Syndicated Television's New Deal
The Participatory Culture Foundation - a sister project of the good folks at Downill Battle - has released an RSS aggregator for video called DTV Beta:
"DTV is a new, free and open-source platform for internet television and video. An intuitive interface lets users subscribe to channels, watch video, and build a video library. Our publishing software lets you broadcast full-screen video to thousands of people at virtually no cost. The project is non-profit, free and open source, and built on open standards. A Windows version of DTV and a full website are well underway and will arrive in the next several weeks."
They're not kidding about how easy it is to use. I was literally watching video - even funny video! - within seconds of downloading the software. And the best part is that it's totally open. Utterly fantastic.
