First on Mars V2 Launch at MIPTV - Pictures!

Written by DavidOnMars

First on Mars proudly launched V2 at the MIPTV conference in Cannes, France last week. Aside from releasing the news to the press during the conference, First on Mars also sponsored the Digital Creative Party at the Carlton Hotel to celebrate the V2 launch.

First on Mars hosted a demo lounge at the party to show the site to guests, complete with lounge chairs, coffee tables, and the First on Mars guide shown on a 42-inch plasma screen! And dare I even mention the phenomenal food spread?! Some of the best food I had while in France!

Check out these choice pics from our MIPTV experience.

First on Mars V2 New Features

Written by DavidOnMars

Amid the bumping and grinding of TV executives at the MIPTV conference in Cannes, France last week, we proudly launched First on Mars V2. V2 is all about social. Now you’ll find feeds, show walls and profile pages as you cruise around FOM. We didn’t think the world needs another social network, but we realized these tools are a pretty great way to discover TV shows, gossip about your favorite cast members and, well, to feel a little less lonely as you click the play button!

The newly added First on Mars feeds provide users with real time updates on activity related to their favorite shows, networks, TV moods and, now, other First on Mars TV fans. Profiles include graphical representations of the shows, networks, TV moods and people the user has chosen to follow as well as a clickable history of the user’s activity on FOM. TV show “walls” are pages where TV fans can post comments, reviews, links, photos and quizzes related to a show or episode.

Check out the video above for an introduction to the new features of First on Mars V2. And when you’re done, head on over to your First on Mars guide to find, organize and share links to over 13,000 free on-demand episodes from your favorite TV shows!

With all of the other features of V2, we’ve also launched a new user forum where you can share your thoughts, comments or diatribes on First on Mars V2. Happy TV viewing!
