Exploding TV
: By the latest count, the Jon Stewart CNN segment has had more than 1.4 million views on iFilm — not to mention all the BitTorrent distribution. Welcome to the future of media: A distributed network is more powerful than a centralized network. And the people you once called viewers are your best marketers (if you have anything worth marketing).
: Just noticed that iFilm calls this all viral video. Good title.
: Is there any way to get a count of how much something (namely: the Stewart segment) is seen in BitTorrent? I assume that’s complicated by (a) the distributed nature of the thing and (b) the fact that there could be multiple Stewart copies. But in the future, if I wanted to distribute something via BitTorrent, what is the current ability to track views? Anybody?
: Here‘s where you can get the latest counts on iFilm’s clip: It’s over 1.5 million now.
