Current TV, the global television network, which is distributed on cable and satellite, is very very different online. Current.com, launched in October, is starting to get traction as site built around consumer generated videos, text commentary, citizen reporting and photos. The most recent Nielsen Online numbers but monthly uniques at 412,000 for February.Unlike Current TV, which uses "pro-sumer" video segments from a network of contributors along with studio productions and acquired content, the online entity is built around uploads from a growing community interested in a range of topics from politics to culture to technology. I was in San Francisco last week for a tour of the Current headquarters and an interview with Justin Gunn, who heads online programming. Pasted below is Current co-founder Al Gore who has a video post on the topic of gay rights. His video has gotten quite a lot of comments.In our next segment about Current, we will take you on a tour of the very cool headquarters.--Andy PlesserPosted on Beet.TV on Thursday, March 6, 2008http://www.beet.tv/2008/03/current-tv-sees.html Less
