Channelflip - bite sized chunks of geekery
Mar. 1st, 2008 02:26 amWhat is ChannelFlip, I hear you cry! Or is that just the drunks wandering past?
Either way, I'm going to tell you. Channel Flip is an online TV station, with several channels producing news and reviews of interest to technically adept 18-35 year olds.
Or to use less buzzwords, its a set of videos (similar interface to youtube vidoes) for geeks. Specifically, there's Unwired, a show about gadgets, tech toys, and suchlike, Play:Digital on games, and Discus, a show about DVDs. Before I go any further, I'll mention that I've known two of the people doing the show for 10-15 years, so I'm not entirely unbiased. But I still think the shows are very much worth watching - they're interesting, amusing, and at 5 minutes they're easy to quickly watch when you've a spare moment.
The center for the shows is ChannelFlip.com (warning; there's a movie at the top of the page that autoplays when the page loads). Unwired, Play:Digital and Discus each have their own sites as well. You can subscribe to each show through RSS, iTunes, or LJ syndcation, you can also subscribe or syndicate (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

The shows are actually quite different in terms of their style, so I'll review each one seperately, and cut it so that your friends page isn't utterly overwhelmed.
( Unwired – do you have the tech? )
( Play:Digital – she's a game lass )
( Discus – DVD + sharpener = deadly weapon )
