A New Twend

21 Jun 2010

You have to love the freedom of creating on the interwebs people. From interviewing successful business owners to animating lego or geeks talking about… what geeks talk about. I give you TwendyTV. I with the help of some pretty amazing friends hope to grow TwendyTV into a hip little internet TV network of shows that will one day also integrate into the TV network as seamlessly as switching between cable TV channels. So look out ABC’s of the world, look out NBC, CBS and all the big boys… ha ha… baby steps, ease up Bruce.

Why Twendy?
When I was traveling around Tanzania in June 2009 there was one Swahili word that really stood out, Twende (Let’s Go). After arriving back I felt inspired to start working on an idea for a travel blog called Twende, but this soon turned into grander ideas of creating multiple shows and an internet TV network. One thing lead to another, a tweak of the word to accommodate a grander theme and voila, TwendyTV. If anything it’s a bit of a play on the word Trendy, but the W I feel also gives it a slight TWITTER slang. I have felt for a long time that TV networks and internet content will eventually merge into a seamless experience, so why not start something now before it the BIG BANG happens. What I also love about this project is that there are no boundaries, no limits, this is completely open to the world. Hopefully our regular TV shows will end up the same way, being released to the world instead of restricted to one country then filtering out in time to other countries. Fat chance of that happening right now, but you never know.

Initially we were to launch with 4 shows, but could only manage 3 to start on the current time restraints. We are currently working on the before mentioned travel show and also a conservation style show called Evergreen.
