Friday Rewind: Tubefilter News of the Week – December 19, 2008

Wow, what a week at Tubefilter and in the world of web series. We’re still looking for that guy that told us December in Hollywood is always slow times so we can smack them silly. This week saw deals

landed left and right in digital media and plenty of news of our own as well.

Early in the week we were lucky enough to score a reviewer’s copy of the Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog DVD which officially started shipping today. Our review gave some peeks inside the much-anticipated DVD, and even outing the TV network that passed on the web series after Joss offered it to them. Doh!  And to top it all off today, we announced a partnership to co-host the 1st Annual Streamy Awards, to give web series the big-time awards show they deserve. So nominate your favorite shows, creators and talent today!
