08/12/2004 11:58 PMDownhill Battle -- the net-activist group that created Grey Tuesday,
WhatACrappyPresent.com, Save the iPod and others -- are raising funds
for the first time. They want to use the money to fund more ambitious
campaigns, including creating PSAs that advocate increased media
diversity and sending them on CD to independent radio stations and
flyering concerts. I just gave 'em fifty bucks.

Downhill Battler Tiffiniy Cheng writes, "The Downhill Battle team
formed a new funded nonprofit called the Participatory Culture
Foundation last fall and today we're announcing our first new project
and biggest project ever -- an open source, open standard video
platform for making your own video channel and watching the thousands
and eventually millions of video channels out there. We're so excited
at the prospect of building tools so that people can watch high
quality, full screen, independent videos with an experience similar to
watching television while the explosion of independent videos happens
simultaneously. Please check out our
announcement
to start paving a way to getting videos on your desktop."
Downhill Battle is the sharpest new activist group I've seen in years
-- net-savvy, savagely funny, strategically sound. Check this out.

Remote: Mouse of the Digital Lifestyle?.
A few months ago, while working on a cover story for
Business 2.0 (read: Do
this Get Rich), I proposed an idea that a remote control type
device that solved the complexity issues in the digital lifestyles was
going to be a slam dunk. This was my elevator pitch for what I called,
D-Mote:
As our homes fill up with all sorts of new digital electronics,
PCs, PDA’s, Wi-Fi routers, home
networking equipment, flat screens, and IP-based phones, consumers will have a harder and
harder time connecting them all together.Most of us are still
struggling with all of these gadgets. We are not ready for the
converged lifestyle.That is why we need the d-mote.This is a digital
remote that can automatically find and configure all the networked
devices in your home.Think of it as a home entertainment network
administrator for dummies.
It is a device with buttons and a small screen like on a PDA, along with both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
connectivity.What makes it so useful is that it has smart software
that can help configure and manage all these devices easily, and
upgrades itself automatically over the Internet as new devices and
networking standards become available. The D-mote can tell users what
music, movies, or data is where on which device. This will mostly be a
software play, but initially will be sold as a device that will run on
either a Palm or PocketPC OS and support a
whole bunch of networking protocols. When a new device is brought into
the home, the D-mote connects to it and configures it to work with the
existing network.Well obviously the venture capitalists did not care
much about the idea. Here is what they had to say.
D-Mote This startup would have developed a remote control that
would automatically find and configure all the networked devices in
your home, as well as manage all the digital content. Only the name
was on target; the VCs demoted this clunker to the bottom of the heap.
The fatal flaw? Giants like Microsoft, Sony, and others are already
working on their own solutions for the problem. “Why won’t
it be in Windows?”
Storm Ventures’s Sanjay Subhedar asked with a
chuckle.
Others were not as kind. Stewart
Alsop, New Enterprise Associates
quipped, “I highly recommend you guys stay editors. This
territory is hard for startups, because you need a lot of capital to
survive, and getting a lot of capital is difficult. Moreover even big
companies have a tough time getting remotes to work.” Well with
the heavyweights dismissing it, I was just a tad discouraged, and
forgot about it, since more pressing issues were on hand. But this
past week, the idea began to haunt me again, courtesy of some
executives from Logitech, the PC peripheral
maker.
Last week, the company spent $29 million in cash to buy out Intrigue
Technologies, makers of Harmony Remote. Harmony
Remote is a remote control that can be updated and used for
controlling many devices - thanks to a CDDB
type database that stores instructions for thousands of devices. Users
can easily download these instructions from the Internet (Sort of like
getting CD track information from Gracenote
database!) and update the remote using a USB
connection on a computer.
When asked why the company spent so much cash, David Henry,
Logitech senior vice president of the Control Devices Business Unit
said, “We believe that the advanced remote control will establish
itself as ‘the mouse of the digital house’ and that Logitech
is uniquely positioned to do for the emerging digital devices in the
living room what it has already done for the PC.” The analysts have also chimed in.
“The market for convergence and advanced entertainment remote
controls that provide simple solutions for using today’s complex
entertainment systems will grow as consumers become aware of
them,” said Tricia Parks, president of market research firm Parks
Associates. “Our early estimates indicate that the worldwide
market for these types of remote controls will be approximately $500
million in 2004, with annual future growth in double
digits.”
“The category of advanced remote controls is in its
infancy,” said Bob O’Donnell, senior industry analyst for
IDC. “There is potential to completely
transform this category and accelerate its growth, when you combine
the convergence of the PC and consumer
electronics with innovative new concepts and
designs.”
But it was what Bryan Mcleod, chief executive officer of Intrigue,
said that has me convinced that this is going to be a big
opportunity. He said, that the company could in the future
support any wireless communications standard - Radio frequency, WiFi
and Bluetooth - and enhance the functionality of the remotes.
In his mind, the remote ideally should be “activity based.”
For instance today Harmony when told to “play movie” can dim
lights of the room, turn on the DVD/home
theater system, and television and basically create a whole
environment.
While watching American Wedding, the phone rings,
and you hit pause, the lights go up, the system idles and the movie
experience pauses for a minute. This is brilliant. I think what is
more brilliant is that companies like Intrigue realize that it is good
to give power to the people. A smart user knows more about devices he
loves and uses.The next step could be downloading the instructions
from the internet for say a Roku
Soundbridge, a Microsoft Media
Center (Shudder!) and other motley crew of devices. I think given
Mcleod’s ideas, my dumb ass pitch for a D-Mote doesn’t sound
so stupid after all.
