The Beet: Walt Mossberg on the State of the Web
At the recent Beet.TV executive summit, Wall Street Journal technology columnist Walt Mossberg spoke about the transformation of the web.
Mossberg states that the web has changed from a text medium to a video medium -- and likewise, its direct competition is changing from newspapers and magazines to network TV and movie studios.
He divides online video into three genres: user-generated content, content distributed by mainstream companies, and original, "fully-produced pieces."
He notes that this last category is the least developed, but will soon be well populated. Mossberg predicts that a fully-produced show spawned from the web will successfully make the transition to primetime network TV in the near future.
