Watch the Live Streaming Keynote: Ray Ozzie, Dean Hachamovitch, and Scott Guthrie
You’ll need to fast-forward it to 1:17:00…
NBCOlympics.com promises to be the destination for the biggest online video event of all time. And it’s cool, to say the least. NBCU along with MSN plan to offer 2,200 hours of live Olympics coverage online along with a treasure trove of video available on demand. They decided to go with Microsoft to power it all using Silverlight. First of all, each video clip is surrounded by related information, such as bios, stats and analysis, that apply directly to the athletes on screen. You can watch two events at once, using picture-in-picture. Or you can watch four different streams at once from the same event, like different camera angles of this track and field event. While you’re watching a clip, a message may appear across the top of the screen, alerting you to another live event that’s just getting underway. Click it, and you’re instantly transported there. You can also send other people email alerts of live events. Pretty cool stuff, and I like the innovative ways to browse ongoing live events and “most watched” clips.
