GigaOm Expands - New Video Only Blog

Om Malik’s growing blog empire expanded today with the launch of NewTeeVee, a blog covering the exploding world of online video. The primary contributors will be Malik and GigaOm writers Liz Gannes and Katie Fehrenbacher, with contributions from Jackson West, Paul Kapustka, Russell Heimlich and Russell Shaw. There’s good content on the site already.
You’ve arrived at the newest member of the GigaOM family, NewTeeVee.com. We aim to cover online video from end to end and front to back. We’ll point you to hot startups, hot videos, hot pipes — tracing the talent, money, code, and data across the network. We’ll combine the signature GigaOM skepticism with a healthy sense of wonder for all the cool stuff that’s going on out there. And lots and lots of pictures and video.
Congrats to Om and team for another relevant blog launch. We think GigaOm is great - lots of witty analysis and breaking news. It has quickly grown to become possibly the second most interesting blog network overall. 
I do have one request - a mashed up feed that has all four GigaOm properties, plus whatever is added in the future. It’s much better than adding new RSS feeds every time Om launches a new site.
NewTeeVee looks great, but appears to have been launched prematurely without proper testing. Several of the tabs on the home page don’t work - error 404, repeatedly.

Great idea. Mike should have been on this first. You snooze you lose :).
Hello Liz, Katie, Jackson, Paul K, Russell and Russell
Great job on the new site, I’m sure you’re going to do a fantastic job and before you know it you’ll have the attention of Hollywood and the networks, do me a favor and ask them to just put all there primetime shows on the web. This summer I cancel my Comcast cable and we went (TV FREE), we watch all our content via the web on out projector (we love it) unfortunately some of our favorite shows were not on the web such as Amazing race. Tell them to get on board now, before they lose there audience to the web and beyond, there ship is sailing and they should get on board.
Thanks

Indians doing great things in every field. Definitely beats the milliondollarhomepage-type contributions made by the Brits.
Mr.Malik is a future thinking guru. He has an eye for great trends.
Mr.Malik,thanks for giving us an insight into the future of the web.
A nod to MeeVee on the name
Great idea…this NewTeeVee. It will certainly bring more life to this already very lively world of blogging.
I think one person commented on the error pages which I also experienced…I guess the normal teething and maybe some anxiety to launch…
Good luck!

only 1 word…’Brilliant’.
I volunteer to run VidCrunch!
I used to be a fan of Om but to be honest his site is all over the place and his articles are not all that great. He needs some witty writers or something. I cannot read through an entire post without clicking off. His so called empire is growing but its not helping. Growing too fast is the best way to die early.
Some of these new sites will be deadpooled.
Mike, thank you for your kind words and your encouragement. On the 404 errors - well I apologize for that, but the errors have been fixed. It was a rush to transition from dev server to the main server.
Hopefully we can meet your expectations, and please let us know how to improve, and enhance the site.
Mike,
You and Om should merge. I (like many others) read both your blogs multiple times daily. I think there is a lot of value if you guys came together.
You guys can create an online blogging powerhouse.
GigaCrunch sounds awesome to me
Thanks

I think it would be great if Om came over to be my right hand guy.
GigaCrunch.com?
I guess OMpire.com is all powerful going at it all by himself.
Video only blog, how about the audio one?

Om is perhaps the single most amazing person, Indian or non-Indian, on the planet. Let’s keep an open mind and also be ready for another triumph by the man in blue.
Mike VS OM , or, Mike merge with OM . This will be a headline. GIGACRUNCH!
Sounds like something to it. A nice domain though…gigacrunch.com

yeah, just like the techcrunch one…
Congratulation !
It is good to see Om Malik’s Media Empire grow. MediaVidea has list of all Web 2.0 sites that pay users.

Hey Mike?
Where’s your “mashed up feed”? I tried to find one and couldn’t. Let’s not start calling the kettle black Mr. Pot.
I think it’s a good idea though and really more networks should implement it.

Is OM really onto starting an “OM”pire? I see that http://www.ompire.com is already registered. Spill it out Om. If that’s not you then you must hurry up and get http://www.gigacrunch.com before it is gone.
Guys,
Don’t forget to send my 10% for the idea.
You can have the name for free.

Did anyone notice “#GigaGamez - The biz of games, coming soon!” message on Om’s blog. Sure sounds like an “OMpire” in making.
