I promised yesterday to write about Akimbo, as one of a number of profiles upcoming. Curious, just thinking back to those comments about journalists and PR, when I e-mail people using my journalist hat I get ready responses. When I e-mail saying I want info for the blog there’s a tendency to ignore me. That takes some getting used to.
Akimbo though have been great so hat’s off (which one?) to them. Akimbo was one of the first into the IP TV space and these are their current fame claims:
- 10,000 titles on the Akimbo Service and over 100 more added each week
- Available on Microsoft Media Center PCs as part of Microsoft Media Center’s “Online Spotlight” offerings
- Media Center subscribers can also use an XBox game player as a media extender to show Akimbo programming on TV
- Available on AT&T’s Homezone
- First exclusive footage last December from Expedition 360, about a group English explorers who are attempting to circumnavigate the world only by human-powered means
This information came courtesy of Blaise Simpson who works for ar partners, Akimbo’s PR people, who’s also offered an interview with Akimbo personnel. I’ll be taking Blaise up on that in the next few days.
