With the heat in the Internet video sector showing no signs of cooling down, it’s great to see our friends over at Participatory Culture improving the excellent open source Internet TV player, Miro (formerly Democracy, and renamed in honour of it going to full version 1.0 status). Heartfelt congratulations to Nicolas and the team.
Miro is an open, non-proprietary player that stands as a direct contrast to the closed gardens and general VC-funded big money players of Joost, Babelgum, Veoh, etc, who are all in varying degrees more interested in big media rather than independent visions. If you support independent video, and open standards (Miro utilises the VLC video player which plays nice across the gamut of video formats) then please give Miro a try. We’ll definitely be using it as A Swarm of Angels progresses. [via Boing Boing]
