Babelgum.com is a free, Internet and Mobile television platform that began in 2005 by Italian media and telecommunications entrepreneur Silvio Scaglia. This site offers professional and semi-professional produced programming on-demand to a global audience. In doing this, Babelgum.com wants to essentially act as the international ‘glue’ or as they put it “like a modern-day Tower of Babel” for a global online audience. Babelgum.com currently has five dedicated channels: Film, Music, Comedy, Our Earth, and Metropolis.

What’s cool about Babelgum:

Technology
They have their own free application that delivers video via the 3G and Wi-Fi networks available on the iPhone, iPod touch, and some models of Nokia phones.

Talent Scouting
Babelgum has two online contests for promising filmmakers and music artists. There is the Babelgum Online Film Festival, chaired by award-winning director and producer Spike Lee and the Babelgum Music Video Awards, judged by acclaimed film and music video director Michael Gondry.

Independent Filmmakers
They welcome independent filmmakers to upload an unlimited amount of quality content. They also will partner with you to monetize your content…cha-ching…$$$$.

I am proud to say Do The Right Thing, my favorite movie by Spike Lee, is celebrating its 20th anniversary. There is a special 20th anniversary edition DVD on sale now. I, of course, already have this movie on DVD so I haven't picked up this edition, BUT I will.

Just me:
Just like Spike Lee's School Daze, this movie was an instant classic for me. One of my all time favorite movies. In my opinion, it's definitely Spike Lee's best!!!!
