GigaOm’s newest creation is NewTeeVee Station, which delivers the best video content to viewers, or, said in the more articulate words of CEO Om Malik, provides “a web service that collated and curated the best of the NewTeeVee shows, finding cool videos before they became a meme, (and) shows that genuinely entertain.” Check out 8 stations of excellence in comedy, commercials, drama, music, news & talk, personalities, reality and zeitgeist picks at station.newteevee.com.

Already Lucky in ‘08

January 4, 2008

Om Malik himself broke the news of his recent heart attack in classic GigaOm style: open, to the point, well thought-out, and witty. As usual, trying to write anything after you read one of Om’s posts is at best a humbling experience. He is The Master.

All of us are so thankful for Om’s recovery. We’re also extremely impressed with Om’s close friends, family, and colleagues at GigaOm, who mobilized over the past few days to create a remarkable support system for his recovery. The integrity and professionalism with which Paul, Liz, Katie, Surj, Carolyn, and the entire team acted during this trying time will inspire us all for years to come, and it was a rare privilege for me to witness. If fortune is measured by the quality of friends and people who surround you, then Om is surely at the top of the heap. (Is 583 comments a new record?).

Get well soon, dear friend. All of us at True are here to make your 2008 resolutions a reality. We look forward to many happier and healthier New Years’ together.

The San Francisco Chronicle ran a piece yesterday about the business of blogging. In his article, Zuckerman acknowledges that blogging has matured from a hobby into a serious business. True’s Jon Callaghan is quoted on the industry, as well as GigaOm’s COO Paul Walborsky. Of course, GigaOm’s coverage of the technology industry is an excellent example.

“Blogebrity” is a great word! I wonder if it has made Webster’s yet?

Our Own Influential Om

Rediff India Abroad listed GigaOm CEO Om Malik as one of the 50 Most Influential Indian Americans. After inclusion in this year’s Forbes Top 25 Web Celebs and the only Indian American on Forbes’ list, there is no doubt about this tech blogger’s reporting prowess and influence.
