Cheers, thats another exciting service for sure! Has some stuff in common with recent ponderings about non-video media (eg photos & text blog) being blended with video into something that you watch. Their implementation so far seems like a clever idea but Im already put off by lots of silly little niggles with the specific way they've done it & the layout of their player, but thats just my initial impression.
I love the idea that other people can text/mms/email or drag&drop content to be added to that show, great stuff!
