“slivercasts”

[From The New York Times:]

As Inter­net TV Aims at Niche Audien­ces, the Sli­ver­cast Is Born.

Indeed, the Internet’s abi­lity to offer an almost infi­nite selec­tion is part of what makes it so appea­ling: peo­ple can find things that don’t sell well enough to warrant shelf space in a neigh­borhood music store or video ren­tal shop � think of the obs­cure books on Amazon.com. The ease of digi­tal video pro­duc­tion and the ubi­quity of high-speed Inter­net con­nec­tions are sen­ding the long tail of video into the living rooms of the world, live and in color.

If that isn’t the future of Media, my friends, I don’t know what is.
