Democracy – cool video tool

Posted by gerloff on 0

When I saw this on BoingBoing, I was too busy with WIPO to write about it. Though the news is slightly old already by now, this is still so great that I can’t hold my tongue:

There is a new, easy Free Software tool for viewing and publishing Internet video. Democracy aim to be as simple as the Firefox browser. Not only does it make watching internet video easier, it is also supposed to make publishing your own a breeze. It’ll even help you distribute them via Bittorrent, the setup of which, I take it, was not for the faint of heart until now.

The Mac and Windows editions are out already, and a GNU/Linux port is coming up. They are still looking for developers. Apparently, there is even some bounty money left to be had.

So get to it, guys and gals. I want this on my machine as quickly as possible.
