Digital Cribs Goes Live
On September, 2nd Cisco will launch Digital Cribs, a new series of webisodes exploring the advanced use of home networks and visual networking in celebrity homes. Digital Cribs profiles interesting individuals and how they use consumer technology in interesting ways.
The first three webisodes feature:
Shane Battier, star of the NBA’s Houston Rockets
Meghan Asha, founder of non-society.com, tech blogger (geekingout.com) and co-star of the new Bravo reality TV series "IT Girls"
Lincoln Schatz, celebrated video artist and creator of Esquire Magazine’s "Faces of the 21st Century" project
Each webisode features a three minute video highlighting the celebrity and how they’ve integrated technology from their "crib" into their life. Plus, there are three other short videos featuring additional uses of the network by the celebrity. You are also able to go into their crib and click on hotspots that launch a brief video that describes the experience in more detail.
The purpose of Digital Cribs is aspirational: to show mainstream consumers what they can do with set top boxes and home networks, especially for bandwidth-intensive "home network 2.0" user experiences, like visual networking.

Ken and Johanna, I’m looking forward to seeing how Meghan and her two partners use their exposure on the upcoming Bravo show.
However, their “non-society” web site could use a makeover. It’s a case study on what happens when a cool idea is badly executed. It’s also a reminder that usability should not take a back seat to design pizazz.
