Intruders.tv - Video Blog About the World of 2.0

How’s this for a proposition: create a video blog covering the world of web 2.0 and call it Intruders.tv? The name might sound off-putting, bullish even, especially to fragile start-ups, but the makers of Intruders.tv have done a fine job. Rather than being just another video site, this blog is insightful and has grit. Anyone interested in the going’s on of today’s internet scene should take a look. You’ll find interviews with the likes of Jyri Engestrom co-founder of Jaiku and Doug Richard from the BBC program Dragons’ Den; for those of you curious about funding, Intruder gives the mike to TrustedPlaces creators Walid Al Saqqaf and Sokratis Papafloratos who explain how they raised $1million in Angel financing and their personal experiences of the process. The site is available in French and English. RSS feeds, podcasts, and mobile integration are also offered.

“intruders.tv is a European video blog network covering the web2.0 ecosystem. Our main objective is to take you to the major conferences and Web events, visit the technologists for demos, interview entrepreneurs and web workers, give you tours of cool startups and a first look at the hottest web apps. We will meet face to face with the most interesting people and have open conversations with them about their work, current projects and get their views on our industry.”

Intruders.tv, a new webTV for a new internet, as they have tagged it, goes hand in hand with web 2.0 and the convergence of new media. Rather than staid and tired text they’ve entered the video realm which is far more engaging than mere summaries. The site has a slick, hip design meant capture a younger, more influential audience. It makes business more compelling and less boring.

Is the site too niche? Will they enable more user friendly features?
