I was at an IPTV demo a year ago looking at the Microsoft Media centre and one of the notable benefits of their system was the ability to share content and viewing with buddies elsewhere. That thought cropped up on this blog referring to a dinner talk on connectivity:
"He (Ankesh of Grouptivity) believes TIVO (Sky Plus for us) .... is a good example of the immediacy of content and now users expect to get the content they require when and how they want it.
His view is that although there are huge amounts of content available nowadays people just ignore that that they don’t want and therefore content recommended by a friend or network is preferable."
I think that kind of recommender culture is on its way and very important. The entertainment these days is not in the content it is in the connectivity.
