Perhaps the biggest piece of news to come from Austin came today as IMDB
announced a plan to stream one button video for every one of its 1.3 million titles in the database. IMDB founder Col Needham announced the goal to a packed crowd of interactive attendees while speaking on the history of the company. An ambitious goal, IMDB would need to work out an agreement with all content providers. Additionally, a huge question becomes is this a relevant undertaking when Hulu, iTunes, Netflix, and many cable networks are already streaming their own content on their own sites?The announcement has provoked Twitter responses from “bring it,” by bryan_moss to, “that could be great, or total crap,” by extralife.
IMDB’s announcement has perhaps been the most compelling piece of SXSWi news for web video thus far. The company will still have to rastle with its inconsistent definition of what exactly is a web series.
