Huffington Post Co-Founder Ken Lerer's Bedrock Video Startup
Huffington Post co-founder Ken Lerer, who sold his company to AOL earlier his month, has his next project lined up: He’s a co-founder of Bedrocket Properties, a video studio/incubator. Bedrocket plans on creating and investing in programming that could find a home on the Web or on traditional TV. But it’s really interested in all the new, content-hungry video outlets that sit somewhere between those two poles: Netflix, Apple and Google TV, Roku, mobile phones, tablets, etc.
Television is being developed for the 21st century, not the 20th. Finally.

What a fabulous idea! Runners (cyclists + walkers), check out this amazing web app to find soundtracks for your run based on your pace. You can also create playlists, and map your runs, which I’m not clear on yet, but it seems like through your mobile browser. Either way, I think this is pretty awesome.

DirecTV’s NFL Sunday Ticket Available to All Online — For a Price
This is a start. A rough one, but a start. Had you offered me a “Team Ticket” (you know, for the best team ever, The SAINTS) I would bite, but at that price there’s no way. It’s the same problem with cable - what I watch is not proportionate to what you want me to pay. I know there are some nay-sayers to the a la carte model, but I really think it’s a feasible solution.

Xbox 360 Gets Live Sports In HD From ESPN. Canceling My Cable In 5, 4, 3…
The lack of live sports was one of the #1 things holding people back from canceling their cable. Now all XBOX 360 Gold members can get live sports on their XBOX 360. This is huge. Expect a new wave of cord cutting. All led by Disney/ABC the most progressive mainstream media company out there at the moment.
This is great news for independent producers. Cable companies are going to increasingly embrace Web content and traditional media companies are going to increasingly embrace the Web. The playing field is leveling out — the entrenched competitive advantages of mainstream media are being smoothed away./
Game. Changer.
