Yahoo's Wow House

by Ryan j Budke, posted Jan 3rd 2006 5:47PM
Last week, I put in my two cents on what I thought was the biggest story of 2005; the convergence of TV and the internet. As I said in the article, 2005 may have been the launching point, but it's only going to get bigger and better from here on out. So here we are, one week later and three days into the new year, and we already have our first great example. Terry Semel, a former Warner Bros head, is now in charge of Yahoo's new media department and is banking on their new video on demand service. So much so, that they've in fact just recorded a pilot for a new show called Wow House that will air exclusively there. In the show, two families will compete by decking their homes out with new "tech" (hi-def, surround sound, home automation). The two houses will then be voted on and the winners will get to keep all the swag. Geez, what a tease if you lose... Let me know what you think.

Internet TV is a great idea. Another DIY based reality show, not so
much. If you want to get my eyeballs on your fancy new Yahoo IPTV
content, give a bucket of cash to Dr.Tiki and get more Lala on my
internet.

I like that you've coined the first new word of 2006.

convegence = The convergence of two or more entertainment sources that increases the ability to 'veg.'

Way to go Ryan!
