HD Video, DVD, Internet Video, Broadband, Mobile & Games Personal media has invaded the territory of the media giants. TV networks, even cable networks and radio networks can no longer ignore the potential threat posed by mobile, broadband video, social networks and the blogosphere. By the millions, consumers are flocking to the web and mobile experience provided by the new technologies. If you think that blogs are simply parasites of the news business that are to be slapped at and complained about, then you’re not paying attention to the business at hand. Bloggers may be individually unique and only sometimes accurate, but as a whole, as a blogosphere, they are a billion person universe of ideas and free expression that far exceeds the reach of all TV networks combined. The world of personal media is the ability to watch video when you want it, where you want it. The world of personal entertainment is all information and entertainment available all the time. Hollywood and media have been reinvented.
