Hey all, the company I work at has just released a new version of our
software for creating/broadcasting video web sites right from your
desktop. It's compatible with XP and 2000 and is a great way to get
videos onto the screens of friends and family.

Anyhow, PiXPO makes it very, very easy for users to create and host a
video web site right from their own computer. It takes care of the
optimization, transcoding, etc and turns your PC into a server of your
video, photo and audio/podcast content.

We are currently distributing for free. We're going to be adding some
hosted support in the future so it won't require an always-on
connection. BTW, up-pipe limitations and firewall issues are handled
quite nicely with some smart caching/proxying on the network end.

If you're interested, check it out at www.pixpo.com.

I'd love to hear any feedback.

In the meantime, have a look at my personal page (being served from my
laptop here at work):

Definitely check out the Loading Ready Run "channel." It's done
by some local college guys who have been doing a video a week for a
year now:

Hopefully this isn't overly "commercial" (hey we're giving it
away at the moment). I'm thinking this meets a standard of relevance
that it's ok that I post about it (once!).

Cheers,
Rob
