Comcast recently announced that it has received the "People's Choice Award" for The Fan??? media player at the 16th Flashforward Conference and Film Festival held in Austin, Texas, from September 11-14, 2006. The Fan competed against 60 other Internet sites and applications for the coveted award.
The Fan streams video clips on Comcast's portal Comcast.net to the company's 10 million high-speed Internet subscribers and provides an easy way to find, search, watch, organize and save favorite video content. The Fan streams hundreds of thousands of short-form video clips related to entertainment, games, shopping, travel and other content that consumers want to view online, averaging about 3 million video downloads a day.
The Flashforward conference is the largest international Flash-related film festival in the world. Every year the top sites on the Web that use Flash technology are entered as contestants in the festival. People's Choice award is the only award judged by actual Internet users, rather than a panel of experts.
