6. Content Re-use
Digg, Newsvine, Kick, Netscape are all sites that encourage their users to refer articles from other sources. These sites are so well known I won't say much more, except to point out that niche products are now emerging, such as Hugg for environmental news, and local versions like Kick (Ireland).
This is also where buzz trackers and meme machines like Memeorandum, Personalbee, Techmeme and Chuquet belong.
7. Social Bookmarking
I've been slow to realise the value of social bookmarking as a form of discovery and as a unique content category. Yes, it should have been obvious but sorry, I am still learning. I recently became a deli.cio.us browser, haven't had much time for Magnolia or the many others out there.
8. User Content TV
Digital Magic is one of the few examples I've seen of industrial strength user content TV. Plenty of TV channels want to do it but these guys have succeeded and often by taking web content and making it T-viewable.
9. Corporate and Political TV
Corporations like Budweiser, Land Rover, The State of Massachusetts, the Spanish Socialist Party, and many more are setting up their own TV channels. London and Glasgow have also done it. Running a TV channel is going to become a must-do for those types of organisataions.
10. New Search Engines
Dabble is an example of what search engines will become, strong on content that evolves when people co-discover and recommend audio-visual content. John Battelle is experimenting with a similar concept, aggregating the searches of users to drive content on his blog. Clusty by way of contrast has what I think is a great content concept - group search results and present them as clouds - visual content from search. What Clusty does for visualisation, Eurekster does for communities, adding your social network to the search mix.
11. Live Performance
Fab Channel comes to the web from the Clubs of Amsterdam. It's not always live but it is always an on-demand version of a live performance. More lively still is Karaoke TV, though to date it's been a favourite in Korea rather than Kingston. TV stations have increasingly taken to broadcasting events via the web (horse racing, music), but real live performance web is an original product adding original elements to the performance. Underground TV nearly gets there, though as yet you can't say it is using the medium to innovation in the performance. We can expect many more experiments going foward.

Very nicely done and in-depth report on the state of media on the internet. There's also FreeTube via Digg, which I guess would fall under aggregator of TV channels.
