Miro, which was formally called Democracy, has been going
strong with over 200,000 downloads in the last month alone. The application
could use some great PR as the non-profit company which supports it is in need
of donations to keep the project maintained well.
Both new and returning users will hope to see many
improvements and features to entice new users. My primary complaint is the fact
that there is no way to throttle your download speed within the application.
This ranks as a significant problem for me, and possibly for others who need to
use their computer while Miro is working. However, that does not take
away from the greatness of this application.
That one issue aside, Miro is a wonderful project that
everyone should try. No other project gives you the ability to find, download,
and manage video content so easily. I wish great things for Miro and the
Participatory Culture Foundation. For now, you can check out the 2nd
public preview which is completely free and available for most operating systems today.
When I get my hands on the final release I will be sure to
break down the new features, and possibly even give it a review.
