“Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends…”
Welcome to BC$ MobileTV’s Main Blog, after a month of downtime we’re back and ready to go strong for 2008-2009.
This will be our first of many posts as we work towards developing our vision for a Semantic Web-enabled Online & Mobile Video experience.
Once we’re fully setup and running smoothly, some of the types of posts you can expect to see here include:
- WEEKLY UPDATES from the development team on the status of the BC$ Recommendation System Project
- Reports & Report Summaries on the Mobile Industry with a focus on East Asia (Japan, South Korea & China)
- Reviews on some relevant Third-Party Products, Services, Software and Electronics that members of our development team have tested
Also, be sure to stay tuned for some Unique Content produced exclusively for BC$ MobileTV.
BC$ = Behavior, Content, Money
The goal of the BC$ project is to raise awareness and make changes with respect to the three pillars of information freedom - Behavior (pursuit of interests and passions), Content (sharing/exchanging ideas in various formats), Money (fairness and accessibility) - bringing to light the fact that:
1. We regularly hand over our browser histories, search histories and daily online activities to companies that want our money, or, to benefit from our use of their services with lucrative ad deals or sales of personal information.
2. We create and/or consume interesting content on their services, but we aren't adequately rewarded for our creative efforts or loyalty.
3. We pay money to be connected online (and possibly also over mobile), yet we lose both time and money by allowing companies to market to us with unsolicited advertisements, irrelevant product offers and unfairly structured service pricing plans.
