Visiting one of the links from GoLeft.tv, the topic of a previous blog, I encountered Headzup.tv.
What is headzup.tv?
Founded in 2004 by John and Joan Shay, Headzup is Catch & Release Comedy™ For Cell Phones And Video iPods. Published daily, Headzup editorial cartoons and parody clips are designed to be downloaded to cell phones and shared as picture messages. Fans who “catch” a headzup on their cell phone typically personalize the clip by adding their own text message before “releasing” the clip back into the wild… also known as sending a “headzup” to a friend.
Its got a lot of politcal satire and parody. Worth checking out because the clips are usually 15-20 seconds long.

I stumbled into GoLeft.tv, another .tv website, which uses video to deliver “news, commentary, and entertainment” on the issues most important to Americans.” Based on the press release I accessed on the website, GoLeft.tv launched on May 29th of this year.
As the power of the web is realized, I would expect to see more sites with political agendas pop up on the Internet. This is the first website I have encountered with significant political leanings. Not bad, just very interesting to watch the web evolve as traditional media penetrates the digital layer.

Because I operate several automotive related websites, I tend to receive a lot of press releases. Today, I received a press release that I thought would interest .tv enthusiasts.
The press release marketed Speedfreaks.tv and a SpeedFreaks Show set to air on ESPN2. While I know little about the show, the co-marketing effort between ESPN2 and SpeedFreaks.tv is positive news for the .tv extension, especially if the .tv website is advertised in and during the show.
The website’s slogan is Motorsports Radio & TV Redefined. The website offers material independent of the show that will air on ESPN2 on July 19th, including weekly podcasts, audio downloads, and video downloads…
