Jaman: Join the World
<http://www.jaman.com/> Jaman: Think YouTube, but with almost high-def feature films sourced from all over the world. Jaman is built on two good ideas: First, the company is pushing the notion of "social cinema." The service lets viewers comment upon feature films and store favorites, just as they would with amateur YouTube shorts. Second, Jaman is going after the wider world of film that exists beyond the confines of highly negotiated Hollywood distribution contracts. Said Jaman CEO Gaurav Dhillon, "Less than 1% of all films in the world get distributed in the U.S." Dhillon aims to distribute, online, some big chunk of the other 99% - and for the low, low price of $1.99 to rent or $4.99 to buy. It's a cool product, and once you see the Jaman viewer/browser, you begin to think that a closed tool like iTunes is missing the Web 2.0 movement entirely. _______________________________________________ OSX-Nutters mailing list | OSX-Nutters@... http://www.tit-wank.com/mailman/listinfo/osx-nutters Join us in #ramblingwaffles on irc.23x.net
