| The Lab With Leo- Episode 1 |

Passionate communities are often kept an
arm's length away from traditional media
broadcasts. The future of television is
omnidirectional. "The whole is greater than
the sum of its parts" is just as true today
as when the phrase was originally coined.
Former ZDTV and TechTV staff continue to
produce content independent of the network
dial. Indeed, the Internet has become the
world's television, radio, newspaper, and
magazine network -- with little to no
barriers to entry. Given that anybody can and
will produce something worth sharing, that's
precisely what happens. But without a base of
quality content, without a way to make
connections between related content and
active community members, a site is nothing
more than a mundane portal. Network alumni
were looking for a way to bring everyone
together again (community and talent,
virtually). Leo and I saw the PikSpot
platform as a fantastic starting point for
such efforts -- and through a loosely
democratic process, the network's alumni
dubbed the effort "UndoTV."
UndoTV.com is using PikSpot to keep everybody
connected. Upon this platform:
Content is organized within groups. A new
group can be setup in minutes. Members can
publish text, audio, video, pictures and
flash postings Content is rated and vetted by
the community. This rating process helps the
community maintain content relevance There's
a "balance of power" foundation in place:
Members can add tags, time markers, report
problems, rate content Abuse at all levels is
managed within the system Collaborative
content is indexed: Add time markers to audio
/ video content which also become discussion
points for comments Add tags to other members
content.
We just wanted to bring everybody together
again - while still retaining our
independence. It's our hope that the
community will embrace and extend the idea of
UndoTV (and that the PikSpot platform will
continue to evolve to meet our needs).
