Babelgum Public Beta now open.
Hot on the heels of Joost, Dublin based Babelgum have opened their public beta. They are imposing a daily download limit at the moment though. Content owners can go here to find out why they’d want to use Bablegum to distribute video content.
Initial impressions are good, the fullscreen UI employing floating transparent dialogs and widget panels that are all the rage these days. Picture quality is excellent and they have some decent original material like Jesus Children Of America.
Let the content race begin…
Update: I forgot to also give a shout out to Democracy 0.9.6 - it is their last version before changing name to Miro.

I installed Democracy Player after reading about Mozilla’s $100K donation. I like it a lot.
Favourite channels so far are The Onion News Network and SEED.

Hey Enda,
Best of luck in Babelgum, seems like a decent move to make! (Say hello to the bro btw, is he hiding under rocks these days?)
