Yesterday, Boing Boing launched Boing Boing TV, the first blog-based video channel destined to crush traditional TV networks like Godzilla crushed Tokyo. Xeni is a dear friend of mine. It's thrilling to see her having transformed herself into a living, breathing, awesome idoru.
Update: Check out the latest episode as Xeni goes gonzo vaginago.
[A] lot of people in Hollywood have this idea that the web is just something you mine for hits, and that the ultimate endgame for anything internet-video-related is that you get a cable pilot or movie deal out of it. But maybe the web is the endgame. We're not in this to make a killing; we're in this to make a living, and to explore things in a freer way than we would be able to on network television. The economics and nature of the traditional television medium do not foster the kind of free-wheeling exploration that we've been spoiled to have on the web. If you can just keep on doing that, but with video, why would you say no? -- Xeni Jardin
