We created the first version of YouTV.se (as it is today) in 24 hours at the 24 hour business camp in Stockholm. After the event a public vote decided the “winner” and we came out on top. We are really happy that so many people like the idea that is YouTV.se. There was a ton of really interesting sites created at the event so take time and check them out.
A video of us receiving the great award (in Swedish):
We are working as hard as we can on the back end system so we can let the first beta testers create there own channels. In the meantime, we created three new so that you have something to watch while you wait.
TV is great for entertainment, because that’s what it does, it entertains. Today, when viewing videos online, the experience is far from that. The user has to entertain herself browsing and searching through videos and always making new choices with thousands of alternatives.
YouTV.se is an attempt to bring a laid back style of watching videos online. At YouTV.se users directly enters a stream of YouTube videos without having to make an active choice and find exactly what they think they want. Just choose that they are in the mood for some comedy.
It’s also a platform where users easily can create their own channels, spread and embed on their own pages and blogs.
The site right now is just to serve as a preview of what the final experience will be.
