The look & feel of the site has been updated, and along with it the sidebar (currently the right sidebar) displays the latest HD-related film & video tweets.

If you are wondering how this was done, a search on Twitter was done, then the “feed” for that search was “burned” using feedburner.com into a shorter & more usable url (http://feeds.feedburner.com/HDfilmtweets). Most people know enough about the social media / social networking site Twitter.com, which has shifted the direction of online activities for many people towards real-time (or near-real-time) life streaming.

“In the future all channels will be obsolete… ”

“There will be an infinite number of channels available because while one is counting what is available there will be many more created…”

HD on TV is exploding (USA) and will continue until… until channel are obsolete. Obsolete when users will have video-on-demand… the on-demand delevision that will require standard TV evolve to give people a reason to switch away from the internet.

But once you are watching your large HDTV fed via a home computer… it will likely offer a better experience. Imagine – and someday you shouldn’t have to – an internet-streamed HD movie that allows you to pause , mouse over an actor, and get info on bios in real time (such as the lastest celebrity news) and have custom weather alerts or allow you to have a picture-in-picture of a webcam chat with your friend (who’s watching the same flick)…

… and you’ll have an infinite number of channels, because it’s the internet, and even if you started counting, by the time you count the tens of thousands of channels there would be more already added… when every webcam is HD-quality, then there would be millions of “channels”, seemingly infinite (in both a good and bad way!).

Welcome to HDfilm.org, the blog for HD film fans. More fans are on the way, as are more pages for this website. Enjoy!!

So Disney at least offers downloadable content and leans towards HDTV quality… but the market for HD is slow to lift off. Most people don’t have HDTV television sets, and fewer still have access to a lot of channels.

The final piece of the HDuzzle is to have a way to watch HD content that is on your computer… putting that signal stream to your cool plasma tv from your PC is 99% un-doable for most people right now.
