Democracy - a "long tail" site

[ChuckyBox]

Hey, long tail fans, check out Democracy (http://www.getdemocracy.com/watch/) -- downloadable internet TV. I can't vouch for their content selection, but it is more than just Rocketboom. TiVo has been moving in this direction for a long time, but they aren't doing it yet. Why?

I want my iTV.

Tara, Pony, Stephen, Tom, are you listening?

Wow…. Usually, these things require some voodoo closed source proprietary player, but this seems rather cool at first glance.

One to keep an eye on!

Thanks, Chucky!

I've already got iptv. Now I want it on my Tivo!!

Pretty cool stuff. Where is Justin?

(Now that I think of it, where is Justin? I haven't seen him on the board lately.)

/edit: And oh yeah, the thread topic! :) Democracy looks great, I like the idea behind it, and the interface looks friendly enough for regular people.

I find it ironic that DTV has been on Macs for a while now.

I'd rather have TivoToGo
