For sure Brian, visualization is a huge part. I think if you figure out the taxonomy and relationship hierarchies of data, the visualization of it is the next logical step to understanding it. I think we do a poor job of that in today's web, mainly for the fact that the data is not connected before we visualize it and we're left to making inferences off data that we've already taken to analyzing and connecting based off assumptions that are not shared across the data sources.

I think visualizing data is key too. I think we are still a little bit disconnected from making all of this data real-time actionable so making it so you can visualize and infer actions will be next. i.e. chartbeat.com hummingbird

Hey there, I'm Spencer. I work for a company named Syncables, and after reading through this, I think you might want to check us out. We make a localized syncing software that I've found makes a great compliment to dropbox. Our client is cross-platform, and it lets you keep your files, contacts and email synced between your computers over your home or office network, which is great for when you can't get an internet connection but still need to transfer things between your machines. Additionally, Syncables includes a media component, which allows you to upload your media to any phone or usb drive.

Anyway, come check us out sometime at www.syncables.com!

When I was out west a trend was happening in the past couple years. Studio's are consolidated and the investors in films are coming more and more from India. So basically you have investors who have build a business around sequels and re-makes. I would think this takes some creativity and quality out of the industry.

You're right Jer. I use "studios" to refer to either distributor or studio, whichever is controlling this. I said studio because it was Warner Brothers that issued the order condemning Netflix. I think there can be such a system as well, I don't ever think we'll see a day where a movie skips a theater, at least not for the majors, but I do see a direct content>consumer as a viable market especially as TV content becomes more on-demand and web based.

Not sure I follow. It seems that your criticism of the movie industry should be directed at the distributors not the studios. Why can't there be an online movie delivery system that can download new releases to my TV? Essentially that eliminates the distribution channel completely and allows the content providers to keep all the revenue for themselves. That type of channel conflict can be difficult to navigate but I would think it could open up huge revenue streams for the studios. the problem is that it ruins the idea of a new movie as "an event" when it can be viewed from home.
