All for Sony and Sony for All

Sony Pictures Television is planning to get its act together. Since Sony produces so many popular TV shows, their site should be a destination for TV viewers to view video, share thoughts and ideas, and maybe even interact with writers and stars.

Based on documents that Sony filed with the US Patent & Trademark Office on June 22 & 23, 2006, they plan on creating Our Network (or Our TV), allowing visitors to upload, post, blog, share and watch video online. Definitely a step in the right direction, but it's not available yet.

I'm guessing that Sony will keep these features as part of their main site — something like http://www.sonypictures.com/tv/ournetwork — rather than using a separate site. The domain, our.tv, is already taken, but ournetwork.tv is still available if you want to do some domain prospecting.

I also reckon that you'll be able to download eps for a fee from this site. I think there's a reason why none of the Sony shows are currently available on iTunes.
