Fastcompany TV launched today with 2 new shows completely developed and produced by Robert Scoble and Rocky Barbanica. The first 2 shows are Scobleizer (basically the same show as was previously done by Podtech) and Fastcompany Live (filmed with Nokia cellphones). These are the first two shows of many which will be shown on Fastcompany TV and as Robert says in the video below, this is only the start of this company and he wants to try to get the users involved in the company as much as possible.
It was reported on Friday by Michael Arrington over at Techcrunch that in the deal with Robert Scoble and FastCompany, that Robert had to allow Fast Company to monetize his weblog and give it an overall makeover. I know for a long time now Scoble has always protested about putting advertisements on his personal weblog and with good reason. However, this being sad, his weblog has great potential and really does need a make over at the very least. Im sure that with the relationship between Robert and Fast Company, Robert wont want to put obtrusive advertisements on his weblog and in the long run he will still be in total control of that property. I know im just going to be happy to see a new layout!
