Today [Twitch] is introducing a new feature called “clips,” which lets viewers record 30-second snippets of a stream, which they can then share on places like Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit. The tool appears to be pretty simple to use; you click the new clips button in the video player, and it will automatically save the previous 25 seconds of the stream, as well as the next five seconds. You’ll then be able to share the clip as a link, which will also connect viewers back to the original broadcaster. – Andrew Webster, The Verge

Posted on by Leave a comment

Saturday Night Live‘s team had a solid team effort in this riff on a Bloomberg News TV panel trying to explain the extremely important but extremely eye-glazing topic of net neutrality. Except, according to SNL, the real reason for all the heat on net neutrality isn’t about getting to watch House of Cards at a reasonable quality level. It’s about that other stuff the Internet brings to your computers at very high quality. – Jeremy Gerard, Deadline Hollywood
