Right after the GlooTV the "The Venice Project" team also sent me an invitation for a beta testing.
TVP looked REALLY cool. DirectX GUI, p2p streaming, intuitive interface. It looks like they currently support only Windows XP SP2, and there still are a lot of bugs, but in general it looks pretty cool. Even though I wasn't able to view any channel as it was intended to be (my ADSL is sooo slow) but seeing all the features they had in mind makes me think I will never have to buy TV again. :) Well only if I become HDTV fan, but not in the nearest feature. Also I am wondering if it will be free to watch the chanels or not (p2p anyway...could be free).
Cool thing is that TVP looked expandable (I've seen that there can be different plugins) and the GUI is a very fine looking.
I might post more info on my beta test later
Stay tuned!

The VeniceProject beta testing

GlooTV - ooops :)
GlooTV beta is almost out. They will be sending the invitation soon, but also they've release some more info on what GlooTV actually is.
This is their product review:
GlooTV is a search site for finding the products and services the consumer wants to buy. GlooTV is all about desire and fulfilling those desires. GlooTV, a set of interactive services that allows users to find products and services seen in their favorite television programs, movies, etc. Ever wonder where to purchase that stunning dress worn in Desperate Housewives? What about learning more about medical conditions mentioned in E.R? Now users find what they have seen and heard, or what is implied in a show, by searching for products in a specific episode, across all episodes, across multiple shows, and many other ways.
Sounds cool, but who knows how it actually works. We'll see in a couple of weeks!
And definatly that's not the p2p-centered thingy..:), like a wrote before. Wouldn't it be funny if the VeniceProject is also something like that?:)
