Google alum launches MightyTV for cable cord-cutters<\/strong> <\/a>— from bizjournals.com by Anthony Noto<\/p>\n Excerpts (emphasis DSC):<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n MightyTV, which has raised more than $2 million in venture funding to date, launched today with a former Google exec at the helm. The startup’s technology incorporates machine learning with computer-generated recommendations in what is being touted as a “major step up” from other static list-making apps.<\/span><\/strong> *\u00a0 A Tinder-like interface that allows users to swipe through content, allowing the service to learn what you’d like to watch<\/strong><\/span> <\/p>\n From DSC:<\/span><\/em> Instead of Amazon, HBO, Netflix or Hulu — what if the interface would present you with a series of learning modules, MOOCs, and\/or courses from colleges and universities that had strong programs in the area(s) that you wanted to learn about? That is, what if a tvOS-based system could learn more about you and what you are trying to learn about? It could draw upon IBM Watson-like functionality to provide you with a constantly morphing, up-to-date recommendation list of modules that you should look at.\u00a0 Think microlearning. Reinventing oneself. Responding to the exponential pace of change. Pursuing one’s passions. More choice\/more control. Lifelong learning. Staying relevant. Surviving. …all from a convenient, accessible room in your home…your living room.<\/span><\/p>\n A cloud-based marketplace…matching learners with providers.<\/span><\/p>\n Now tie those concepts in with where LinkedIn.com and Lynda.com are going and how people will get jobs in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n BlueJeans Unveils Enterprise Video Cloud as Businesses Hang Up on Audio-Only Communications<\/strong><\/a> Excerpt (emphasis DSC):<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n April 12, 2016 \u2014 Mountain View, CA\u2014BlueJeans Network, the global leader in cloud-based video communication services, today unveiled the Enterprise Video Cloud, a comprehensive platform built for today\u2019s globally distributed, modern workforce with video communications at the core. New global research shows that 85% of employees are already using video in the workplace and 72% believe that video will transform the way they communicate at work.<\/p>\n “There is a transformation happening among business today – face-to-face video is quickly rising as the preferred communications medium, offering new opportunities for deeper personal relations and outreach, as well as for improved internal and external collaboration,<\/span><\/strong>” said Krish Ramakrishnan, CEO of BlueJeans. “Once people experience the power of video, they ‘hang-up’ on traditional conference calling. We are seeing this happen with the emergence of video cultures that power the most innovative cultures\u2014from Facebook and Netflix to Viacom and Del Monte.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n From DSC:<\/span><\/em> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" From DSC: Let\u2019s take some of the same powerful concepts (as mentioned below) into the living room; then let\u2019s talk about learning-related applications.

\nIn this age of Roku and Apple TV, viewers can choose what to watch via the apps they’ve downloaded. MightyTV curates those programs \u2014 shows, movies and YouTube videos \u2014 into one app without constantly switching between Amazon, HBO, Netflix or Hulu.
\n…
\nAmong the features included on MightyTV are:<\/p>\n
\n*\u00a0 An organizer tool that lists content via price range<\/strong><\/span>
\n*\u00a0 A discovery tool to see what friends are watching<\/strong><\/span>
\n*\u00a0 Allows for group viewings<\/strong> and binge watching<\/span><\/p>\n
\nWhat if your Apple TV could provide these sorts of functionalities for services and applications that are meant for K-12 education, higher education, and\/or corporate training and development?<\/span><\/p>\n

\nGlobal Enterprises Adopt Video as a First-Line Communications Strategy<\/em><\/p>\n
\n I wonder if we’ll see video communication vendors such as<\/span> BlueJeans<\/a> or<\/span> The Video Call Center<\/a> merge with vendors like<\/span> Bluescape<\/a>,<\/span> Mezzanine<\/a>, or<\/span> T1V<\/a> with their collaboration tools. If so, some serious collaboration could all happen…again, right from within your living room!
