The Tube vs the Tube

By mrb

Media students observe at TVNewser that “msnbc.com generated 1.1 million video streams in the first 24 hours, making the Powell interview which included an endorsement of Sen. Barack Obama, the program’s most-watched individual video stream ever.”

Media questions here for Jeff Jarvis or other media schools.

What is #2, #3 ?

What stream format is working? preroll, post roll, 30 second interstitials after 5 minutes view. How does this compare to  commercial TV – 3 minute ads to 13 minute views. They are both tube media, why is the Internet more rapid? And what of small tube media – faster intervals and short bits still. It is that on the Internet the frequency of publishing and feedback is instantaneous. Longer time cycles are not meaningful to this medium.
