Kyte Flies User Generated TV

Kyte.tv wants to go beyond YouTube in helping people get attention to their video making skills. The company has launched a self-publishing platform to add images and videos on the fly, and wraps it all in social networking features. Would-be stars can host live chats around their content or create message boards, or enable viewers to rate their video clips.

The press release and website don't mention any fees for joining or publishing video, so I'm assuming that they this will be an ad-supported service. YouTube enables people to subscribe to video feeds, but Kyte makes it even easier for publishers to bond with an audience.

Kyte is aggregating readily available technologies and packaging it to create "web video publishing for dummies."

First everyone had a blog, then everyone had a MySpace page. Is a Kyte channel the next natural evolution?
