I really want to try Videora, but...
OK, as my loyal reader(s) know, I am always trying out the web technology flavor of the month whether it be an RSS service or a social networking site. I just love to see what other people are doing with web technologies and then see how I can apply that to my site or my work.
Now recently, I subscribed to the "BitTorrent" tag on del.icio.us and am seeing all of the cool apps and sites that are serving up TV shows via BT.
Using RSS apps like Videora, you can search for TV shows that you would like to download as well as set up Season Passes and Wish Lists. It really is (as has been widely quoted in every technology publication) TiVo for the internet.
I really, really want to give this a try. More for seeing how it works than for the TV shows (OK, that's kind of like saying that you read Playboy for the articles, but it's true). After all, I already have a TiVo and my HTPCs are configured to record TV as well.
I guess all of those MPAA lawsuits are having an effect on me because, during the Napster heyday, I would dangle my IP address out there for anyone to see (that sounds like of dirty, doesn't it?). Now, I don't want to risk getting busted.
Hey, maybe I could come over to your house and test it out! That would definitely work.
