Where we begin

The subject of television for the web is fairly new. When we think back through the history of web television, we find that it really begins after iPod video was introduced in October of 2005. ABC/Disney were the first to cash in profits by repurposing television shows to iTunes and the web.
With the lack of budgets and the savvy of web showcasing, many television producer wannabes and DIY filmmakers created quality content for the internet. Previously, the content on the web was that of the world of video: low quality with little or no thought to content and storyline. Now, we are experiencing television, actually episodes, or webisodes, being produced solely for the web.
Ragtag Productions, a group of three DIY filmmakers, created the web series We Need Girlfriends. After a year run, the show was picked up to be made into a television series produced by Darren Starr. (Zap2it Report) A first of its kind deal, it was followed by the purchase of Quarterlife to NBC. The show did not do well on broadcast television. We Need Girlfriends will air in October of 2008 and we'll see how it does.
In the meantime, more and more shows are being produced for the web. This is where we will review and critique "twebivision."
