We are currently working on building the first online portal, community, directory for creatives, innovators, corporate entities, sellers, buyers, intelligence sources, and more... in the emerging industry around TV applications and widgets. It's inevitable that TV and the Web will come together full force in a convergence that will easily open new doors for the web and mobile development communities due to ported platforms such as HTML 5, Apple, Android, Flash, EBIF and other existing technologies that will make up the future landscape on TV.
Join us at Appmarket.tv to help build the 'Mashable' for the next generation of convergent media. We are at heart, innovators, builders, creatives, and creators. If you are interested in funding, building, consulting, constructing, speaking, advising in this space or even supporting us with an ad on this site - feel free to contact us. We can't offer any money for writers as, like most publications, we are building this without equity but rather sweat... and it's all about the consolidation of and sharing of market intelligence for all of us - being Open Source advocates at heart. Learning and sharing together will only improve the new industry and make it easier for all of us aiming to participate in it. If you are a web or mobile app or widget developer, list yourself in our directory and give us a shout. We have an excellent network built up of interested parties.
