H!t or Sh!t by MtvU – social network MTV style?
TheSpot-er on May 14th, 2007MTV is joining the social networks with its own contribution. They will be announcing today their plans to license a new application apparently developed by couple Georgia Tech students.
Developed by Georgia Tech students David Jimison and Jeff Crouse, Hit! or Sh!t, as it is now named, is a social networking media player designed to build online community groups based on how members rank and recommend clips seen on the Internet.
In the announcement, MTVN said it will deploy the Web-based application, developed through last year’s mtvU Digital Incubator 2.0 program, across MTV Music Group’s online properties as part of its efforts to discover new musical talent.
To be honest – it sounds like good idea but I have already forgotten that MTV actually plays any music. They became so engrossed in stupid reality shows that forgot the reason that channel was created in first place – music …. Or wait! My bad, they created it to stuff line their pockets with cash and in search of most profitable content they quit showing the music …
I only wonder what awaits this new application? Will we see a version of MTV cribs broadcasted over it instead of music that it starts with? What do you think?

H!t or Sh!t sounds like the http://www.Playmusicmagazine.com article with the same name. the readers are able to vote for new music videos. It doesn’t seem like a new idea to me…
I have run into report on this one on holiwoodreporter and link to their site provided in first paragraph for full story … but after checking that site - it does look like it uses this concept. I don’t know if it is based on same software or not.
But do appreaite letting me know about that site. Looks interesting …
I’m going from here to check out this new MTV site.
I don’t know how MTV went so far downhill.
It seems not that long ago that MTV was begging people to send in their videos ,and consequently ended up with some of the best garage/basement tapes of all time.
I have only seen something like it on YOU TUBE since that time.
I hope they keep it MUSIC this time, and would like to see them go back to their original concept.
