It’s my great pleasure to present INST MSGS, our brand new show launching this week! This show is one of the most artistic, irreverent and unexpected series we’ve launched here at Revision3 and I’m extremely excited about it. Each week, you’re going to be taken in a very different direction as a new corner of the internet is explored and dramatized. One week you may see puppets, the next, online dating catastrophes and then animal tweets. As I write this I know how crazy it sounds, but trust me, you’re going to love it. The team of producers (Ann, Justin and Matthieu) are extremely creative and have a ton of amazing ideas up their sleeves. Subscribe and keep coming back week after week because you never know what you’re going to see! We’re very proud of this show and can’t wait to show you the upcoming episodes.
Check out the first episode below.
The INST MSGS team is also looking for your suggestions about what they should do next, so be sure to interact with them on the show’s forums, or over on Twitter or Facebook.
We’ve got more show launches coming this year so stay tuned!

A quick update to let everyone know that this past episode of JV’s World will be the last on Revision3. JV’s main job as a top-rated morning show host here in the SF Bay Area keeps him extremely busy and he’s needing to focus in on those endeavors. We’ve had a great time watching this show evolve and seeing all the fearless experiments in social engineering that JV has embarked upon. He’s an extremely dynamic and creative entertainer and we wish him the best of luck in all his future projects! Keep up with all that JV is doing in the future at www.jvsworld.com or www.twitter.com/jvsworld.

Yes Brian, There is a Santa Claus
A few weeks ago I got a message from Revision3 fan Brian Desmon, asking whether there was any chance of Revision3 shows appearing on Roku’s groundbreaking internet video box – known mostly for its integration with Netflix on Demand.
I had to skirt the issue – but no more! Finally I can tell the world! Revision3 will be on Roku! Our amazing team of web designers and developers have been slaving over the implementation for the last few months – and their amazing efforts have borne some pretty tasty fruit.
I still can’t say exactly when, beyond “very soon now”. But I can give you a sneak peek of what it’ll look like. Check out this week’s Tekzilla for a look at the upcoming Revision3 channel on Roku. And if you don’t have a Roku, what are you waiting for? It streams Baseball, Netflix movies and Amazon Unbox today, with a wide variety of other video channels coming soon.
The box itself costs $99. And unlike today’s services, we’re going to be 100% free – and in amazing high definition as well (if your internet connection is fast enough).
That’s right, now there’s even more reason to buy a Roku! So if you love our shows, and want to watch them on a big TV, pick up a Roku today. They make great holiday presents too.. (hint hint).
Check out this demo of the Revision3 channel on Roku:

It’s my pleasure to officially welcome TWO new shows to the Revision3 slate!
First off, Bytejacker, launching tomorrow, Thursday, September 24th. Anthony Carboni has been doing this show from his rooftop in Brooklyn as a labor of love…now it will be a labor for the Revision3 audience! The moment I saw this show with its dead-on reviews and hilarious writing style, I knew it would be a perfect fit for us and a great compliment to CO-OP. Bytejacker covers games that seem to fall under the radar in traditional media, but they are games you definitely want to be playing. Anthony is a fantastic host and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome him and the Bytejacker crew to the Revision3 family! As an example of his awesomeness, check out the graphic to the right that he created to celebrate our joining of forces. Follow them on twitter at @acarboni and @bytejacker and be sure to head over to revision3.com/bytejacker tomorrow, and every Thursday for new episodes!
In addition to Bytejacker, today we’re also announcing Revision3’s first sitcom, Web Zeroes. Smooth Few Films (made up of Eddy, Nick and Daniel) have been making popular machinima shows for quite some time now. Their side project was a pilot series for a brand new sitcom about the world of Web 2.0. It’s a show that comes right out of these guys’ IRL experiences navigating the world of the web. Pulling inspiration from single camera sitcoms like Arrested Development and 30 Rock, this show gets its comedy from the world YOU inhabit and are passionate about….that’s right: the internets. Eddy, Nick and Daniel really DO live in Houston and really ARE working on becoming famous on the internet….and we’re extremely excited to be bringing you their story, starting October 7th! Meanwhile you can follow them on twitter: @eddyrivas @ianfreeze @nickcomardo @smoothfewfilms. Check out the trailer to the series at revision3.com/webzeroes and tune in on October 7th to catch the first episode!
We’re always looking to bring you the shows you want to watch and I look forward to announcing even more new shows we’ve got in the works for later this fall….stay tuned!
thanks.

As you know, one of our mottos here at Revision3 is “Anywhere, Anytime, Any Device, Any Application” and that’s evidenced by how we bend over backwards to make our content available on whatever platform you want to watch it on, be it iTunes, YouTube or TIVO. One of those platforms that were huge fans of is Boxee. If you haven’t heard about Boxee yet, you definitely should as it’s quickly becoming one of the coolest pieces of software for watching video around.
Basically, it’s a way to enjoy the best of Internet Television on your computer or television. Boxee is the first “social” media center, whose free, downloadable software is changing the way we experience home entertainment. On a computer or connected to an HDTV, boxee allows you a simple way to bring all their entertainment into one place including personal movies, TV shows, music and photos, as well as streaming content from websites like Netflix, MLB.TV, Comedy Central, Pandora, Last.fm, and flickr. You can also share information about what you’re watching so friends can enjoy it too through legal sources online. It’s pretty darn cool and I’ve been using it for the majority of my Internet TV watching.
So, when the gang over at Boxee called us up and offered to create a Revision3 app for Boxee, we jumped at the opportunity! Any chance to make it easy for you, our audience, to watch Revision3 on your big screen TV (or any size, really) is definitely something we want to provide. Avner Ronan, Boxee’s CEO said, “”From Tekzilla to the Digg Reel to Co-Op, HD Nation, and Hak5 - Rev3 makes great shows that are available around the globe, on demand. They’re a great fit for Boxee, and we’re excited about the new interface we’ve created with them to encourage more people to watch Rev3 on their big screen.” Avner’s a great guy and so nice of him to say such kind words about Revision3!
If you’re looking for a new and cool way to watch Revision3, we strongly suggest you check out Boxee and install the Revision3 app. I can’t stop playing with it, it’s so cool. Just hook up your media center PC or your laptop to your TV, load up Revision3 on Boxee and then you’re on your way to hours of Revision3 fueled entertainment!
So head over to Boxee’s website, download the client and check it out for yourself.
Here’s what the Revision3 App on Boxee looks like:
Imagine browsing Revision3 with your remote control on your couch! Not bad, eh?
Huge thanks to our friends over at Boxee for putting the app together and helping us make it easier and better for you to watch Revision3 on Boxee!
Let us know what you think of the Revision3 app on Boxee!
