With a name like Democracy (formerly DTV), this application makes a strong statement by making the user somewhat of a program selecter. You choose which channels to subscribe to, you choose which clips to keep, delete, etc. As of right now, there’s a limited amount of channels that provide good, quality content, but what do you expect for free? I suppose you could say the same for 90% of the podcasts out there. At any rate, the interface of Democracy is well thought out and quite nice to use—not perfect though. While it’s easy to subscribe to channels and navigate through them, once you’ve downloaded more than 10 clips, they get stuck in a huge, scrolling row on the right. I suspect these small tweaks will be attended to as the development progresses. Other than that, it’s a real nice app, a pleasure to use—definitely fills a gap with internet TV/videos.
One more thing…on Mac OS X, once you start downloading clips, the default file location is in your Videos folder, which makes them accessible via Front Row. Nice!
Great job to everyone at the Participatory Culture Foundation!
