Ben Stiller's online entertainment activities

With Little Fockers hitting German theatres tomorrow, I just read about another project of Ben Stiller.
It's called Billy Glimmer and Ben Stiller stars in this web series as Glimmer, a celebrity entertainer in Las Vegas. Glimmer does a million impersonations and is very popular, but unfortunately not very good at it.

Billy Glimmer is Stiller’s latest project in online entertainment. Just recently, he directed his parents on the Stiller and Meara web series for Yahoo (http://video.yahoo.com/watch/8289104/22097975) and has plans to launch a Zoolander animated series (http://www.socialtimes.com/2010/10/zoolander-web-series/) before Zoolander 2 hits theaters in 2013.

ITV boosts its online activities

Just recently ITV launched Corrie Nation - an online social game - and also scripted online videos - which are entitled Tram Crash News Flash - in order to celebrate the 50th anniversary of its flagship soap opera Coronation Street:
 
The online videos contain specially filmed news bulletins, live reports and eyewitness accounts from the scene of a horrific tram crash:

Now, ITV plans a 5x5 series of webisodes to coincide with the return of sci-fi series Primeval. The webisodes will launch on a new Primeval website and they are set in the period between the third and fourth series. They will introduce new characters, such as Philip Burton, Matt and Jess, while giving fans their first glimpse at the new ARC facility.

Here is the trailer:

Endemol develops Foursquare TV format

As C21 Media reports "Endemol USA has signed an exclusive development deal with Foursquare to produce an original TV format that will integrate the location-based check-in service."

Foursquare has about 5 million users worldwide. The deal with Endemol is happening out of the US, but the ambition is to produce a TV format which can travel and help building up a Foursquare user base beyond its domestic market.

I think that's an exciting, innovative idea and I'm looking forward to hear more about this project!

Blip.tv content viewable via the "New Twitter"

Back in September, Twitter unveiled a new homepage design which included an enhanced sidebar that allows users now to incorporate YouTube videos, Flickr photos, Ustream, and iTunes's Ping social network, without leaving the news stream.

On Monday Twitter announced several new media partners, including Instagram, Dipdive, Rdio, and SlideShare. In addition, the social network has added Blip.tv to the list. Blip.tv is the next generation television network: http://blip.tv/

It gives Twitter users the ability to integrate more than 50,000 independently produced web TV shows from Blip.tv within their tweets.
