(2007-12-03) Wilson Living Room System

Fred Wilson describes his Home Server entertainment system. The thing I didn't realize when I set up this system is how much a difference the MacMini-s would make. We use them to play DVD-s, we use them to play Video we buy or download from the web, we use them to power screen savers on the displays when we are listening to music, and we use them increasingly to listen to music from the web... Both the TumblR and HypeMachine listening experiences are "social listening" experiences. They are experiences that are programmed by me and the people I am connected to via the web. We could have listened to my neighbor radio on LastFm as well.
