The .tv Spotlight: Slipstream.tv

Posted by .tv Spotlight

SlipStream is a UK based social media platform (hosted via a .tv domain) that integrates broadcast television, radio, on-demand services, personal content and program metadata with social networks to create personalized, social and shareable viewing experiences.  According to The Guardian it acts like a personalized aggregation tool for online media content, pulling in not just BBC TV and radio but your favorite content from YouTube, 4oD and the rest of the web. Here’s the kicker, they offer a  slick lime green and black interface, styled like the iPlayer with that very accessible BBC-esque usability. There’s also a similar version for both the iPhone and a customized NetGem set-top box offering a simplified form that includes “my favourites” or “recommended to me”.  We’re excited to see .tv being used globally and appreciate when companies, such as SlipStream leverage it to showcase their video platforms.
