Cull TV's Cool Video Streaming Service Comes to Second Life

Cull TV, the very cool video streaming service developed by Linden Lab and Second Life alum, has come home (so to speak): You can now click here to get a Cull TV made especially for Second Life for free in the SL Marketplace. If you want a stream of user-curated music videos playing in your SL home, nightclub, or whatever, this thing is for you. There's even some SL-centric Cull video playlists already available: Click here for mine, with many of my favorite SL machinima videos, and click here for the Cull video channel of JJCCC Coronet, an SL arist who makes some visually spectacular machinimas, many set to Duran Duran, and shot in the band's official site.

As for Cull TV the company, it's doing great, CEO Katherine de Leon (once known as Iridium Linden) tells me. Since I last spoke with her this Summer, they've partnered with one of my favorite alt rock bands, among many others:

"Since launch, we've partnered with independent record labels to feature bands like Cake and Mac Miller and emerging artists like Soul Khan. We've also worked with Moogfest and Lights All Night to give music lovers sneak peeks into some of the US' best music festivals."

SLers in particular have been a key part of the service's growth: "Some of our most passionate cullers are SL Residents," she tells me. "In fact, we're currently featuring a Resident-created Duran Duran machinima channel." (The one I mentioned above.) "The SL community has always been committed to art and interested in new technologies, so it's no surprise that they've created amazing machinima channels with Cull TV."

So there you go: Get your Cull TV for SL here, offered by John "Eddie Stryker" Hurliman, who was instrumental to the birth of Second Life's many early open source projects, and is now Cull TV's co-founder.

Does this let me put in a Youtube favorites list?

@Pussycat not yet, but it's something we'd like to support soon. We're still polling to see what import features people would be most interested in. I'll add that as a +1 for YouTube playlist importing!

Nod.

Right now I play my youtube playlist with a web prim, and its a pain, as you end up with that whole web-page there, and every-time I log off, somebody comes by and leaves the thing on some Justin Beiber or Lady Gaga video. ;)
- You can lock them to stick within YouTube, but can't limit what vids they can go to, and web-prims don't navigate back to home 'after so long or non-use'...

TV streaming services took a big leap and now you can watch any tv channel from any device staying in any place if you have proper internet connection
