If this succeeds, yet again these clowns will have violated the first to market principle. If its not live TV, its youtube...so how can they possibly displace that? If it is live tv, its http://www.tvunetworks.com, which is both public and illegal (I would imagine)...of course, that hasn't stopped these guys before. If its clips of tv shows, then welcome back to 1997. It would be nice if being an entrepreneur on the net meant more than eventually deciding to release a project riding the coat tails of existing success. But clearly, these guys are proof its just that: kazaa, skype and now this are not original, not that good, and yet wildly successful. Open your eyes you mush-headed people! I don’t get it.

The Skype presence system is sub-standard and underminds skype as a messaging platform. Sorry if I'm particularly sensitive to this issue it is only because my service (messagr.com) relies heavily on the skype presence system to work. How are we to innovate, progress and build new services when the existing ones don't work?!

I've got some video plans and TVP seems like a good candidate to launch some great content on. Looking forward to receiving a token to try things out.

LX Systems (Peer Impact) and Gridnetworks do p2p video better at the moment . The UI is what makes will make TVP stand out from other clients The UI is full screen with lots of transparency effects and very DVR like, if you poke around the menus you will find lots of features . The reason they extended the closed beta is so they can work on the p2p side of things and get some scale then I'm sure they will improve the video also as they improve the delivery system . The minimum requirements to run The Venice project * Pentium 4 processor, 1GHz * 512Mb or more RAM. * A modern video card with DirectX support and at least 32Mb of VRAM. * About 500 MB free disk space; The Venice Project™ software is a 12 MB download, expanding to 40-45 MB on disk. The remainder is used as a cache.

I guess they are waiting to see the reactions of the people.. and what people expect out of it.. There should be a bunch of functions coming around .. i mean the creater of both kazaa and skype .. theyre not stupid.. but i do think this project is before its time.. The world is not ready for a TV on the NET thing yet.. i mean people just got accustomed to sites like youtube metcafe etc.. and it will take a couple a months before this project will be actual for the people. by that time i guess google or yahoo already on the hunch. so they better keep it up.. well i think for a beta the site i not totaly finnished.
