The show will be distributed on Sony’s Crackle social-networking platform as well as across other Sony platforms, such as Playstation 3 and Sony Bravia i-Link TVs. Honestly, if it was up to me, I would just play Rock Band on my PS3 linked to a HD Sony Bravia (I don’t actually own any of this but a girl can dream, can’t she?) all day long so I get what Sony’s up to here and I think it’s very crafty!

Was it? Its a right fit for Sony's audience - there's not a lot of true TV play for techie shows. Try to think of a single one that's on a major network, but this makes sense. Small, early adopter audience, but it's a nice deal for Rocketboom. I think the company's founder/CEO has a lot of smart sense. I don't anticipate a big market in Hollywood for techie type shows. Silicon Valley start ups interested in making the move should consider other niches instead. This article makes it sound like acquisition was an option. Was it?
