Strike.tv launches today

Strike.TV is the webisode site that the WGA writers started working on during their strike last year.  It launches with 10 webisodes (Variety calls them "skeins" - apparently, webisodes are so last month, but since the terminology hasn't been established, I'll continue to call them webisodes for now).  They're written by pros and some have recognizable talent starring in them.

Is this the first webisode channel?  It may be.  Sure, others have webisodes along with one-offs and user content, but this may be the first pure web serial play.  I like the concept.  Call out to indie filmmakers -- we need an indie webisode channel as well because it's no good trying to find one-offs.  If you can't compete with the star power and mainstream media of Hollywood writers, you can still offer something they don't have yet -- the long tail in a single location.
