Pyro.tv – A Slightly Different Approach To Online Video
Everton | Apr 11, 2007 | View Comments
I got an email yesterday from Pyro.tv a new online Video service from Vibe Solutions who are best known for their video-calling service. The idea behind Pyro.tv is that users can watch their favorite video channels, whilst browsing through updates for other channels.
I like how this feature works as one of the annoying features of YouTube is you can’t browse the site whilst watching a video at the same time very well. If you browse to a new page on YouTube then the currently playing video will stop.
The layout of Pyro.tv is also very clean as well. When I compared Pyro.TV’s layout to YouTube’s I was amazed when I realised how much space was wasted on YouTube, although I think a lot of this space is where YouTube will feature Google adverts.
Pyro.TV includes all the usual features of online video services, but I think the ability to easily set up personalised channels and multi-video channel, could set Pyro.TV apart from the competition. There’s no need to know acronyms or download software – all you have to do is just select your favorite TV and video channels. Users can choose from user-created content or featured channels including abc, USA Today and the BBC to name a few.
The site is definitely worth a visit and also because Pyro.TV are giving away a free iPod each week for to beta users.
