user-generated video becomes less alluring to viewers—and advertisers

I just returned from New York where I checked out companies that design, market, and produces Internet TV shows for users. One of them was: http://www.foryourimagination.com/

Here is a picture of one of a movie reel they hosted for their invitees so everyone can check out the latest “tv shows” out there.

I also attended a conference called The Future of Television. I was hoping to hear all the latest and greatest of what the TV has to offer. However, the main focus was about two components about TV. The importance of how TV must incorporate the internet as part of their distribution model to get advertising circulated in various mediums.  The other is how consumers are pushing content themselves and we are in an era where everything we want is on demand. Tivo is a perfect example. We fast forward through commercials, we demand exactly what we want to see and when we want to see it.

Here is an article about how consumers prefer to see something professionally made rather than people recording in their own back yards. Do you think this article is biased or for real? Click here.
