know where to find TV programming online. Find Internet TV is a good place to start. This site provides both directory and search functions to help your quest to locate your favorite shows and one-time TV events. As with Joost, this resource isn’t fully saturated yet, but as more and more programming begins to pop up online, it should grow accordingly. Come to find out… although I spent Saturday night with Josh and Carmel at the White Space II event, I can re-visit the two Final Four games I missed!

Because we received so much feedback from the original post, I felt compelled to inform you all that Yang Wu and Wu Ping have succumb to the Chinese Government and the real estate developer that will build a shopping mall in the area that their two story home stood just days ago. An end of March court order provided that the couple must vacate the premises or face forcible removal. Still, until the very end, they were defiant and strong. Their final settlement reportedly included a similarly sized apartment in the building that will replace the chasm in which their “nail house” once stood. They sure had a great run at it, but in the end, the man gets everyone down!

Check out this awesomely simple and sexy Flickr Tag Browser, a little application built by Felix Turner of Airtight Interactive. The application starts with a simple search bar; type in a keyword and it brings up a nice view of images from the Flickr archive with that same tag. The circle of words around the images in the center represent related tags. Airtight is the same group that created SimpleViewer, easily the best free customizable flash image viewing application on the market.

By now the poetic-winners of the Naughty Holiday Limerick Competition we held at the end of December last year are basking in glory with their second delivery of t-shirts– strutting around in classic TEeA Party Fashion. I just got word that there are about 30 seats left if you want to join for a 3, 6 or 12 month subscription of Momimomi t-shirts. What’s better than a Momimomi t-shirt? Thats easy, getting one in the mail every month to keep your wardrobe fresh and your friends guessing.

There’s something about this Jason Calcanis interview of Ted Murphy (founder of PayPerPost) that makes us cringe. The very idea of masking paid product placements as genuine blog posts flies squarely in the face of what we as writers and you as readers enjoy about the blog experience. What’s more, this cryptic and deceptive practice threatens the blogospehere as a whole. It’s already starting to make readers nervous– we can sense it. Murphy can twist words and definitions around, argue ‘efficient market outcome,’ ‘personal empowerment,’ etc. to justify what they do, but be sure they’ll never make believers out of us. As a reflection of our love for the unadulterated blogosphere, and as a gesture of respect to all of our readers, we promise to remain transparent (i.e. if we ever have a financial connection to the subject of a post, we’ll disclose it) and continue with the level of integrity upon which we’ve always prided ourselves. The last thing we want to do is fall on this slippery slope toward the fall of the blogs– it saddens, upsets and infuriates us.

Just like your wheat grass this morning, this is juiced (well, Joost really, but pronounced “juiced”). It’s coming to us from Swedish entrepreneur Niklas Zennstrom and his Danish partner Janus Friis, the guys behind Kazaa and Skype– which as many of you know sold to eBay for $2.6 billion. Joost utilizes the same P2P technology as Skype to stream media to your computer screen. The result is purportedly an on-demand type of TV experience that looks great windowed and passes muster when expanded to fullscreen. While you may be thinking that the FCC is going to come after your ass if you start using Joost (i.e. just seems too good to be true), you must understand that that’s not the case– Joost content is a result of licensing agreements with partner channels, which are continuing to expand, and currently include the likes of Viacom, Comedy Central, and National Geographic. What’s left to say? I can’t wait to give this a try!
