Some of you have probably seen this video about a new Google TV gadget from “Infinite Solutions” which claims to offer real-time streaming of primetime TV programs. It probably had you thinking “So nice of Google!!!” Unfortunately, it’s just a fake.

Here’s the clip:

The domain displayed in the video, tv.google.com, raised my suspicions. So I tried entering the address in my browser. Also, I followed the instructions on the clip a dozen times—Nothing worked.

Finally, my curiosity led me to the answer to this “controversial issue”. By researching the Net I found out that Google TV beta is some funny joke made by Google staff =]

Yet, I came across another video on Youtube.com where a guy shows how he managed to make Google TV Beta work after 114 logins… Well, is it another attempt to play around with naive users who’ll keep trying to make Google TV work on their desktops…? I didn’t go too deep researching that one. You can try for yourself and see what happens

Here’s the second controversial video:

Wiki now has a new rival sister– Amapedia, a community for sharing information about the products people like the most launched by Amazon.com (AMZN). As many of you would have guessed, Amepedia will be a commercial site. You have to be registered with Amazon.com to be able to use Amapedia services.

Where is the content from?

Amapedia offers content previously created in Amazon.com’s ProductWiki feature, (a section of a website, where users can add and edit content freely.)

With the launch of Amapedia as the next generation of Amazon.com’s ProductWiki feature, Amazon is capitalizing on opportunities missed during the several years before the Web 2.0 frenzy. At that time Amazon was the site that contained user-generated content and social networking features, but that site was not able to live up to a site independent from Amazon shopping. So now Amazon is making a comeback with an attempt to cater to an even larger segment of new groups of web consumers.
