Diggnation - Episode 177 - Multiview Diggnation Remix!
November 21st, 2008 at 04:00 by markrebec in UncategorizedRevision3 Launches Incubator - “Revision3 Beta”
August 14th, 2008 at 11:52 by Jim Louderback in Announcements, UncategorizedIn the bad old days, if you want to get a show on TV you had to head to Hollywood, suck up to guys with more pinky rings than sense, and pimp yourself out for years before getting your dream on the air.
The alternative? Local access cable. Party on Wayne.
But the internet has changed all that. Now anyone with a dollar and a dream (and a video camera) can create entertaining, compelling and fascinating content - and then post it for all the world to see. Alas, just because you put it up doesn’t mean you’ll build an audience.
That’s where we come in. Our Revision3 shows have proven that all kinds of concepts, shows and hosts can build big audiences. But there are way more shows than even we can bring through Revision3’s destination site. But we want to help the next crop of talented show producers develop their skills and find and audience. So today we’re launching Revision3 Beta, our farm team of up and coming shows.
This is not just another user-generated video site. Not anyone can become a Revision3 Beta show. We’re going to be hand picking a small group of shows with promise, and then we’ll be launching them inside our new Revision3 beta destination site - and then helping them to develop. Who’s leading the way here? None other than the internet’s Martin Sargent, who along with being an amazingly creative show host and producer is gifted at spotting and nurturing creative talent.
Got a show you’ve been slaving over? Head over to Revision3 Beta and upload it for Martin to look at. Even if we don’t pick it up for Revision3 Beta, he’ll spend some time giving you feedback and helping you craft the next best thing.
What sort of shows will you find on Revision3 Beta? We’re not saying yet - but we’ve got a half-dozen cool new shows lined up that we’ll be launching in mid September, right on the Revision3 Beta site.
Oh, and one last shout out to the great folks at Viddler, one of our favorite online video destinations. Revision3 Beta is powered by Viddler, which will make it simple to create, upload, watch and promote our new lineup of shows.
So if you’ve got a great show, upload it to Revision3 Beta today. And look for our mid-September launch of the first crop of what we’re confident will become the next big things in Internet Television.

REVISION3 TAKES HOME TWO WEBBY AWARDS AND OFFICIAL HONOREE NOD
June 27th, 2008 at 02:04 by Tyler Howarth in Press Releases, Uncategorized—“DIGGNATION” AND “THE TOTALLY RAD SHOW” SCORE TWO “PEOPLE’S VOICE” WINS; “TEKZILLA” RECOGNIZED AS OFFICIAL HONOREE AT 12TH ANNUAL WEBBY AWARDS—
San Francisco, CA (TK) – Revision3, the TV network for the Internet generation, was honored with two Webby Awards in the People’s Voice category for hit shows “Diggnation” and “The Totally Rad Show.” The People’s Voice category allowed Webby enthusiasts to vote for their favorite nominees. “Diggnation” and “The Totally Rad Show” won People’s Voice awards for Technology and Variety in the Online Film and Video genre. Revision3 was also named an Official Honoree in the technology category for “Tekzilla.”
“We at Revision3 couldn’t be happier with our Webby wins this year,” said Jim Louderback, CEO of Revision3. “It is one thing to be recognized by top industry experts, but to be honored by our fans is the ultimate reward.”
“Diggnation,” an irreverent news review show hosted by tech geeks and pop culture gurus Alex Albrecht and Kevin Rose, was first launched in 2004 and is based on the top news stories from digg.com. “Diggnation” has more than 150 episodes available online and garners over 200,000 viewers per episode. The show consistently ranks among the top Internet videos available from the Apple iTunes Store.
“The Totally Rad Show” is Revision3’s explosion of movie, video game, TV and comic news and reviews. Four dudes in a garage. One green screen. A cubic ass-ton of enthusiasm. It is about the excitement in finding a piece of entertainment you love, or the pain in realizing something isn’t as rad as you had hoped.
“Tekzilla” makes your tech work better for you. On “Tekzilla,” host Patrick Norton, who has written hundreds of product reviews for the likes of PC Magazine, CNet, PC World, CPU and TechTV, and co-host and Web phenomenon Veronica Belmont, deliver reviews, computer help and tech tips on everything from iPods to camcorders, plus do it yourself projects.
