ffwd Debuts 'Twitmatic' Community Television Experience

Mar 15, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- At InteractiveTV Today's "TV of Tomorrow Show," ffwd (pronounced "fast forward") has launched Twitmatic, a destination powered by ffwd.com that lets users watch a real-time stream of videos being shared on Twitter.



The company said that it has now introduced hundreds of thousands of consumers to the idea of a personal remote control for web video is bringing its channel concept to millions of Twitterers - go to twitmatic.com and check it out.

"Twitter, as the dedicated real-time communications platform, is the best place and audience to demonstrate how ffwd enables an instantaneous community-driven television channel," said Patrick Koppula, CEO of ffwd. "Plus, it's just so much fun to watch the visual stream of collective consciousness take shape." Twitmatic is built on ffwd's MyTV infrastructure, a beta platform to increase the stickiness of your blog, website or social profile by creating a channel based on it. In just a few minutes, the MyTV Widget lets you now build an embeddable "TV station" that plays an engaging sequence of hundreds of videos based on your site topics (or any topics you choose for that matter), the company noted in a release.
